What happens here

After clearing the area, the team discusses the next steps for preparing the base of the new retaining wall. This involves leveling the ground and ensuring the correct pitch. They explain that the ground will be dug out, stone will be added, and then compacted. The blocks will then be laid with a slight lean back towards the retained earth to prevent them from pushing forward due to soil weight. The goal is to achieve a stable and level base that can withstand the forces of the retained soil.

Goal: Prepare a stable and correctly pitched base for the new retaining wall blocks.
