SEGMENTAL RETAINING WALLS

Our segmental retaining wall systems are the product of choice for the most stringent of home owners, installers, and architects. Due to their versatile nature, our retaining walls have been used for a wide variety of landscaping and structural projects including straight or curved walls, terraces, steps, planter boxes, pedestals, lamposts, entrance pillars, free standing walls and driveway/garden edgers.

Like lego blocks, our retaining walls consist of a series of interlocking segmental pieces that are stacked up to create your wall – because the units are interlocking, no mortar, glues or clips are necessary. The walls overall stability comes from the mass (weight) of the total wall; however, where additional support is required, horizontal layers of soil reinforcement extending into the backfill can be used to increase the effective weight of the gravity mass.
