Building Stone Retaining Wall

- In this video I show you how I built a retaining wall of stones.For the garden wall I used natural stones, the wall stones I got me in a quarry. In this video I show you how you can build a wall for your garden, how the concrete is mixed and what there is to consider.

Bravo majstore.Prelijep rad.Pozdrav iz Bosne.
Firstly the positives. Well cut stone with nice facing. Correctly laid flat and a semi dry mortar mix which avoids ugly cement residue on the face. Plenty of rubble at the back to give bulk and aid drainage. Therefore the wall is incredibly strong. From a visual point of view it would be better if the stones overlapped to avoid straight joints and certainly this would be essential if the wall was high but In this case the sheer bulk of the structure will ensure it lasts for as long as the owner wants. In fact there is no need for mortar at all when you lay stones like this. In due course the whole thing will be covered in lichens and moss and perhaps overhanging shrubs and the wall will do what its is intended for. and the overnight armchair stone masons will be lost for stones. The 5 to 1 mix is good for most stonework but it is easier to use with a plasticiser additive. At a push a little washing up liquid in the water will suffice. When they built the Charles bridge in Prague, the artisans used egg white in the mix. Thank you for posting this video and for giving up the time to share your experiences,.
As we say here in Egypt 🇪🇬
May God bless you and your hands 👐.
Salute from Egypt 🇪🇬 with love and respect.
Sand + cement==mortar. You need an aggregate (e.g. gravel) to make concrete. Thanks for the video. That's a lot of hard work!
👍👍👍👍
HARCIN KURU.......SAĞLAM DUVAR OLMAZ...
In addition to the other mistakes pointed out by others, you didn't move your string up with each course. This must be done to keep each course level and plumb.
I appears you back filled behind the wall before the cement was even dry.
I didn't see any water drainage behind or through the wall. With that hill behind it, you will likely have trouble.
How not to build it like this.. Straight joints everywhere not tied in by any stone just balancing there.. Bad work..
Красиво!
I hate straight joints in a stone wall..
its going to fail
the wall has been up for three years now. but maybe it will collapse in 200 years, who knows...
You don’t seem to be interested in constructive feedback or criticism. Was this a tutorial?
Supper 👍👋
А раствор густой делаешь наверное для того чтобы было больше пустот и микро пор , соответственно проникновение влаги с последующем разрушением самой кладки.
that concrete is useless without more water in it....as someone stated here...some aditive in the mortar and more water so it bonds and sticks to the stones.....
No, that's not true, you should use semi-dry concrete here. The stones are moistened beforehand so that they no longer withdraw water from the concrete.
First of all, Good effort brother...but thats kinda bad job, 1. the concrete and sand mixture shouldn't be as dry as that, its ok if your place doesn't rain because that will be wash out. 2. the vertical joints shouldn't be like that, it should be like stacking hallow blocks or bricks for more strength and better looks.
What was your cement to sand ratio?
He says 5:1 in the video
@@quandt4847 He said 3:1.
Your joints are not staggered, the vertical joints are too close, the wall has no strength.
The strength results from the filling stones behind it
@@greyelementprojects7403 yes stone rubble backfill and drainage is important, I live in northern frost climate and vertical joints will never hold the test of time.
Not enough water
Dig and get it bro
I don't want to be rude but your building it wrong. Stones have to overlap each other so mortal dont come in straight line the above with the upper one
It’s come up a hundred bucks…
wrong ...
I’m not being rude but this looks a mess
