Block retaining wall
After the trees were removed, I had to decide on what to do with the slope of the yard. I have never like the 4 ft drop of the yard.
The decision was made to make a block retaining wall.
One of the hardest parts of the project was hand digging out the remains of the stump so I could lay the foundation for the wall. What a mess, but it was interesting to flow the roots out. Such a massive tree with not much holding it up.
A foundation was laid to stack the bricks on …
I ended up buying 2 1/2 truck loads of bricks.
