PART 3: How to build a 2-tier retaining wall. #hardscape #retainingwall #howto

What happens here

Once the foundation for the upper tier is established, continue the construction by laying successive courses of retaining wall blocks. Behind each course, backfill with the clean, free-draining stone and strategically incorporate layers of geogrid to reinforce the soil behind the upper wall. This iterative process of laying blocks, backfilling, and placing geogrid is repeated until the desired height of the upper retaining wall tier is achieved.

Goal: Construct the upper retaining wall tier by layering blocks, backfill, and geogrid until the desired height is reached
