It really depends.. Most job we like to go top to the bottom 12 inches from back of wall minus a foot from the top.. I called this the "plywood method" working on a video for that. This can be very time consuming.. Some cases we will just back fill with all drain rock.... Depending on how much dirt we have to lose..
Just started out with doing these walls.. Also, with cinder block walls.. You really have to be tap in with building them.. After we did this one I was like I'm cool..😂😂 Really have to have a crew that's Really dial end that's use to do them all the time.. Check this one out bit.ly/2zVukrs
You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter, don't you call me. I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store. ? That's a lot of rock.
Wow, 12 tons of rock for that quite small section of wall, not gonna lie, sounds like a lot. Though I've read the rock needs to be a minimum of 12" deep. Did you just go overkill cos why not? I ask because that rock is about $20 a cu. yard right now in my part of the world so it can get pricey to use it so generously for backfill.
Yes the minimum is 12 inches. Also if you use the "plywood" method which you can see at the end the labor can add up quick. So it may be quicker to use mostly drain rock The plywood method can be a bitch and very time consuming process.

Nice one
Appreciate it
what do you put on the top of the vertical drain clean out pipes?
There called atriums
Would putting some henrys on the backside of the wall help?
I Ideally we put it on cinder block wall there☑️ Out Our French Drain Playlist bit.ly/3vmZdwQ
How how should you go with the drain rock? I thought almost to the top would be best??

Out of curiosity, why the concrete retaining wall versus the cinderblocks?
