What happens here
The video begins with the creator explaining the project's necessity: a client wants a flat area for a swimming pool and patio in a backyard with a significant slope. To achieve this, a stepped retaining wall design is proposed, which is described as being more structurally sound than a single, tall straight wall. This conceptual overview, illustrated with a Tablet and an Apple Pencil, sets the stage for the practical steps to follow.
Goal: Comprehend the design rationale for a stepped retaining wall.
