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.
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 !!
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!
I am learning a lot watching your videos. Bravo, you're living every little boys dream. Playing with giant Tonka trucks while building a giant Lego set. Hahaha!
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.
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.
Why did you cut those trees they were not even in the way that’s was so stupid and bad for the nature , you could of just move the wall like one feet and you could of kept them 😢poor nature that was so stupid l am unsubscribing and disliking 😠
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
Thanks 👍

great work as always Sean and team!
Thank you
Big boys playing with Lego. Great job.
Thank you
Never seen those big blocks before. Look great.
Great job! I always critique my own work too. Im always trying to be perfect but nothing in this world is perfect.
Thank you, that's the truth!
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!
Very nice work. Finished wall is perfect to me!
Thank you!

Yeah so mine is made to use with a skid loader or excavator
That's great work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great job as always!

Love the way it turned out! Looks great!

super beau travail, félicitation :)
Very nice guys 👏

❤ nice looking work and wall! Would love that wall in between me and my neighbor 😂😂😂
Why didnt you use french drain? Looks nice.
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
These are my favorite type wall to build, after the base course it's smooth sailing. Thanks for watching
Man... I really like thhe look of that. What is the cost per lineal foot at that height? Very cool
Thanks, It's about $50 per sq ft
@@srmcontracting
That's a very reasonable price
great video
great work!!
Thank you!
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
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.
What about chip or flaking and thank you
Nice. How long did that take with the crew and equipment you had on site? 2-3 days?
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.
Nice job. What does this block go for on average?
Sean i would recommend a half block in that area instead of gravel before u step up
Good idea, that would have made it easier getting the distance right!
that a weak point in that area@@srmcontracting
What’s the average cost per foot to build this type of wall
It can vary greatly from project to project but ballpark is $50-$60 per sq st
Bad ass wall. I so want one
What do you use to get your base level? Didn’t see that. I’ve been using 1” pipe
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?
I put 1-2" on the subbase and compact it, then the fabric. I found this method works best for our soil type.
How heavy are the blocks and did you need engineer drawings to build?
No engineering on this one, If this wall was actually "retaining" something I would have had drawings done.
What type of base material is that? Crushed pavement?
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?
Haha exatcly
Sean, what area do you work in?
Lower Bucks county PA
How much are each one of those Blocks???
About $130
Looks great, but not very safe doing caps like that. Get that guy out from under those forks.
Great.
Thanks
He sounds like Ice T
👍
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...
Why did you cut those trees they were not even in the way that’s was so stupid and bad for the nature , you could of just move the wall like one feet and you could of kept them 😢poor nature that was so stupid
l am unsubscribing and disliking 😠
Not interested to watch trees get cut for no reason
