Curious to know the total cost of this project. We may need to construct a retaining wall at the beck edge of our yard, in Winston-Salem, that backs up to a flood zone, with known flooding over the past 50 years. Three times in 50 years the basement has ended up with up to a foot of water. The goal of a retaining wall, keep the water from flowing into our backyard, so it continues to move downstream, in-channel (of the creek). Going to guess we are looking at a 50 foot long wall. Probably does not have to be more than two feet high.
All that paperwork and work to build something to keep nature from doing what it wants. Looks like a challenging project but it always amazes me that you can dig next to and under a water level and it is dry. Around here the water level is the same everywhere. I look forward to seeing what Redi-Rock is. Great video although I do turn the volume down when the chipmunks start singing, LOL!
The cost of building that wall is almost the price of a home? With everything required to do just to be able to start building the wall. Interesting vid.
The footing is 10 yards of concrete. I over ordered a little bit and we ended up with 18" of concrete. The plans called for 12" minimum. Thanks for watching
