What happens here
After the base is prepared, begin constructing the new steps using retaining wall blocks. Each block is carefully placed, ensuring it is level and properly aligned with the previous blocks. The worker is seen using a rubber mallet to tap blocks into place, which helps to seat them firmly and achieve proper alignment. A level is frequently used to check the horizontality and verticality of the blocks as they are laid.
Goal: Build the structural body of the steps using retaining wall blocks.
Tools and materials
- Level — Checking the horizontality and verticality of each block
- Retaining Wall Blocks — Building the main structure of the steps
- Rubber Mallet — Seating and adjusting blocks for proper alignment
- Shovel — Adjusting the base material as needed
- Trowel — Applying adhesive if required between block layers
- Construction Adhesive — Securing layers of retaining wall blocks together for added stability
