Stacking a retaining wall by myself

In this video, I am building a Tasman block retaining wall roughly around 50 m long for courses high in this video. Show you how to build a retaining wall how to stack a retaining wall and how to backfill a retaining wall.

Good job mate. Sounds like you under quoted, bet you wont make that mistake again. I'm doing the exact same wall, but solid blocks, two tiers. My blocks weigh 32 kg. Your not wrong about abusing your back. I'm 67 by the way.

can you go into more detail on what you did for the base?

[@justdaniel4761]

Compacted road base footing. Compacting in layers going up

[@michaeladams2077]

That looks like a footing not compacted base rock. Cmon man

[@Joe-sg9ll]

how accurate was your 5.5ton agg estimate? was there extra or if youre under whaddya do

[@Joe-sg9ll]

mad respect for the work involved though! my projects a little smaller and has taken me much longer

[@justdaniel4761]

Was pretty spot on mate. Was used for core filling and backfilling none extra better to over order the aggregate a bit for more drainage anyway. Thanks for the comment

[@TippingPoint4Globe]

How does those blocks stay without concrete mix in between them? those look jigsaw puzzle to me!🤷

[@justdaniel4761]

They have interlocking tabs, and when you have them over each other and fill them with aggregate, they are basically reinforced and cannot move. Thanks for the comment

[@yousafkhan7622]

Bro, for load bearing structure house construction which block to be use! solid block or hollow?

[@justdaniel4761]

Comes hollow and corefill with concrete. Thanks for the message
