What happens here
Large boulders are carefully placed to form the retaining wall. A Bobcat E325 excavator is used to lift and set each boulder. The process often involves significant manipulation and adjustment to achieve a tight, stable fit. Two workers assist, guiding the excavator operator and making minor manual adjustments to position the boulders effectively, sometimes requiring them to be 'smashed' into place for better contact. Geo-textile fabric is laid between layers to enhance stability and drainage.
Goal: Build a stable and aesthetically pleasing boulder retaining wall.
