GravityStone™ retaining wall block products offer the solution to the tight site problem. Three easily assembled pieces allow structures up to 12' tall without geogrid (dependant on conditions). Assemblies can go even taller when geogrid is included, but due to its unique design, it can at times reduce geogrid lengths in half. |
Although alternatives are available with poured in place, soil nail and panels, many times it comes down to an aesthetic appeal. Homeowners do not want to live next to walls that lower property value or give the neighborhood the feel of "freeway" property. |
