How To Build A Landscape Timber Retaining Wall With Wood Beams

Building a landscape retaining wall using timbers is a large project. You'll need several materials, a few days, and some extra hands would really help. This video will show you the process of building a retaining wall in front of an existing wall to help hold back the hillside.
You'll Need:
I highly recommend purchasing 2 drill bits. You're very likely to break one or it will become too dull to continue using.

Beautifully done.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Thank you very much!

[@joemilton7552]

are you filling that with dirt?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

From the wood, it is rock, sand, then dirt.

[@chrisparker2818]

Any thoughts on sand under the base layer courses?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Sand before building any of the wall? That is good as long as you compact it so it won’t wash out on your build.
