Your guys aren't just getting it done, they're getting it done right! Careful planning and excellent execution! I'm looking forward to seeing this entire project through. Thanks for sharing the experience with us and God bless you!

I went all Bobcat in the end. The New R2 series available today are incredibly improved and like you say, buttery smooth with serious mechanical improvements and stability. I like how you show us all the different equipment and input... thanks!

Never realised how technical dirt could get. I'm amazed by your content and the professional way your team approaches the job. I learn something new each time I watch one of your uploads . Shame KZfaq doesn't have a bigger thumb's up button.

Awesome video Stan. The step by step is great to see the transformation of the project.

Fot the first time in 7 years, my boss joined the mowing crew fir a day! It was awesome! Hope you had a great monday! Keep up the great work!

Stan, this is where your content shines above the rest. Your expertise is evident and the informational level steps up. This is only my personal opinion, but I like it when you take us here. Thank you very much for helping us understand the retaining wall construction process! Nick, North West Farmer

I love these videos. Looking forward to the other videos on this project. Thanks Stan...

Thank you Stan for another awesome video god bless thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos

Good to see these videos back, retaining walls and other block things are kinda cool

Thanks to your videos we where able to have the knowledge to ask all the needed question for our new retaining wall .

Thanks for the videos. I cant wait for the series

These guys are the best at what they do. Wish you guys were in CT. Love all the videos. Keep up the good work.

I've been waiting for this series! Thank you Stan

Awsome vid as always! Can't wait for the rest!

Nicely done video again! Thank you.

I love these project videos.

Been waiting for this video. thanks for posting!

Been a long time coming! thank you Stan!

Thank You AS a professional to the next. Thank you for your time and the knowledge you pass on to other people. Thank You.

Great stuff as always, Stan.

Hey Stan thanks for takin time to video this for us. Always learning something. Long time subscriber. Craig. Pa.

Can't wait, Stan....I want to learn, thanks!

Great Work Stan. You have a good Crew.

Stan ….. I’m watching! I wish you and your team the BEST!

Looking forward to this series!

Good video, can’t believe how much work goes into a wall like that

I'd have to argue that one because if the wall is backfilled with drainage aggregate all the way to the top like I have done in the past...then the water will find it's easiest way out and that's down through the rock to the drainage pipe which let's the water out quicker if it builds up behind the wall instead of building up pressure against the wall seeping through the cracks in the block...but yes the wall is designed to let water pass but if your drainage ditch is installed properly it will find the pipe ...I've always had to do at least five foot of 3/4 inch stone all the way up to subsoil grade and fabric over the top of gravels before subsoil is placed...

Hi I just saw your retaining wall called Crazy neighbour Brilliant job you and your lads did. Be very proud of your work

Excellent work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

Very Informative as usual Stan.

I've never seen so much dirt without rocks in it. Amazing!

Another 👍👍👍👍👍video. Thanks Stan🤗

Stan great vlog! Man the care you guys put into yhese walls.

I had wondered what happened to Sam. Glad to see him back and this project. Thank Stan.

It’s nice to see some one ho knows how to do it right with the grid and back fill is just about as important as the block work start to finish top notch all the that will never move I did one it was 360’ long with 3 set backs of 8’ and 24’ high still standing 15 years now and you are right it’s the pins that make.the job last good job guys

I heard a new saying from you, "boogered up." 😂 I am watching this for the second time. Fascinating video. Thank you! 😊🙏

ive been waiting for this vid!!!

Looking good Stan

Great video Stan I really enjoyed this video 🇺🇲 another job well done 🇺🇲

great job

Brilliant video.

Nice video man !!

Forward thinking and planning i like it

Yup, I would not use certain blocks especially at that height. Nice work and good choice of block...

Love the videos Stan

Cant wait to see the new excavator Stan is getting just for us to all see! Only $100k for our enjoyment…What a nice guy!😉

Man I’ve been waiting for this episode for a long time let’s go

Ok ready for the next one Stan. 👍

Great project.

Good stuff! Thanks

Love the videos

County material makes a pin together solid block. I also only use pin together blocks. Although boulder walls are more fun to build.

Outstanding

Will attest to versa lok wall blocks, ours has been in for 5 years, no issues minus that effervescent stain in one or two spots. Local university has a 12 tall foot wall about two hundred long, been up since 2006 ( more than likely earlier than that, is only first time I have ever seen it). Looks as good as new.

Very educational.

Never a dull moment

Wow a lot of work! Don’t think I will be doing jobs this big in my yard! Lol

I love the content, and I’m sorry I have missed like 2 videos but I will catch up

That geogrid has to be a game changer. It probably effectively ties things together so the wall has double the equivalent thickness or something like that.

first class all the way ,this is a lifetime plus job

Today its smothered chili verde burritos with rice and beans. Dirt Monkey has become my dinnertime entertainment. 👊😆👍

Good video my friend hope the Project goes ok god bless 💯👊💪🔥

Very cool. I enjoy the process and the meticulous way the guys are putting the job together. Keep up the outstanding work.

Good Video, thanks for shaaring.

Nice video bro 👍

Yeah. Been wondering about this project.

That fabric looks like what ppl crews used under the temperarry stone access road they made through are fields while replacing old wooden power poles with metal one's

My bobcat t66 takes slopes like a champ

Love it Stan. We don't have a versa-lok distributor within 500 miles. It's likely an alternate manufacturer would make my project more affordable. Fortunately it isn't a 9 foot+ wall.

It's hard to describe the warm fuzzy feel of seeing the geogrid and pins go in with the blocks and be well assured that the wall won't have a blowout slide after it's done. Excellent work indeed

Awesome.

How much does that cost

Hey Stan, great content, learning a ton. Quick question: would there be any reason to not backfill a wall completely with gravel vs. 1 or 2 ft of gravel and then dirt? I have a 5ft wall with grid, and have enough material on site to do this, just not sure if the reinforcement zone can just be all clear gravel. Appreciate the feedback!

Have I not seen most of this project? Anyway I want to see the finished job. A difficult one for sure. Cheers 🇨🇦

I was beginning to wonder if you were going to get back to this project. I've missed seeing Sam. Keep them coming.

I like how you had to count your fingers. LOL

Versa- Lok walls are awesome. Ive installed quite a few

“The wall wouldn’t have failed by any means, just would’ve been exposed” basically saying he could’ve halfway cheated but chose not too. Much respect

So that's what the real John Travolta is doing!

If you're using block with just the thin lip on the bottom holding everything together, would it be a good idea to CAREFULLY clean each layer as you put it in and use construction adhesive in between each layer of blocks to reinforce that small lip leaving gaps in the glue string to allow water to escape from behind the wall?

When you said it wouldn't fail, he is just going over and above.. I heard.. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑😂

Been waiting for the return of this video update.

Good vid

Would really like to see you do some videos using Redi Rock.

15:15 now you got me curious. I want to see some of your walls from 2001!

I was looking forward to a 10 part series on this wall. 😭

Cool

You should look into getting a bobcat E20 or E26 mini excavator with quick couplers and a thumb. It will change your life!

On sketchy slopes I loved my old bosses terex pt100g forestry that thing I sware couldn't tip over backwards and could handle a bunch of weight out front on a steep slope

Nice treehouse

Sweet ASV! Mn made baby!

I’ve got a big job (for me anyway) 300’ of 6’ and 280’ of 4’ tall. Only products we have access to in our area are keystone stone gate which is solid and pinned or belgard castle manor which is also solid and pinned. Engineering put 5 layers of Geogrid for the 6’ with 2 buried courses. 12” of drain rock behind but we are going 18”. Any thoughts or suggestions? Love the videos and you guys are the reason we branched out into hardscapes! Thanks

Joey, put your safety glasses on when cutting. I know it can be a pain but you only get one set of eyes. -Uncle

You should build the largest versa-lock retaining wall on your property... like world record... then you always got the title 🏆

11ft in one rise? never knew that was possible!

How much does a retaining wall like this cost?

You are forgetting the best machines out there: Bobcat. Old school foot control machines with no frills. Best you can get.

Stanley, I’m starting a retaining wall project, will 3/4 minus quarry rock work well for the drainage rock behind the retaining wall? I know it packs really well so it would probably work well for the footing but wasn’t sure for behind the wall. I can also get 3/4 minus river rock to use behind the wall, it doesn’t have the small fine particles so it would probably drain better. What are your thought? Thanks so much for your videos. Tom

Stan compaction compaction and then more compaction is the key with the grid that’s a big wall there wasn’t a problem with the engineering changing from a 9 to a 11’ wall but I guess if the slide plane is taken out of the equation everything will be fine.

I'm stoked for this . Will it be daily uploads , or will it be on the normal schedule?
