What happens here

The video provides various close-up and time-lapse shots illustrating the precision required in setting the retaining wall blocks. Workers are seen using shovels to fine-tune the gravel base beneath blocks, employing levels for accuracy, and carefully placing each block. The process emphasizes the critical role of manual labor in achieving a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing finish, even with heavy machinery handling the bulk work. The layering of geogrid is also evident.

Goal: Ensure accurate and level placement of each retaining wall block.
