What happens here

After the first course of blocks is securely in place, roll out the geogrid behind the blocks. The geogrid is a polymer material that provides tensile strength to the soil, enhancing the wall's stability. Extend the geogrid several feet into the backfill area, then cover it with soil or additional gravel. Use a skid steer to place the backfill material and compact it with a plate compactor.

Goal: Reinforce the wall structure and prepare for subsequent layers.

Tools and materials

  • Geogrid — Soil reinforcement and structural stability of the retaining wall
  • Plate Compactor Wacker Neuson — Compacting the backfill to ensure density
  • Retaining Wall Blocks — The base layer for geogrid placement
  • Skid Steer ASV VT-70 — Moving and spreading backfill material
  • Soil/Gravel — Backfilling behind the wall and over the geogrid
