What happens here

Continue building the upper sections of the retaining walls. This involves meticulously laying each block, ensuring it's level and properly interlocked with the previous course. As the walls rise, backfill the area behind them with gravel for drainage and stability. Utilize a Bobcat mini excavator to carefully place gravel behind the walls without damaging the blocks. The final course of blocks creates a tiered effect leading up to the house. Workers use small rakes and shovels to fine-tune gravel placement.

Goal: Construct the tiered retaining walls and backfill with gravel for proper drainage.
