Step 6.1 - Stepping a Wall
When building your wall with the Clifton, a
Corner Block in conjunction with a Step/
Cap may be used to end a course that
steps-up.
Step 6.2 - Add Step/Caps to
Finish the Top of Your Walls
Step 5 - Successive Course
Installation
Prior to adding successive courses, the
top of each block needs to be clean
and free of foreign material. Center the
block and pull it forward until the rear lip
abuts the two blocks below it. Place core
and drainage ll as in Step 4. Place the
backll material behind the drainage rock
in maximum 3" to 6" lifts based on the
rating of your compaction equipment and
compact to 95% Standard Proctor Density.
Repeat this process for each successive
course. Large compaction or construction
equipment should be kept a minimum of
3' from the back of the wall. This 3' area
should be compacted with a vibratory
plate compactor.
