What happens here
Using a Bobcat mini excavator, dig a trench along the desired path of the retaining wall. The trench needs to be wide and deep enough to accommodate the base layer of gravel, the first course of blocks, and provide sufficient embedment for stability. As the excavator digs, use shovels to manually clear and level the bottom of the trench, ensuring it is flat and at the correct depth. Remove any debris, roots, or large rocks that could compromise the foundation.
Goal: Excavate a stable and level trench for the retaining wall foundation.
