Lay First Course of Retaining Wall Blocks

important point to differentiate so when you heard sam say we're at a half when we have a taller retaining wall that we fortify with grid we have all these layers of grid and you'll see some grid going in here pretty soon and the grid itself is only about that thick right but when you have seven layers of grid that thick two three four five six seven you can see where now it'll squish down but we always try to compensate for the base of the wall we don't go you know straight you know lev or dead level with them if we know we're going to be putting a lot of grit on the backside and we never run the grid through the face because that's tacky we want to run the grid up close to the face but never through the face and i've seen wall companies that do it through the face and i don't know that's not for me um but so we always compensate with the bubble so we don't go dead level if we've got a lot of grit on it we won't go aggressive like this but you can see if we're kicking you know building the wall we'll compensate for that grip and there's the second drain tile system going in so this has two one you can see down in the lower left corner i believe sticking out and that gets daylighted down to about ah we had to find a spot down the road to go daylight that so that's just sucking up parking lot water and then the the drain tile that's in the wall sucks up the actually should never see that drain tile work to be quite honest with you let me just explain that real quick
