The dump cart I’m using in the video for the gravel is a Gorilla Cart and I’ve got a video review of it here:

Rock walls are such a classic and sophisticated look. They make me think of England, Ireland, and Scotland.

Im a landscaper. I would recommend researching how to build a retaining wall more if you want or need a functional one.

Thank you for sharing this video! I am in the process and almost done with my wall. I did think it would be a good idea to secure the top. However, all the other videos show adhesive on flat, premade stone. I love the wiggle method, I know this will work just perfect. Thanks again. 🙏🏻

I have been collecting my boulders and flat rocks. I am building my rock wall. Thanks for the video. Your thoughts and ideas will help me.

I used my Gorilla cart a lot for this project and boy do I love a Minnesota company’s product. Check out my video review of it here:

Yea it’s A LOT of work but we’ll done - looks awesome. Might put up a vid of mine 🤔

[frances]

Awesome, helpful video - thank you. One question - is the landscaping fabric solid like polythene, or open weave type like weed mat?

I want to do this in front of my barn, so how would I start as far as you were working with a different level of the ground, mine would be straight.

about how much do the boulders cost for a job that size?

[linhan]

May I know where you bought the boulders?

[robertbergeron]

Where did you get those stones from? I really like the colors!

Nice! Seems pretty easy. Looks original too.

What city was this done in? Curious about frost/freezing and heaving

[fomobull]

Do weeds grow between the boulders, inside the wall? How long will the glue last? I would be tempted to put concrete between the boulders so it is solid everywhere. How many summers did it take? I know it can take forever. When there is also work, life, etc. It looks very classy. Much better than concrete pavers.

It's good. . . But it's best to close the holes for safety for children in the future. 😊

[jeffreywickens]

It looks great. But I wonder, is there only a shell of rocks on the outer edge of your wall, with crushed rock behind, or did you stack rocks front to back, the whole width of the wall? I have been building lava rock walls here in Hawaii, and they are difficult and time-consuming to make, because the rocks had such irregular shapes, that it's hard to get them to stack together.

[marlaplunk]

Fabric won't keep the weeds from growing for long. Moving those boulders to replace it would be a major PITA. No matter what you do, weeds will grow eventually as dirt gets trapped between the rocks.
