Install First Base Course

What happens here

Begin by installing the first base course of retaining wall blocks. The video assumes that the underlying compacted subgrade stone has already been leveled to a 'laser straight' standard, with no dips or high places. Now, place the actual retaining wall blocks on top of this prepared foundation, ensuring that each block is perfectly level and the entire course forms a straight line. This meticulous leveling creates a solid and uniform base for the entire retaining wall.

Goal: Create a level and straight foundation for the retaining wall using the first course of blocks.
