Many thanks. This is exactly what I am doing now in the garden.

Lovely work - your previous videos helped me lay 42 blocks on Monday - thank you very much :)

A little bit of knowledge gained from watching this could mean I could make a nice job, Of cause I would have this video at hand just in case 🌹

Great inspiration for a wee job I'm planning!

Gotta do a 4ft block wall tomorrow for a customer, first time I’ve done it myself on a live site, so this video has helped massively mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent video I learned a lot from this. I need to lay a block wall 12 blocks long and 3 high. I only have one of those plastic mixing trays and I'm wondering if I can manage with that or if I really need to hire a cement mixer which I don't want to do.

They look like standard concrete blocks. Do you have any concern over water seeping in and freezing over the winter, cracking the block?

[realryanbeck]

Thanks for making this video. It gives me confidence to build my retaining wall this weekend. What type of chippings you suggest I use? I do see many out there so not sure which one to buy.

Should have put some pipes in to drain the water out
This will fail in no time.

Surely you need deeper foundations for this? Once the water gets under the concrete base level you could if you wanted push this over or move it freely?

[lukedavis]

Thank you for the video! So helpful. One question how deep and wide do you build the foundation? I'm planning to do the same for a 1 metre tall wall. Which holding back soil which only half metre tall. Thanks for the help again

Great vid. Do I have to create a concrete base before laying the block. I notice you just put the mixer on the gravel and lay the block on. Your response will be appreciated

Excellent wall job 🙂where did you get these concrete blocks from? Are they heavy ?

[rinchhensherpa]

How much would a job like this cost if I would have to get someone to do it? Without the materials.

Hi. great video. trying to decide what bricks to use for my wall and these look great. are they just standard bricks? what measurements are they. thank u. jonny

[hdjfjchcnsjdkfwjdjbkcndjd]

nice job! how much did youy pay for them bricks?

[anthonykinrade]

It must save a lot of muck by not putting any in the perps?

[vrglcom]

Why cement for footings, why not just lay a row of cement blocks in the trench? Isn’t it the same thing? Both cement..

Good morning this is exactly what the wife is asking me to build, how do I get the wall straight from end to end, I understand the level but it’s making the wall straight I’m worried about?

[MegaPanthor]

How high could you safely go laying blocks this way for a retaining wall (soil and only people walking on it)? Great videos by the way really helped me.
