A mortarless dry build segmental retaining wall system consisting of self-finished concrete blocks with the appearance of riven faced stone.
Vertica® is a high-performance mortarless segmental retaining wall system, ideal for managing sloping ground and maximising usable space.
Designed for strength, flexibility and ease of installation, Vertica® blocks feature patented alignment locators and a near-vertical face, allowing walls to be built to virtually any height—even in the tightest spaces—while minimising excavation and land take.
Engineered for long-term performance, Vertica® retaining walls are typically used with geosynthetic reinforcement and are manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards for strength and durability.
Now available for machine installation—Vertica® wall systems streamline construction on larger-scale projects.
Offered in a premium Stone Cut™ finish and a range of warm, earth-toned colours, the system provides both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
AG has also introduced a Solid Top Block—a double-sided unit designed to neatly complete the final course of a standard Vertica® wall where both sides are visible, delivering a clean and professional finish.
