What happens here

The video highlights a critical technique: stepping down the retaining wall's base. This involves carefully setting new base blocks at a lower elevation as the wall follows the natural slope of the land. Each stepped-down block requires precise leveling and positioning using a measuring tape and level, similar to laying the initial course. The importance of getting this base elevation correct is emphasized.

Goal: Precisely step down the retaining wall's base to follow the terrain's slope.

Tools and materials

  • Level — Ensuring blocks are level at each step-down
  • Measuring Tape — Precisely measuring the step-down elevation
  • Retaining Wall Blocks — Constructing the wall steps
  • Rubber Mallet — Adjusting blocks for precise placement
  • Shovel — Adjusting the gravel base for new block levels
