How much is concrete were you are located? Its about $126.00 a yard in upstate ny
Sorry if I missed it in your video but how are you handling all the run off from water?
I just finished doing a similar retaining wall but using the Angelus blocks, I’m trying to add a wall cap for the Angelus block but I can’t seem to find any for them, wondering how much those wall caps cost?
How high can you build a retaining wall with that type of block? Looking forward to the rest of the vids on this project. Thanks.
Mini x you would have been on the next job
I use mid-state Kabuta the machine will pay for its self
Full send bro never lift stay humble always 😏🤙
your son cant lose ,old man to fallback on ,gives him confidence ,fed up saying it great work lads ,enjoy
I'm going to replace an existing railroad tie retaining wall with similar blocks.. Should I use the concrete base similar to how you did it or do the usual 3/4in pebble rock base?
Hey David, your link to Part 2 in your description links to this video, Part 1.
The sheer amount of tonnage you had to bring in by hand amazes me!
Great job as always!!
🇧🇷
I can watch this channel all day!
I don't understand people who replace a nice big grass lawn with concrete.
With the brick you removed wouldn’t it be easier to use it as hardcore, it seems that you just throw it in a land fill. Over here in the UK they crush it up and use it as hardcore before you put the concrete. Instead you bring new stone clippings in. It’s just a thought
Hey you should post more Demo videos really enjoy watching those
That concrete removed could have used to fill some gabions as fence, wall, etc..
Great video. Thanks
How many inches of dry concrete do you use as your base? If I go 36” high can I do same without adding gravel for base material
Been watching you guys for years and didn’t realize your office is located in Fountain Valley, CA! I live in Covina, CA! Thank you for sharing your craft with us. I’m looking to build a raised planter w/cap for the occasional seating but don’t want to pour a concrete footing (one man show). I was planning on using CMU (8x8x16) due to low cost. Do you recommend using this dry patch method with CMU or does it only work on material with more surface area? Is there a min/max depth of the dry patch? How much water do you apply to the dry patch? Is Blue Hawk the only manufacture or does Quikrete make a product? Which do you recommend? Do you have a video on this dry patch method? Thank you in advanced!
Love your videos! Noob here DIYer – can you show how to set up a laser level? At the start of the video you said you wanted to grade to 1” below the door so I was wondering how you set that up and manage throughout the grading work.
I'm doing this for my front yard. By hand this is brutal work but I'll be happy when it's done.

Looks great! What material did u use ? As in dry concrete? And also what kind of stackable blocks & Caps are those? Would love to do ny backyard same way thanks !
Do these kind of retaining walls at this height require drainage pipes?
Very well done! how much deep trench should be and why you did not use crushed stone gravel instead of concrete mix? Thank you
What is that instrumental called? It plays in the video where you are on the mini skid steer
