Nice team work. Good to see proper compaction, something that is often overlooked on other KZbin channels.I like the block. Job looks perfect.

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

Thanks. I agree proper compaction and backfill is the most important step..

Excellent Job. What is the song used in the vid? @@outdoorimpressionsmi

[@mrmudslide5676]

I cant believe you played that mind numbing music for 16 minutes. But I got the migraine to prove it. Great work and otherwise a nice vid.

Well-built retaining wall excellent job & hard workers

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

Thanks. We are happy with how it turned out.

[@tomthompson7400]

super smart job

[@ColeSpolaric]

Great video, but don't use the same music on loop the whole time. I found myself wanting to fall asleep like every other video that has done the same thing

[@ericgoss406]

Well thought out material staging: there was a minimum of unnecessary movements of the gravel and blocks. The finished product turned out very nicely.

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

Thanks. We had a good wide open site to work with.

[@kamgatombou2795]

Great job

lovely job

Nice.

[@joes5096]

Its better than most walls but the smooth faces not a real big fan of as there is no locking mechanism but the smooth faces is the only thing that allows the vacuum to work. 1800 lbs / 14 psi equates to about 130 sqin of suction surface. Redi-Rock has a better interlocking profile for rated height IMO but needs a mechanical hook lift.

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

Only the top and back have smooth surfaces. The face isn’t smooth. The face of these blocks are much more realistic in comparison to Redi rock. Also these have a locking cleat on the back of the block.

[@dirtherderaz4455]

Looks killer! Is there code in your area for having an immediate step down from an exterior door?

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

There will be a poured concrete transition for the door to the steps

What brand of blocks? Who makes the lifting device?

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

The blocks are high format grand ledge blocks they are made in Charlevoix Michigan. The lift is the mquip arch back mini

[@ewokstarwars8425]

Ich hätte die blockstufen an der Eingangstür in Beton gesetz aber sonst alles richtig 👍👍👍👍👍

[@outdoorimpressionsmi]

[@ewokstarwars8425]
