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.

- 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.
