This wall was only five months old 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

What happens here

Heavy machinery is actively engaged in excavating the soil, moving it away from the pond's edge. Simultaneously, the previously removed retaining wall blocks are being carefully collected and stacked in an organized manner. This salvage operation indicates that these blocks will be reused in the construction of the new wall, making the project more cost-effective and sustainable. The excavation prepares the site for the laying of the new wall's foundation components, such as a gravel base, drainage, and geotextile fabric, which are essential for long-term stability.

Goal: Excavate the necessary soil and salvage materials for the new retaining wall construction.

Tools and materials

  • Heavy Machinery — Excavating soil and moving salvaged blocks
  • Retaining Wall Blocks — Materials to be reused in the new wall construction
