The #1 MOST SCREWED UP thing on RETAINING WALLS!

What happens here

The crew begins the process of rough grading the area behind the retaining wall using the skid steer. The operator maneuvers the machine to spread the existing soil, working it over the drainage rock to create a foundational layer for the final landscape. The presenter mentions that they are going to clear the remaining materials from the site using the dump trailer, indicating that the bulk of the backfilling is complete and the focus shifts to site cleanup and final preparation.

Tools and materials

  • Dump Trailer
  • Skid Steer (ASV RT-75)
