What happens here

Next, the team focuses on preparing the area for the retaining wall. This involves excavating a trench at the base of the slope using a mini excavator. Workers use shovels to clean the trench bottom and ensure it is level. Geogrid material, a high-strength polymer fabric, is laid out and secured to provide reinforcement and stability for the retaining wall blocks.

Goal: Prepare a stable base and reinforce the slope for the retaining wall.
