With an abundance of field stone I took delivery of 25 Ton of rock. I have an elevated drive in need of a retaining wall. It’s max 3ft tall and runs for 75 ft.
I had some quotes for 17K and I can’t stomach that price.
My guy brought the rock delivery in a side dump trailer and it’s pretty spread out with some stones weighing 700 plus.
My neighbor brought over his mini-backhoe and we got a great start. He is a contractor and proficient as can be with this machine. After about 4 hours of work, and half done, we took a break. He then told me “You go ahead and finish it up”.
Now a little background: I am hilariously bad and a novice with heavy equipment and he knows this. Regardless that’s where I’m at right now. I just got done moving a total of 5 rocks in two hours and being ridiculously slow and jerky. My wife took a video and it looks like heavy equipment rerun school.
Mad respect to those folks who can work this shit with mad precision.
