What happens here
Continuing his observation, the speaker points out the construction of a retaining wall along the perimeter of the backyard. He explains that this retaining wall is being built to address a significant grade difference, estimated to be between two and a half to three feet, across the property. Workers are visible in the background, seemingly involved in the setup and construction of this wall, with tools like shovels, a compactor, and a tripod level visible nearby, along with pallets of retaining wall blocks and gravel.
Goal: Understand the purpose and scale of the retaining wall being built.
Tools and materials
- Compactor — Compacting the base material for the retaining wall
- Shovel — Earthwork and material movement by workers
- Tripod level — Establishing accurate grades and elevations for the retaining wall
