An old guy told me this once…. All retaining walls eventually fail. Give it a fighting chance by adding a drainage pipe behind it.
Our neighborhood in downtown Raleigh, NC, has a lot of them and quite a few have already bowed or buckled somehow someway. I know because I’ve lived in the same neighborhood for 68 years. They are small ones, so I guess if the small ones do that, well…….
Unless it's made by the Japanese.
Looks great! Repeat about drainage pipes behind walls.
I'd say: look at how the Portuguese does it. There are a lot of old properties with terraces in their hills and mountains that have withstood the test of time. Granted, there might be a difference in the amount of rain compared to the us, but they got this figured out.
The key to any retaining wall is the drainage behind the wall. Drainage pipes, Gravel, etc. Good luck.
First course should be over excavated to create a key way for the boulders placed 2 to 3 feet below the finish grade to prevent future catastrophic sloughing. Consider drain lines behind wall to relieve hydrostatic pressure.
Cats. When you get a mouse or something else which is part of her food then they share it to say thank you. Remember that. I had so many cats in my life. Got them from the shelter or mother nature, gave them food and a place to sleep and warm up, gave them unconditional love and they all always brought me parts of her food like mouses or birds. They were always part of my thought of a family.
The wall is looking good, sure wish the videos came twice a week and were longer like they were in the past.
You know thats the same as saying: «Work twice as hard, and do more!» right?
You are doing quite well with the creation of the rock wall. It's got to be a bit difficult being Michelangelo painting the roof of the Sistine Chapel and having the monks telling you what would be better. 👍👍👍
The dead animals in your excavator are definitely gifts. Cats do regularly bring gifts of one sort or another to their favourite people, particularly if they see the person going out of their way to do something for them.
Your wall looks great.
RPR quote winner of the day..'I have some of the most amazing boulders you have ever seen'.....amen
So far it looks great
A+ Civil Work looks really good 1 inch crunched for a topper compacted
One of the best things I have seen you do on this property. Maple Mountain Ranch terraced part of his land for an orchard earlier.
Wow the wall looks so nice ! Good Job 👍
You are a super hard worker!!!
The retaining wall is looking good. Heath.
Nice wall folks! With Aloha...
Dang Heath! Yeah them’s some big boulders!
You may have mentioned... What are the plans for the drive, now that boulders are used for the walls? I thought initially that the huge boulders in front of the fence was for fence safety during snow plow season. During "cattle breakout" the boulders seemed to deter running along fences.
Having those steps near the house entrance seemed logical... Two sets of stairs is even more useful. Really. Liike the improvements. When the run off was being redirected, I thought "perfect place for a dry creek bed" ... Maybe a small pond with a solar pump to listen to while sitting on the front porch... Just thinking.
Boulders wall look so nice!
It looks fantastic Heath! Great job, as usual. Big hugs to the family from Canada eh?
Wall looks great
Congratulations! That terrace looks fantastic! Oh, and did I notice an artistic touch in the placement of your camera in the first half of your video? Well done!
if you wash those rocks off with the pressure washer they will look beautiful! great job btw...
Great nesting area for snakes!
i miss the two videos a week ❤
It's really taking shape now , looks awesome !!!!!! Looks amazing !!!!!👍
My man has carved himself out a slice of paradise 👍🏻💪🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
The wall looks great
That retaining wall looks GREAT.
The wall looks really good. Amazing you could use that machine to stack them so well.
ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!! The water will not be a problem:) you guys will be fine;) I absolutely love how this is coming along. My favorite neighbors ever!!
Retaining Rock wall looking good.
This wall looks excellent. Good work!! - Greetings from Czech Republic (Europe), Jaroslav
You are doing an excellent job on the wall.
You might have to rent/buy a bigger excavator!! The baby kittens❤️❤️❤️. Yes, our cats show off and gift us with their catches!!
Yeah, you’ll definitely be rebuilding that wall next spring no drain rock behind it it’ll be like your roof that you rebuilt because you didn’t pitch it properly but you’ll see 100% you’ll see
Looking good remember that ground is going to settle so those rocks in the back are going to drop down if you don't have them supported!
It’s looking real good Heath, glad to see Ruby is on the mend. Can’t wait to see the Terrace finished as I am sure you are in the same boat.😊
I only concern is the hill don't slide down with all the digging.
the idea with the Rock trailer...rocks...!
I have waited so long to see this project happen and you do not disappoint! Wonderful work.
A terrace of fruit trees and companion planting? It's looking wonderful, the size of some of those boulders! Kittens and humming birds, puppy play and antlers. You packed it in this week and I feel spoiled...🙃
Now that is a well-done, well worth it project! If I had five thumbs, I would give you five thumbs. However, as I don't, it will have to be emojis! 👍👍👍👍👍 Wonderful to see your lovely bride and the hummingbirds at the feeder! Blessings on you all and on your homestead and all of your endeavors!🕊📚🦉🐈⬛🖖🫖🏕🥧
Man you're really putting that trailer to the test aren't you?
Really does do the job though.
It's like a rolling grizzly.
😂 Rolling grizzly, that’s the perfect name.
What a wonderful start ,it looks really remarkable. Very well done, and you were quite right to start it again though it must have been disappointing with such massive weight and sizes to be manipulated.
The wall is looking really good! The levels will be beautiful!
the rock trailer is the MVP ^^
That stacked Glacial till looks awesome
The first tier rock wall looks great…your property really has some huge boulders !
The boulders look great!
that wall is looking really good!
The rock wall is looking good.
Can't wait to see next week's video
Re-line the driveway in my opinion, saw you grabbing rocks from there! Great work enjoying Red Poppy!!
The wall is looking great! Can’t wait till you have time to remove the tin from the bottom of the house walls and install the stone veneer. That’s going to complement the retaining wall so much. Can’t wait.
Hey Heath and Cedar, this is so amazing and l wouldn’t have thought of something like this. Thanks so much for sharing! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Finally that project so talked about, you wanted to do is done, I bet it looks great.
The trailer did a wonderful job carrying those big boulders.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
The wall looks great!
I think you should double down and do another terrace plus some drainage with a pipe and gravel on the back of each terrace - then you really won't have to mess with it again - you have the equipment and it won't take you too long, add some granite steps and wildflowers and you will have a lot more space in the back yard plus good security against flooding - easy digging - you should consider adding on and then getting back to back 40 road and construction. It looks good but may not be enough - the grade on the terace(s) is critical to get outcome you want and another step terrace will be added insurance and give you more space for patio/firepit/gardens.pergola etc
Retainer Wall is looking great, gonna be nice when all the terraces are done ✅! After that will be a great time to get that greenhouse built for sustainable food longer months of the year. 😉👍
I've been waiting a long time to see this project, and it is looking really good!
It's beautiful you're so blessed to have those wonderful rocks with means to move them
I really enjoyed this episode. I've been waiting, as have you and everyone who watches you, for this retaining wall and just watching you get er done is really satisfying.
You need to make a RPR hat with a skid steer doing a wheeley in a sunset.
Beautiful.
The retaining wall looks great! It'll make a sweet gardening area, you'll be able to plant ground cover veggies as well. Those boulders are massive, I'm surprised there wasn't any ground shrinkage...😂😅 Love ya'll ❤️
Thanks for the video Heath.
The first terrace is looking very good. It was actually a good idea to tear it down and redo it.
You should jokingly tell Cedar that you want park a couple of newly found project trucks up there
What would look really nice .
Would be alpine rock plants , planted in the gaps in the boulders .
Probably help tie it together once they are established.
How did you know I needed another key for my daughter’s car. Idaho mind readers y’all are! Happy Memorial Day Red Poppy Ranch family. I hope we all can take a moment and pray and give thanks to the men and women that have sacrificed their life so that we can live ours in peace!
That retaining wall is a thing of beauty. You are very patient and creative. Well done. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic job. I look forward to your videos every week. The way you stacked those boulders looks amazing and what a fantastic place to put a vegetable garden in. Keep up the good work. - John
That would be a great place for a veggie garden.💗💗💗love the wall!!
Thanks for the efforts!
Wow, the retaining wall looks great, good job Heath ❤
Thanks again for your time making the video watching from Reno NV
The wall looks really good. Well done. Not easy thing to visualize and do.
Thank you for your service
Yep. While you still have a chance, I'd consider putting a world class drainage system behind that first wall. And then behind each wall as you go up from there.
He won’t and do it a quick way so he can do it two more times and still get it wrong. Arrogance and impatience
Look at all those Dandelions. Cedar should be making jelly out of them. Looks like two dozen 1/2 pints to me.
They make great gifts too
JudithB That is going to look so nice and keep the hill out of your house!!! We have huge rocks under the cliff and some just under the soil in the yard that keep the yard and houses on top of the cliff. I have used some smaller boulders in my flower beds, and a lot of flag stone for walkways and patios. Smaller stuff fills holes in the driveways, so moving and re using rock stuff is the name of the game here!! LOL!!
HEY! Hello Red Poppy! Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everybody!
Warning: long winded commnet alert😂!! It's been my YEARS of watching & pretty much staying quiet to myself that have lead us up to the ultimate culmination of comments that I'm gonna drop on EVERY one of these boulder wall videos!! It's looking FANTASTIC!! and... I mean FANTASTIC!! Great job re-working them Bud. Can't wait to see more & more. Now, here's just my 2 cents on vegetation when the time comes. Pacific Blue & Pacific Golden Junipers. I LOVE them. Also I was in a Band of Brothers & Masters of The Air Binge & clicked off of them sooooo fast to watch this video. Blessings for your Memorial Day weekend, Dirty Jersey out!!
When you’re done, it might be a good idea to plant some native plants to help keep the erosion down
Kittens! The humming birds are just a delight. Gratz on finally getting to that retaining wall. Lots more to be done but wow you put a BIG dent it in it. And had too much fun with the excavator weeeeee xD . And Ruby's recovery is a great piece of news! We here at home wish you a happy Memorial Day.
Great job mate , i think those bucket pins and bushes need some attention. Sooner rather than later before damage makes it a major repair .love your work , would love to do the same .
It's already worn past the bushings and pins by the looks of how loose everything is. Shoving heavy boulders sideways with the bucket is making the final days come sooner. At least that excavator has given its life in a good cause. The wall looks pretty good.

Hard work there. 😮❤
Looks GREAT!!!
So cool to see what your guys property has become over the last probably 7 years ive watched. I will never ever take your consistent upload schedule for granted!
If ever I saw a Bobcat commercial. 🤣🤣
Looking Good❕❕
Looks good. The natural stairs are such a great idea.
Are you planning on doing a drainage system as well?
That’s a good cat.
Yup need drainage!
That wall looks fantastic !! I can't wait to see it all done !!! Stay Safe & Regards to Your Family !!!
Looks beautiful!!
It's looking very pretty so far!👍😃
MY FAVORITE IDAHO OFF GRID UA-cam FAMILY!!! 😁👍
