I wish I would have had your instructions when I started my walls. I did pretty well anyway and am proud they are all standing and of no problems. We do have the same block available in Australia but I have seen hollow walls on USA programs that I have not yet seen here, Allens blocks etc. they make good sense to me as well. Very good instructions!!

Cool video! But be advised, do not build a wall that raises the grade of soil so it covers the base of any tree unless you want the tree to die.

Thank you for the video! And for showing the viewers alternate solutions to cutting/splitting stones *without* the use of a stone-cutting saw. While all parts of the video were useful to me, these 2 suggestions were the most useful to me (my project is so small, purchasing or even renting a stone cutter would be wasteful on so many levels).

My house is a stilt house . The foundation is made from ironwood. There is a puddle under my house. Puddles arise from the rain. I want to close the gap under my house. What should I do? If I make a brick wall around the gap under my house, can the brick wall hold the ground in front of it? I plan on filling my entire home page with the ground to make my house yard become higher.

@@markjohnson8824 I’m building an 8 foot long wall that comes out from my house. It will be about 3 feet high. This is so I can have a patio under my rear deck. The ground slopes away from house sharply in the 8 feet. If I put the perforated tubing down alongside the outside of the wall does the water enter it from the top and just seep down into the rock below or is the bottom of the tubing solid (no holes) causing the water to enter the tube then run through the tube and out the end? If this is the case how can I place the end of this tube in my yard ? Can I just have it end below ground into a bed of rock that I then cover with dirt and grass? Thanks

I don't bury a row (waste of time and money), I dig down about 1 1/2" to 2" and lay in 1' of 1/4" minus gravel for leveling, lay out the first row leveling as you go, the next row is glued down with construction adhesive, yes each and every stone. When you use this method you never have to worry about settling, it all becomes one unit and is ridgid, I like to top it off with a matching capstone,and make two cuts on each stone so the backs line up perfect with about an 1" to 1 1/4" overhang..
@nanascandoit70747 жыл бұрын
when building my retaining wall I experienced the level front to back would be off when stacking each row. The base row was level side to side and back to back and set in trench properly with ledge pack and sand - when I would get to about row 3 the level front to back is off - the bubble is telling me to lift the rear of the stone. Is this typical for this type of project? I am setting the rear lip of the stone off the block underneath but, the level is not consistent?
@elyeli62507 жыл бұрын
if the blocks are hollow on the inside, dont use them, as they will fail over time. the constant freeze/thaw of the soil will cause the wall to fail and collapse. Use solid stones as shown in the video
@gjh426 жыл бұрын
Hollow blocks with no sand or soil inside will not fail because of freeze-thaw; they may fail because they are lighter and less resistant to sliding or tipping than heavier solid block. Correct base and drainage layer behind the wall, and sufficient batter of the wall face back into the slope, will keep the wall standing.
@gjh426 жыл бұрын
Tilting slightly back into the slope is part of what makes a dry-laid wall stable. Gravity keeps it falling backward against the retained soil, and the whole system will last longer. Manufactured block companies have to tell you to make the blocks totally level because that is the only way their products can turn corners or curves.

That depends on how much water you get, what the character of your drainage layer is, and how easily the water can drain away from the base of the wall. Also how much freezing you get in the winter, and how tall your wall is.

I have seen retaining walls of even less than 2' high failing, so a taller one if not built correctly could be dangerous. An engineer with stamped plans is overkill, but it is the easiest way for the city to ensure that retaining walls are safe. Of course that doesn't help competent builders do a job for modest cost.
