Rockauto for the your new tail light. I need to figure needed block for a retaining wall that is on a slope. My last project my guessamation was off by 3/4 of a pallet.

Thank you for watching

How do you calculate how much base and 3/4 clean material you would need for a retaining wall?

[@ColfaxMath]

The base rock would be the volume of the bottom block times the number of blocks in the bottom row, plus a little more. The rock behind really depends on how the slope is cut.

[@Giggidygiggidy12]

@@ColfaxMath what would be the formula for this? Also would you consider creating an excel sheet or graphic of all the formulas needed to calculate brick, block, and concrete for walls and foundations. I'd pay for that

I own a small landscape company showed this to my son to help explain how we do estimates for ordering. This was great.
