What happens here
The site is further prepared for the retaining wall and patio. Trenches are dug along the planned layout for the retaining wall, using both manual shoveling and the mini-excavator. A geotextile fabric is laid in the trenches to provide stability and prevent mixing of base materials with native soil. Gravel is then spread and compacted in these trenches to create a stable foundation for the retaining wall blocks. A plate compactor is used to achieve the necessary density, while workers ensure proper leveling and alignment.
Goal: Establish a stable, level foundation for the retaining wall.
