    You’re always going to have imperfections but it’s rare to find a contractor that cares for their neighbors. Great job Sean and Crew

    Awesome job Sean. Using the pipe to move the cap in place was very smart. I have bought a backhoe and an excavator from Midstate and I didn't get a hoodie. Have a great day, Tom

      Thank you, the pipes worked out pretty good. Those caps are heavy around 600 lbs. I think I got lucky with the hoodie they seemed like they just got a shipment when I was in there.

    Boy, this fella has invested beaucoup de bucks on all this wall! Too bad he didn’t start out with these giant blocks to begin with. Amazing job!

    Hey Sean ! Love your work and the videos you put out ! I’m a landscape /hardscaper and after watching you install the caps with the bobcat I wanted to say that you should check out the hardscape vacuum lifters that are on the market, perfect for setting caps like that ! And definitely safer on the caps and your fingers :) I bought one and love it , would be happy to send you a video of it in action if you’re interested!
    Keep up the great content my man !!

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад

      Thank you and good idea, I've seen those vacuums at the trade shows. I have to see if they make one to attach to the excavator or bobcat. Those caps are 600 lbs so it's too much to for the backpack vacuums. Thanks for watching!

    • @joshhurst5649
      @joshhurst5649 9 месяцев назад

      Yeah so mine is made to use with a skid loader or excavator

    This looks amazing. Really wish I could find a company to do something like this on my property in Colorado (as long as I could afford it) that pays attention to detail as I have seen in your vid's.

    looks great! maybe leave a 6-8’ planter with a low retaining wall, one block and cap high…pave the rest. might provide more privacy and some greenery ✌️

    You had the room. Could have put the trailer beside the excavator for a fair amount of the demo. Skid driver could reposition as needed. Just a thought.

    Why didnt you use french drain? Looks nice.

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  2 месяца назад

      It's freestanding so it doesn't need a drain. The base block has dirt on both sides so it can't shift either way.

    Mannn I want to build one these walls so bad.. Can't get them to bite out here in Califorina

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад

      These are my favorite type wall to build, after the base course it's smooth sailing. Thanks for watching

  • @dougsweldingfabrication953

    Man... I really like thhe look of that. What is the cost per lineal foot at that height? Very cool

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад +3

      Thanks, It's about $50 per sq ft

    • @Kushert

    Good job question do they cho or crack or pill when they get old things about do this to my house and this commen in cite

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад

      Thank you, they shouldn't crack. I would power wash them every few years and even put some sealer on them if you wanted to give some extra protection.

    • @curtlundcramer9424
      @curtlundcramer9424 9 месяцев назад

  • @excavatorguy

    Nice. How long did that take with the crew and equipment you had on site? 2-3 days?

  • @morjava
    @morjava 2 месяца назад

    I am not a contractor. I am just wondering why there was no footing poured? Is it because of the sheer weight of these? How deep of a trench was dug and what exactly was it filled that it's sitting on? Thanks people.

  • @communitytube8378

    Nice job. What does this block go for on average?

  • @jallenlandscape752
    @jallenlandscape752 9 месяцев назад +2

    Sean i would recommend a half block in that area instead of gravel before u step up

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад +1

      Good idea, that would have made it easier getting the distance right!

    • @jallenlandscape752
      @jallenlandscape752 9 месяцев назад

      that a weak point in that area@@srmcontracting

  • @ChooChooRooter

    What’s the average cost per foot to build this type of wall

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  6 месяцев назад

      It can vary greatly from project to project but ballpark is $50-$60 per sq st

    What do you use to get your base level? Didn’t see that. I’ve been using 1” pipe

  • @dcwshoreline5416
    @dcwshoreline5416 9 месяцев назад

    did you put the fabric down first then the first 2'' lift compacted into the subbase or did you do the 2'' lift first then fabric?

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад +2

      I put 1-2" on the subbase and compact it, then the fabric. I found this method works best for our soil type.

  • @fillowtree5505
    @fillowtree5505 9 месяцев назад

    How heavy are the blocks and did you need engineer drawings to build?

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад

      No engineering on this one, If this wall was actually "retaining" something I would have had drawings done.

  • @allengarcia2896
    @allengarcia2896 9 месяцев назад

    What type of base material is that? Crushed pavement?

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  9 месяцев назад +1

      It's crushed stone, some areas have different names for it. 2A, 3/4" modified, 3/4" minus

    The track loader operator gave me anxiety. My lord. Why not position the trailer and direct deposit instead of using the track loader?

    That Wall should be a safety issue cuz the slightest earthquake and that Wall will fall apart

      We don't usually have earthquakes in our area BUT last week we had a 4.8 and the wall is still standing...
