What happens here

With the foundation prepared, the crew begins laying the retaining wall blocks. This involves carefully placing each block, ensuring it is level and properly aligned with the adjacent blocks. Workers use levels to check individual blocks and the overall course. The wall is constructed in a curved, multi-tiered design, defining the boundaries of the planned patio and entertainment area.

Goal: Build the curved, multi-tiered retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Level — Checking the levelness of individual blocks and courses
  • Retaining Wall Blocks — Building the curved retaining wall
  • Shovel — Adjusting the base material for block placement
