What happens here

With the drainage rock in place, the final step involves backfilling the remaining 4 to 6 inches of the trench with native topsoil. This topsoil layer allows for seamless integration of the retaining wall into the existing landscape. The soil is carefully spread and graded to ensure proper water runoff away from the wall and to prepare the area for planting grass, shrubs, or other landscaping elements, meeting the aesthetic and functional needs of the customer. The area is raked to create a smooth, finished appearance.

Goal: The remaining space behind the drainage layer is backfilled with native topsoil, and the area is graded to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, providing a suitable bed for future planting.

as a general rule of thumb we hold the drainage down about four to six inches below the top of the retaining wall and that last four to six inches gets filled up with Native soils that way if everything Blends back together and if the customer wants to grow green grass they can if they want to put plants in they can good [Music] thank you foreign [Music] so if a video like this helps you out you know what helps me out there's a comment a like or a share that goes a long way and you know what else I would love to hear from you guys is what kind of videos do you want to see down the road you want to see more how-to's like this more job site videos more product reviews trade shows or a mixture of all of them let me know in the comments below but that's it for this one God bless you guys go get them and I hope you enjoy your day foreign [Music]
