  • Today we talk walk through a complete build of a two tier retaining wall from start to finish. This includes setting the grade for the base preparation, using non-woven geotextile, compaction of the base material, setting the initial course of the wall, building it up, installing drainage pipe, and the final installation of the caps on top of everything else.

    Awesome work! Question on the drainage if you don’t mind. At which layer or “ of the bedding material is the drainage pipe inserted?
    - 6-8” of 3/4” clear stone
    - 1-2” of HPB
    - 6” of first wall block

      We have the outlet drain at the second course of the wall so the bottom of the pipe is about the top of the 6” buried course. Then we have a 1/4” per foot slope on it to the other end of the wall.
      If we were on dense clay, we probably would have either gone dense grade and done the same thing or had an outlet trench and the pipe buried in the base to collect that water and run it into that outlet trench.

    Looked pretty good on the mini, video was to fast to really see. With the machines its just time in the saddle, just keep using em and youll pick up more tricks and techniques as you go.
    I guess one thing to mention, if you have access to a flat bucket it can come in handy to fine tune the sub grade after the bulk of the digging has been done with the tooth bucket.
    Either way love your base prep with the fabric and everything, so clean, so nice.

      Appreciate that! Definitely a flat bucket would come in handy

    My question is does this count as 1 height or 2 seperate heights. In my area anything over 4 ft needs building permit. If i make two 3 foot walls will it count as 6 feet or two 3 ft retaining walls might be stupid question

    • @iamahardscaper
      @iamahardscaper  3 місяці тому

      All depends on your area and could have to do with the distance between the two walls in relation to the height of the walls. Not a stupid question

      depends where you are located and the contractor. for us this would not be less than $25,000

    Just what I needed. I am about to start a 2 teir wall, both 1.5 feet tall. Will have a 5 foot distance between the two walls. Both walls will be about 40 feet long. Would like to see your uncut version but the link does not work.

    Damn dude, do you not have any employees? The first thing I did when I started 10 years ago was to get at least one guy to push the heavy loads while I was operating the machine and doing the fine measurements

    Looked like a fun job!! Even though you tamped the 3/4", doesn't the HPB migrate or sink into the 3/4" over time or does the 3/4" act like a large version of HPB since it's angular?
    As for tips with the back hoe, don't be a hog, let someone else have a turn 😅

      No, the HPB won’t sink into the voids of the 3/4”. It’s not small enough for that
