GRAVEL BASE A 6” trench was dug beneath proposed wall and filled with a gravel base
SAND LAYER A layer of sand 3” thick was leveled and compacted on top of the gravel base
BRICK LAY The wall was built up with an altering brick arrangement and cemented together with masonry adhesive
BACKFILL A layer of 6” gravel was also filled in on the backside of the wall to prevent frost heave from jeopardizing the wall’s integrity during the winter months
