Descriptions: In this video I cover the methods I used to build this boulder retaining wall. Specs: 44' long x 8' high x 4'-5' wide. Total volume of stone estimated to be 150,000-200,000 pounds. From the equipment to the hands on each stone. This Basalt stone is no joke. Heavy, dense, large, crazy shapes. Stay to the end and enjoy the X10 footage. This stone was hauled off a job site in White Marsh Maryland. I've given it a job! No matter what size stone you will learn helpful tips to consider when building your next dry stone retaining wall. I'll point out running joints, zipper joints, 1 over 3, end of a wall, hearting and so much more. So grab some pop corn and kick pack. Enjoy the show.
