What happens here
Complete all remaining backfilling behind the retaining wall, continuing to utilize geo-grid and compacting each layer of gravel and soil meticulously to maximize stability. Pay close attention to local codes and engineering specifications regarding geo-grid requirements, especially for walls supporting heavy loads or surcharges (like hills, buildings, or trees), as these elements exert dynamic pressures that necessitate stronger reinforcement regardless of wall height. After the wall is fully backfilled and compacted, grade the surrounding area to ensure proper drainage and prevent water accumulation, which could compromise the wall's foundation. As a final step, straw blanket the graded slopes to prevent erosion and aid in revegetation, blending the new retaining wall seamlessly with the landscape.
Goal: This final construction phase involves completing the backfilling process, grading the surrounding terrain, and applying finishing touches to ensure long-term stability and aesthetic appeal.
