APPLICATIONS
Garden Walls
Garden landscape walls are typically residential applications used to frame patios, provide tree rings, raised flower beds, etc. Block units for these walls are usually less than 3” in height, and many are easy for homeowners to install.

Landscape (Structural) Walls
These landscape walls are typically about 3 feet to 8 feet high, and require reinforcing geogrid, drainage, and design drawings. Special situations such as a parking lot or other large structure above the wall will require stamped, engineered drawings. In these cases, the walls must be installed by professionals.
     

Freestanding Double-Sided Walls
These walls are typically used in patio applications as seating walls or screen walls separating spaces. Because they are freestanding and will have both sides exposed, both faces of the block units are finished either with tumbling or splitting. Freestanding walls are recommend for heights up to 3 feet.
