Installing the Base Course of the New Retaining Wall

What happens here

After the ground has been meticulously prepared and compacted, the crew begins laying the first course of new retaining wall blocks. Each block is carefully placed directly onto the leveled and compacted gravel base. Workers use levels to ensure that every block in this initial course is perfectly horizontal and accurately aligned with the pre-set string lines. This precision is vital as the first course establishes the foundation and dictates the overall stability and appearance of the entire retaining wall.

Goal: Establish a perfectly level and aligned first course for the new retaining wall.
