Retaining Wall Base
Okay, this shouldn't matter which brand we choose, but we have installed several walls this year and they have turned out great. I have no doubts about the base or drainage I have installed. But we spend lots of time preparing the base and laying the base course. I would like some ideas from more experieced installers.
we use 6 inches of ABC with 1/4-1/2 inch of sand. base is mechanically compacted and leveled on grade with transit. We are looking for a streamed line approach to the process. have considered using "batter boards" or form the base and screed it to our liking, but sometimes it is difficult working in a 12 inch x 30 inch trench (base and embedded block) I have a small wall to install around a pool we have built and due to the small height I would like to make it faster (18'' tall) we are including columns and fencing, bear in mind this is in the planning stages but I believe it to happen soon.
thanks for the tips,
