    This was done just as good as any professional.
    Was a Mason for 20 plus years ,split face block were just becoming popular in 90's. They are some heavy block.
    I probably would hv buried regular 12" block then put my split face on top. Just would hv added stone behind wall about 12" worth.
    Nd used a transit to shot level lines. But I'm a guy that did this in 80's,90's.
    So gotta say I'm damn proud of this job you have done here. Nothing wrong with working by yourself, I actually prefer it.
    Wish I could still do these jobs,my son does most of this now I'm just along for advise, he's 30. Used to take him with me when he was a youngen.
    Believe me 40 years goes by ,nd one day you'll see that wall nd its still gonna be there just as you left it ,nd all those moments will come back .
    It's a great feeling ,wishing you much more successful endeavors.
    God bless..

      Hello, I ordered them online from Lowes.com (Item #1045003 Model #LWGB). You will probably need the top caps as well. (Item #1045004 Model #UCGB). Good luck on your project! Thanks, Josh

    We are a Geo-Technical/Structural/Civil engineering firm who design and inspects 100s of large segmental block walls. Your technique and attention to detail is 5/5. What I would mention to help other people is that in addition to all the work you did very well, any time you get to approximately 3' in height, geo-grid should be incorporated into the build. After the first two blocks, begin the geo-grid layers (using one foot horizontally for every foot vertically. A six foot wall requires a 6' horizontal layer of grid which sandwiches between the blocks. This is pulled tight and landscape staples pinned down. The 8" layer of dry, compactable soil is spread on the grid and compacted. Rent a Wacker packer from home depot and compact uniformly starting next to the block behind the 12" of #57 stone drainage field you installed. Compact in parallel to the wall working away from the wall. On a large retaining wall, rent a 'sheeps foot' walk behind compactor. The fill soil must NOT be topsoil or organic soil (which absorbs and holds water). The earth must be dry. Wet soil will not compact. The mostly clay, sandy (not pure sand), weathered rock soils work best (remove rocks larger than gravel and any roots or twigs). You add another layer of geo-grid fabric every two blocks as you go up. If you are wanting to plant grass or shrubs, the top 8"to 12" of soil can be a top soil for planting. As I see in your video, you must plan for drainage to keep water from saturating the built wall. You can also fill with #57 stone gravel but that is ridiculously expensive, good compactable soil is much less.
    If you compacted the soil well and your drainage pipe (mounted at the lowest point) drains the water away from the wall your build should last a long time. I want to emphasize the huge amount of hard labor you did to create this wall. These are normally built by several men. Strength and stamina are required to build these walls (where the blocks weigh approximately 75 pounds each), plus the digging, plus moving gravel and earth. Having completed this by yourself means you, Sir, are a machine! Congrats.

    One in spirit my man. I put in a fence and busted out a bunch of old heaved concrete walk and thought neighbors thought I was nuts too doing it all by myself and by hand. I learned from you it's probably worth renting some equipment and paying for delivery though sometimes. Thanks for filming and posting this!

    Half way into laying my brick patio / retaining walls. Was having some issues finding anyone to even come out and give me a price so I started it myself. Videos like inspire me to keep goin. I'm about 15 tons of materials moved by hand in only rented a jack hammer to remove 200 square feet of old cracked and sunk concrete. This guy is the MAN! Well done sir!

    Did all my garden walls in my garden with a similar system. Once the base and the 1st row is level, its really easy to build, oh and I used 5 pallet loads of blocks which were solid, no holes like yours and had no previous experience. That was 9 years ago and it still looks as good as the day I did it. Really good job and a lovely finish will last for years and you won't have to ever repoint it. 🤗

    I installed those same blocks at my backyard.
    6 rows high.
    I did a few things different because I have a hill above my blocks where water flowed to my property that I had to divert the water to the front of my house through French drain pipes.
    Lots of work.
    I used concrete for my base and added concrete between each v and each hole in the blocks for the first 3 rows.
    And added concrete between each block to lock the blocks together to prevent movement.
    All the bags of concrete I kept dry so I can work efficiently and keep stacking.
    I would add gravel in the back side with gravel in 80% of each hole so I didn’t have to use so much concrete.
    The bumps under the rocks I would slide them on the top of the wall to break off the access.
    On my blocks I broke the bottom lip because my blocks where different depths some even 2 inch’s different so my wall would not sit straight.
    That’s why I used a lot of concrete to lock my wall.
    One thing with gravel water travels through it so I know on my wall the water on my wall will have to flow through my French drain because I have a concrete gutter on the bottom to minimize water graining through my wall
    Excellent work btw

    First, rent the proper machinery. Small excavator save your back then rent the dingo to stage your block. Then do yourself a huge favor and rent a mixer and pour a thin layer of concrete in the footing to get an easy and quick level. Then stack away. For 600 bucks in concrete and rentals you would have done yourself a huge service

    Can you explain the stepping process. This makes me nervous as I’m trying to build a wall that need to step as it progresses up an inclined drywall. Also when building the base, how to you perform this so the block can be installed flush with an existing concrete drive. Meaning if I prep the base I can’t obviously but the first course of block in the center of the gravel pad while having it against the concrete driveway pad.

    I just bought this same block and I am stuck figuring out the outside corner 90 degrees. I don’t want a rounded corner. How did you make your 90 degree corner? Can you supply Lowe’s item number? I can’t find a corner block that fits the 16x6x10 block.

      Hi Keith, I ran into the same issue. You have to buy them directly from the manufacturer. Hi-Way Concrete in Wareham Mass. Where are you located?

    God damn that is clean brother, looks amazing. Like some shit a Mansion owner would pay to have around his property and pay a boatload of money for.

    I cant imagine how long this took you to build let alone the cost

    • @TheMillerRacingTeam
      @TheMillerRacingTeam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, it took a while. I lost track of the cost after a couple thousand dollars. I actually just built another one about 3X times the size. I'll be posting the video in the next couple weeks. Thanks for watching!

    Such a nice n pro job bro...
    But I have a question why did you build up a retaining wall in a land seems to me like a flat surface 🤔

    • @TheMillerRacingTeam
      @TheMillerRacingTeam  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Sen Lu Ban! That is a good question. The reason for the retaining wall was to enable me to make the fence higher for privacy purposes. The 6 foot fence on top of a 4 foot wall makes it essentially a 10 foot fence (from the outside). Thanks for watching!
