Step #5: Continue adding layers:
Add another layer of stones. It is a good idea to try to keep the tops level and flat. Use the string line again to make sure the tops are level.
The main goal with the remaining layers is to make sure the front face of each stone fits together with its neighbors.
When all the stones for a layer have been placed, backfill with smaller rocks, gravel, and then soil. Repeat these steps until the desired height has been achieved.
Step #6: Place the top stones:
Top stones are used in the final layer of the wall to cap it off.
They are placed vertically, instead of horizontally.
You are done! Now move on to the next section and repeat…
