Retaining wall

[BX Tex]

Me and my BX24 spent last summer building retaining walls to step down a hillside allowing easier access down to the waterfront. We're about 95% complete though the linked video only shows it about 70%. The upper wall is approx 3.25' X 75' and the lower wall is approx 3.25' x 90'

Very nice!!! How many blocks did you end up using? Did you get a volume discount on them?

I second the question on how many blocks and how much were they?

I am thinking of a similar project.

Yup, it was late and I wasn't paying attention again!

I used a little over 900 blocks @ $4.62 ea. and 200 caps @ $3.82 ea.

I can't say that I got any discount for volume but the price is about what I expected if not a bit less.

The blocks Anchor Brighton Stone came from Pavestone Company and I had my local lumberyard order them for me.

They weren't the block I really wanted to use, but they were more than a dollar cheaper.... plus my guy let me store them at his yard and would load me 2 pallets on my trailer every weekend (while I was at work). Beside the price difference, the blocks I first wanted covered less area, which meant more blocks, higher price.

I thinks these look just fine
