We knock down a failing CMU block wall and replace it with a freestanding redi rock retaining wall. We demolish the block wall, dig the footing, put in stone base, then build the wall. This wall will get caps installed as well.

You’re always going to have imperfections but it’s rare to find a contractor that cares for their neighbors. Great job Sean and Crew

Awesome job Sean. Using the pipe to move the cap in place was very smart. I have bought a backhoe and an excavator from Midstate and I didn't get a hoodie. Have a great day, Tom

Thank you, the pipes worked out pretty good. Those caps are heavy around 600 lbs. I think I got lucky with the hoodie they seemed like they just got a shipment when I was in there.

The track loader operator gave me anxiety. My lord. Why not position the trailer and direct deposit instead of using the track loader?

Hey Sean ! Love your work and the videos you put out ! I’m a landscape /hardscaper and after watching you install the caps with the bobcat I wanted to say that you should check out the hardscape vacuum lifters that are on the market, perfect for setting caps like that ! And definitely safer on the caps and your fingers :) I bought one and love it , would be happy to send you a video of it in action if you’re interested! Keep up the great content my man !!
@srmcontracting
@srmcontracting 7 месяцев назад
Thank you and good idea, I've seen those vacuums at the trade shows. I have to see if they make one to attach to the excavator or bobcat. Those caps are 600 lbs so it's too much to for the backpack vacuums. Thanks for watching!

I am not a contractor. I am just wondering why there was no footing poured? Is it because of the sheer weight of these? How deep of a trench was dug and what exactly was it filled that it's sitting on? Thanks people.

What’s the average cost per foot to build this type of wall
@srmcontracting
@srmcontracting 4 месяца назад
It can vary greatly from project to project but ballpark is $50-$60 per sq st
@excavatorguy
@excavatorguy 4 месяца назад
Nice. How long did that take with the crew and equipment you had on site? 2-3 days?
@ConcreteLand
@ConcreteLand 7 месяцев назад
You had the room. Could have put the trailer beside the excavator for a fair amount of the demo. Skid driver could reposition as needed. Just a thought.

Sean i would recommend a half block in that area instead of gravel before u step up
@srmcontracting
@srmcontracting 7 месяцев назад
Good idea, that would have made it easier getting the distance right!

That Wall should be a safety issue cuz the slightest earthquake and that Wall will fall apart
@srmcontracting

We don't usually have earthquakes in our area BUT last week we had a 4.8 and the wall is still standing...

@srmcontracting
@srmcontracting 7 месяцев назад
Thank you, they shouldn't crack. I would power wash them every few years and even put some sealer on them if you wanted to give some extra protection.

did you put the fabric down first then the first 2'' lift compacted into the subbase or did you do the 2'' lift first then fabric?
@srmcontracting
@srmcontracting 6 месяцев назад
I put 1-2" on the subbase and compact it, then the fabric. I found this method works best for our soil type.

How heavy are the blocks and did you need engineer drawings to build?
@srmcontracting
@srmcontracting 7 месяцев назад
No engineering on this one, If this wall was actually "retaining" something I would have had drawings done.

It's crushed stone, some areas have different names for it. 2A, 3/4" modified, 3/4" minus
