Rebuilding Retaining walls-Start to Finish

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After the initial grading, hand-place smaller stones to fill in any remaining gaps or voids within the boulder walls. This step is crucial for refining the wall's appearance and ensuring stability. The presenter emphasizes that the current state is merely initial grading; future phases will involve addressing water flow issues, adding organic material to planting areas, and contouring the backfill to direct water away from the walls.

Goal: Refine the boulder walls with smaller stones and outline the next phases of landscaping and drainage.

Tools and materials

  • Shovel N/A — Adjusting small stones and dirt by hand
  • Skid Steer Loader Case ASV RT-75 — Assisting with moving and placing smaller stones, and for subsequent grading
  • Small Stones N/A — Filling gaps and refining the wall's appearance
  • Organic Material N/A — Filling joint spaces for planting

all right you guys the next phase is to finish the grade we've got everything cleaned up now i don't have any obstructions most of the wall is built i've got one extra stone left over right here that i plan on moving and getting out of the way but now let's get all the contours to blend the idea with this tree thing right here is i don't like that whole ring around the tree of boulders i just don't think it looks right so i created a little walkway between the two and now i'll blend and make that flow down so it's almost like its own little island that's just an artistic touch who knows if it'll turn out or not let's pop you guys up on the top and let's get to grading and just see what [Music] happens so this is just the initial grading which does not address any of the problems with water around the site the entire site has a lot of issues that still need to be corrected but by doing this initial grading in my work zone it allows me to get a better perspective of what the potential finished product on this retaining wall will look like good bad and in between it just helps me to clear things up so i can see what i've got to do in the next phases of this landscaping project [Music] all of these retaining walls are far from finished they still have to be towed in then all of the joint spaces where i plan on putting plants have to be filled in with organic material so that everything balances out plus the backfill on these retaining walls all has to be evened out and re-contoured to direct water away from the retaining walls
