Our Worst season yet

What happens here

The crew begins building the multi-tiered retaining wall using concrete blocks. They use a Kubota SVL75-2 skid steer to transport pallets of blocks, and workers meticulously place each block, using levels and mallets to ensure proper alignment and stability. They work in sections, adapting to the terrain and design.

Goal: Build the multi-tiered retaining wall using concrete blocks.
