You were wondering about the shape of The-Block®? After years of being involved in the precast concrete/landscape business and listening to the concerns of the retaining wall installers, we felt there was a definite need to design a system that was installer friendly as opposed to a system probably devised by people with a masonry block plant and not people who installed walls.

Our approach was to design a one block system that locked side to side, top to bottom, addressed multi-batters (a positive five degree or ten degree locked set back), lead and lag (position of the blocks as radius changes), infinite radiuses (small and large curves), infinite inside and outside radiuses (inside and outside corners) and three to four blocks to make a tight ninety degree corner. To this we incorporated a reasonable working weight per block and a rebar groove for masonry construction. Also, on top of The-Block® retaining wall you can build a fence with The-Block® by alternating the blocks.

Finally, the smooth finish of The-Block®. Our thought is to keep it simple, functional, user friendly and less expensive. We hope it can work for you!
