about much did this cost?

[GardenGuy06]

@dalenousmaximus300 it depends on the type of brick and how high you want the wall. The Mutual Materials website has a calculator on their site to figure it out.

That tamper wouldn't last a week were I work. Never heard of a 2'6'' or a 3'6'' level either. The real pros are guys that do this everyday.

[GardenGuy06]

@Super2loose this story is for the homeowner who wouldn't be using this tamper everyday. He was guesstimating the level length, he never said 2'6" or 3'6", but you were supposed to get the idea. Ron is a pro and he was quickly going through the steps for our viewers.

Also a fan of the homemade tamper! what a great idea.

@WilliamFurman1 seriously i had to watch this again cuz of you! He does say "three and a half" and "two and a half." Where do you buy levels at? Even if 30" and 42" levels do existt they aren't at all common.I've never seen em. It is a 4ft and 2ft level in the video, a real pro can tell just by ACTUALLY WATCHING THE VIDEO. Why you kissing (GardeGuy06) ' ass anyways? This video is medeocre advice at best!

[WilliamFurman1]

@Super2loose try to add content that benefits people.... besides 30" and 42" levels both exist even if they were not directly mentioned on this video.

That is not a good tamper, tamping the gravel base is one of the most important steps, you want to compact the gravel real hard, not like how she is doing it in the video.

Too much talking instead of demonstration. I always hate when an instructional video has the project already completed.

i have retaining walls with steps already but they are made of railroad ties, and they're rotting out. I want to put stone in, can I just rip out the old ties and start builing these walls after placing some gravel? Or will I have to tear it all out and start from scratch?

[psandbergnz]

I have a recently made (excavated) embankment wall which is 5'6'' tall (the earth wall is practically vertical). There's not a lot of pressure behind it, but since it is vertical, there has been quite a lot of soil erosion from it.

I wonder whether these simple, rather light-weight blocks would be suitable to retain the embankment? As I said, the vertical earth wall is about 5'6'' tall by about 50' wide.

twittter @easycreteusa EasyCrete's line of precast concrete fencing and wall systems are used as perimeter walls, sound barriers, screening walls, equestrian fencing and as an attractive retaining wall solution.
