Building Retaining Walls and Steps | Hardscape Vlog #7 

are you only using a bartell 1570 for all your jobs ?

Thank you! You will want to add geogrid to them if you are building them independently of one another

It’s on all of my projects. I also have a jumping jack. And on patios and driveways I rent a large reversible.

@@iamahardscaper I moved from Quebec to ottawa this year to learn about interlock repair, but if you need someone for your next season, I would be very excited to work with you !!

We are always hiring, but if you are in Ottawa you should reach out to Matt at Hardscape Ottawa

Not worried so much here with this wall product. Could have gone with open graded, but another wall we were doing on this job could not be open graded so we just stuck with the same material. Also some guys do not like using open graded along a foundation.

I think these blocks are about $25 per face foot. I don’t reveal our client’s project costs unfortunately.

Couple ways you can go about it. One is to slope the pavers enough to get the water to flow over the wall. Other way is to use permeable pavers and open graded base with proper drainage. We are doing the first one for this project.

Thank you!

I think I know what you are referring to, but unfortunately no matter what there is going to be those pieces in order to get the stagger.
