I was wondering how you make sure of no gaps when you layer each layer on-top of the previous. Now I know. COOL! Just one question, if anyone is reading these... What if your particular section of yard is a little downward sloping? Is being 100% level all around the most necessary, or can it be slightly sloped.

What is the name of the sod cutter that you used to cut the sods. I have been looking for it and cant seem to find it anywhere........your help will be appreciated. Great video by the way.

None of your courses are center on seam, and you should take your small bricks from the inside of the brick, not the outside. otherwise great video, good music and a fun watch - stop at 9:32 on your larger retaining wall. WTF? that thing isnt going to be stable at all. you have got to have the center of the bricks on top of the seam from the course below.
