What happens here

The presenter discusses the pros and cons of using large hardscaping blocks, exemplified by the Redi-Rock system. While these large blocks are expensive and have limited color options, they offer significant advantages in terms of speed and efficiency. They can be picked up with an excavator or skid steer and dropped into place, allowing for up to six square feet of wall to be laid at a time with minimal manual labor. This is particularly beneficial given current labor shortages in the industry.

Goal: Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of using large hardscaping blocks for efficiency.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator/Skid Steer — Lifting and placing large blocks
  • Redi-Rock Blocks Redi-Rock — Constructing large retaining walls
