- How to build a retaining wall up hill - This customer's front yard had a small failing retaining wall and the grade was a steep slope. We built a taller retaining wall with Techo-Bloc semma and graded the slope. The wall has several step ups to match the grade.

My stepdad told me - If you want a flat yard, buy a home with a flat yard. One of the most expensive things you could ever do is have a yard leveled.
these type of things blow my mind. 200 years people wouldn't comprehend that we can just watch engineering like this while eating our donuts in the morning. Great work.
great, now i have to go out and buy donuts because you reminded me i haven't had any in a while

If everyone would do construction work like this in the US, there would be much less problems. Great work.
Thank you and I agree!
Let's face it, the 3 foot wall gives the yard the correct pitch away from the house. Great job guys and thanks for taking us through the steps involved
Thank you
Nice work gentlemen. It's hard to find skilled craftsmen in this day and age.
Thank you, I appreciate it
Beautiful job! Always nice watching competent professionals at work
Thank you
This show case wall will break after a few months or after rain
I feel like these yards are always difficult to landscape in a way that appeals to me, personally. But you guys did a solid, professional job as always, and it looks great.
Thank you

@@abhis568you keep saying that yet my hubby and brother did a crappy job quickly umm 10 years ago and it’s still standing but I’m getting ready to do adjournment and fixing so if it’s going to fall please explain how or 🤐
Shout out to who ever did the paving., this is a outstanding job all around..!!
I landscaped during the summers in college. It’s hard but very rewarding work! I always liked the before and after pictures of a week long job!
Nice work guys!
Thanks !
What a premium job. Amazing. Wish more folks like you are in the business all over the country.
Wow, Most helpful for me. I'm getting ready to do a wall myself and this was very educational to watch. You guys are masters of your trade!
Awesome! Thank you!
Man, we've done thousands of square feet of these block walls don't miss them at all..😂😂 That being said you guys did an excellent job...💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks I appreciate that! I've seen your some of your videos, its great content. Looks like you do a lot of large scale projects.
Best thing to ever happen to that house. Looks great.
I’m so glad the customers paid y’all to take the yard down a little it looks so much nicer. Hell of a job y’all did great job.
Thanks 👍
nice project! Always appreciate you explaining how you do these projects. Learning lots from you Sean
Awesome, thank you!
Nice looking retaining wall and the regrading was huge. Well done.
Beautiful work! Professional job!
🏆🏆🏆
PS - It would be great if the neighbor hired you to continue the wall on his side.
Thank you
Great work! I don't understand why that property is the only one with such a high front lawn.
Thank you, there's a few homes on the street with similar elevation. They think when the older homes were built the builder just piled the dirt up on the other empty lots.
I wondered the same thing!
If the developer way like my neighborhood’s developer, then it’s definitely the “extra fill” piles
Mud flood
That was the style back in the day when that home was built.
Very impressive workmanship that is a pleasure to watch from beginning to end. Your attention to detail makes the best and most beautiful wall for your customer.
Thank you, I really appreciate it
The house looks so much better and its a much better use of the space. Great job.
Thank you
totally blown away by the finished product. that's truly impressive. lots of hacks on youtube etc but this has all the marks of a really professional job.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Wow. Great job man. Came out really good. That homes value just went up ⬆️ 💴 thank for sharing your work man and in the process revealing some of your tricks. God bless you brother.
Hi. Its recommended to use geotextile sheet fabric to separe the gravel from the ground material. That guarantees a clean gravel all over the time.
Very nice job, but neighbor should have considered replacing those 6x6 wooden posts with a step down wall as it would have given their house a very clean / classy look compared to having that failing wooden structure.
Thank you, I agree, we tried to sell them on it but they declined.
the wood matches there brown colors and neutral tones of their house
1. Quality work fellas
2. Just added lots of value
3. Night and day diff
4. 4’ would have been an eyesore …. Retaining walls can be such a great addition as clearly shown here
Thank you
Yeah, the wood should go! I am suprised that the next door neighbor didn't join in on the project for a few dollars while they watched your magnificent engineering take place!
It's always a blessing to work on solid ground, like your Delaware River area. Down in New Orleans area, where the earth more fluid or isn't so solid, we usually pile down anchors at minumum a couple feet, especially on the ends and cornersand make sure everything stay put overthe years.
Love that wall and the re-grade of the yard!
great job! my only suggestion would be to use solid abs or schedule C perforated pipe which moves water much better an doesn't get crushed.
This
Very nice job. The only thing you missed was adding a drain cap on the pipe coming out from the wall to prevent debris and animals from entering the pipe. It also gives it a nice finished look.
Yeah... honestly, that drain pipe is the biggest fail in my opinion. Should have been further over to the corner, so as to drain onto the edge of the driveway and out into the street gutter.
Even better would be to run it under the sidewalk to the street.
When it rains all the water from that lawn is going straight out of that pipe. Who wants to walk across that sidewalk with a deluge of water pouring out of that drain? It's all going to end up pouring across the grass on the other side.
@@insertphrasehere15My thoughts exactly
@@insertphrasehere15*improvement opportunity 😂
Awesome quality work look fantastic!! Adds so much value to the property and street appeal.
Thank you! I agree it made a big difference.
how do you mow it though - what if you fall over the wall
@@nofurtherwest3474can put in mulch and decorative plants near the edge
@@nofurtherwest3474it's much easier to mow now. It's such a small area to mow, that a push mower wouldn't be a problem. So you really shouldn't be worried about falling off of it.
Absolutely an amazing job, I can't give you 5 stars because it would be unfair you deserve 100. Great work
Thank you!
The home has great curb appeal now; great work!
Thanks!
Beautiful work!
Nice work
Excellent craftsmanship
Art at its finest! Impressive job, guys.
Thank you!
Great looking outcome. Looks absolutely perfect. Good job
Thank you
I wonder how much a job like this costs, the work looks amazing!
The best part of your wonderful job, is how you come about an inch or so off of both of your inside corners of your top 2 cover stone on the each corner, total of 4, for a great miter cut. Love those miter cut top stones, looks sharp and complete the apparent look of the finished product. Great Job!
Cleanest construction site I’ve ever seen!
Amazing workmanship.
Wow! You guys did an excellent job! Impressive! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Looking good for the house and neighborhood 😊
Fantastic work! realy beautiful wall! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you very much!
incredibly impressive
quick work for just two people. heavy machinery, sure, but still a lot of precision effort here
very nice
Thank you 👍
Looks great. Only thing is the black corrugated pipe. PVC is more robust. But whatever I'm not the guy out here doing it. Thanks for the vid
Amazing work. Y’all make ease of some pretty difficult projects.
Beautiful neighborhood!.
Looks amazing great job guys!
Looks awesome, nice work guys. A City guy who has had to build many retaining walls mostly out of 6X6 beams with crew of two lol
Amazing transformation 👏🏽 well done. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing this video 💚🌿
Thank you! Will do!
Turned out awesome brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That's just beautiful. You even put French drain pipes in. Now neighbor needs the same built.
Thank you
Amazing, this wall will outstay this house for centuries.
Not likely.
This was cool man, thanks for sharing this. It’s something new and cool.

Nicely cleaned up that front area
This looks 100x better and now my landscaper brain is running wild with how they could design that space where the lawn used to be
Thank you
Really good job with the leveling looks really good.
Thank you
Outstanding job, it looks fantastic. 👍
Thank you
Just amazing !! I wish you could come to Des Moines and do this exact same project at our home !
Thanks!
Same!
Amazing job well done
Great video. What an amazing improvement for the property. I always wondered how retaining walls were laid...I was always under the assumption you'd have to tie it into the hillside somehow so the wall wouldn't heave and buckle...the barrier of wash stone and drain tile behind the wall must be the secret, in that it keeps it dry behind the wall to aid in frost prevention and or water-logged soil pushing against the wall? Back-breaking work you guys do...my friend is my age (45) and does this for a living...Idk how he still does it. My back slumped over all day lifting heavy block couldn't take it!
Looks great
that's amazing work. looks exceptional.
Thank you
Looks great. I will have to do it here in Georgia. But, they try to cheap and bet you down here.
Professional and great work!!
Thank you
I love how much positive criticism there is in the comments, provides a bunch of different options on how it could be done from people with I’d imagine vastly different experiences. Great video and well done :)
that wall looks amazing!
Thank you
That is so awesome looks great
Beautiful work
Thank you
Looks cool. Drain cloth over the drain pipe would help with potential clogging
Awesome! I don’t have or need a retaining wall, but I really want one just like this put in.😂
Thank you
Looks Great!
Wow that looks amazing, what a transformation
The value of that property just jumped by atleast 40k if sold on the market
Nice work man!
Dang, that is some clean work boys
