Years ago I worked for a Landscape Contractor in Seattle. Our soils and climates are similar to yours. We specialized in doing the tough jobs other contractors didn't want. Steep, wet, isolated, etc... lots of hand work because it was impossible to bring equipment in.

Moved lots of heavy concrete in wheelbarrows on steep terrain. Some sites had wet clay to excavate by hand and then haul out in wheelbarrows, then up ramps to dump in the beds of our pickup trucks. Then unload sloppy wet clay in dump sites.All this just to get ready for footings for retaining walls or slabs.

Sites too isolated for concrete pumps so we hauled concrete in by wheelbarrow. It really helped define you as a person. What other contractors thought impossible, we made possible with hard work and determination. The end products were beautiful landscapes to be enjoyed by lucky homeowners.

Thank you for sharing your projects.

Cracking on Stu, saw a funny one the other day on Bradford road Farnworth, ex council property just been bought, guys ripped out established hedges on front garden to build a garden wall with pillars, I drive up there quite a lot, thinking that's going up quick, then noticed the " footings ", a concrete block turned on its side and build a 9 inch wall on that 😂😂😂, maybe that's how its done in flip flop places, lets hope it doesn't rain a lot, most of Bradford road runs down hill😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Use a mattock to dig footings by hand coupled with a good bullnosed shovel. It make lighter work.

So nice to see the pegs going in many use the laser to strike lines on side of trench in marking paint and wonder why the got it mile out and have to split bricks/ blocks haha

Здравствуйте.Интересная идея с деревянными кольями для отметок.Но у нас всегда армируют фундамент металлической или полимерной арматурой.

Great job. Just wondering, is it common here to wheelbarrow the concrete in? Whenever I watch American videos they pump it through long thick hoses. Seems much easier but I guess more clean up of the hose maybe

What’s the depth of the footing? Looks about 400mm??

И никакого вибратора! Граблями поштрыкал и порядок!

For such heavy work, you need a pickaxe and a crowbar!
