Base Preparation
It is critical to dig and level an appropriate base, then compact materials in layers to get them as dense as possible before the wall goes up.
Retaining Walls
Retaining wall projects are built around correct base prep, compacted layers, and careful leveling for long-term stability.

The first layer of wall block often sits halfway or entirely into the ground. Getting that first course level ensures the rest of the wall performs correctly.
Boulders and natural slabs can also be effective, often offering a more natural look and an affordable option for anchoring retained soil.
