Application

  • Suitable for most applications from low height residential landscaping to tall commercial retaining walls.
  • Designed for steep, sloping hillsides and other traditionally difficult installation areas.

Description

A dry build segmental retaining wall system which allows fast track construction in all weathers. The blocks are traditionally landscape orientated with a surface finish that gives the appearance of riven faced dressed stone.


Features and benefits:

  • A locating lug on the top of each block automatically provides a uniform setback (4° face batter) and perfect alignment.
  • Available in two finishes – Straight or StoneCut.
  • A double-sided block enables a vertical wall to be constructed without mortar with the same textured finish on both sides.
  • Also available for machine installation.


Geogrid reinforcement is required for engineered walls over 1.0 m high. Please consult AG technical literature for further details.

Radius:

The units can be laid to internal or external radius:

  • Outside curve (minimum radius to back of block on top course): 1800 mm.
