Juniper retaining walls, 2015 SE PDX

 "prior to the fun of making the Juniper 6 by 6 inch beam wall with 20,000 lbs of wood 

 carried one by one from the street, 

was the DEMO of the preexisting stacked reclaimed concrete slab wall, which I wheelbarrowed to the many dumpsters laboriously....

about 40 yards of concrete, dirt, sod, removed from the site, at 2-3,000 lbs or so per yard......" 

 







"dirt gravel thrower" typically refers to a stone slinger truck, also known as a rock slinger truck or material slinger. 

 These vehicles use a conveyor system to accurately distribute  
(Shoot it thru the air)
materials like gravel, topsoil, sand, and mulch 



over distances up to 100-130 feet. "

(As seen, dirt from street is launched to backyard, filling in retaining wall)



 "the largest Juniper beam wall you'll see. gravel foundation, rebar stakes, buried one course deep 

. should last at least 75 years, probably 100.

 there are 15-20 yards of river rock, gravel, concrete block behind the wall of wood.....for drainage"
