www.axellandscape.com --- Here's a recent two-tiered retaining wall design and installation in Minneapolis, MN. This is Versalok retaining wall block, with Willow Creek pavers for the sidewalk. The project took three days, 8 tons of class 5 base, 12 pallets of block (about 15 tons worth), three pallets of pavers (4 tons or so), 6 tons of rock backfill for the walls, sod, and mulch. Below is info on some of the tools we use every day: For gluing concrete products, we use Loctite PL Premium or PL MAX adhesive. About the Ziplevel--- it's the best elevation measuring device there is. We haven't used laser levels in 12-13 years. Only ziplevels. They are so much quicker and easier to use.

I still have and use my original Stabila 72" level from 16 years ago. Amazon has an amazing deal on a full set (78", 48", 32", 24", 16",10"), which costs about what two big Stabilas would cost! https://amzn.to/2LvehSM Milwaukee Cordless 1/2" Impact Wrench with case and batteries. We used this to remove the fence in the video. I also use it to get tires on and off our trucks and Bobcats. I'm amazed how much power it has: https://amzn.to/2CuQ4cn Stihl TS700 Cutoff Saw: https://tinyurl.com/y834slyw Jobsite Toolbox-- I'll be making an entire video on how awesome this is. We replaced the one in this video with this one. It's 74" wide, 5' tall, and holds an insane amount of stuff. Load and unload all your tools in one shot with your Bobcat. Acme Tool has the best price I found, and free shipping: https://tinyurl.com/y75exaxt See hundreds of photos of landscape projects sorted by budget(cost) and project type at axellandscape.com
