retaining wall/parking lot

DAY ONE, BRING ALL EQUIPMENT	AND MATERIALS ON SITE.
HERE WE ARE REMOVING THE TOPSOIL.	WITH THE TOPSOIL REMOVED WE COMPACT THE TRENCH.
NEXT WE FILL THE TRENCH WITH SIX INCHES OF CRUSHED STONE.	THIS WILL GIVE US A GOOD BASE FOR BUILDING THE RETAINING WALL.
WITH THE STONE IN PLACE AND COMPACTED WE BEGIN TO BUILD THE WALL.	IT IS VERRY IMPORTANT THAT THE FIRST RUN OF BLOCKS BE LEVEL,IF THEY ARE NOT IT WILL THROUGH OFF THE OTHER COURSES.
AFTER THE FIRST COURSE IS BACK FILLED AND COMPACTED WE BEGIN TO LAY THE 2ND.	DRAINAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT WEN BUILDING A RETAINING WALL.
AFTER BACK FILLING THE 2ND COURSE A REINFORSMENT GRID IS LAID IN PLACE. THIS WILL PREVENT THE WALL FROM MOVING UNDER PRESHURE.	WE NOW CAN START THE 3RD COURSE. AFTER THIS IS BACK FILLED AND COMPACTED WE USE MASONRY ADHEASIVE TO SECURE THE CAP STONES.
AFTER A DELIVERY OF GRAVEL WE BEGIN TO BACK FILL AND LEVEL THE PARKING LOT.	SOME RAKEING AND COMPACTION AND WE WILL BE DONE.
A FINAL INSPECTION AND WE ARE FINISHED.	ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER.

WE SPECIALIZE IN BUILDING "ALLAN BLOCK" RETAINING WALLS, STEPS AND FENCES.
