What happens here
Carefully lay the first course of retaining wall blocks directly onto the compacted gravel base. Use a spirit level to ensure each block is perfectly level, both front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust blocks as needed with a rubber mallet. This initial course is paramount, as any irregularities will be magnified in subsequent layers and compromise the wall's structural integrity.
Goal: Install the foundational layer of blocks, ensuring perfect level and alignment.
