Installing Reinforced Retaining Walls

Redi-Rock walls are reinforced using the highly efficient Redi-Rock Positive Connection (PC) system that has rigorous testing behind it. Due to the massive size of each block, reinforcement requirements are reduced—saving you time and money on installation. Installing a PC System does not require special pins or extra parts--simply pull a strip of geogrid through the block's slot. 

Other benefits of Redi-Rock PC System walls include:

  • Superior seismic performance

  • Corrosion-free reinforcement

  • Simplified wall construction sequence

  • Increased wall height with reduced geosynthetic reinforcement requirements

  • The ability to coordinate with Freestanding walls, Columns, Planter blocks, and Pavers to create a complete solution for your project

You can count on the Redi-Rock PC System to install easily and stand the test of time.


The Redi-Rock system includes 85 blocks (available in all 3 textures) that can be combined in a multitude of different ways to create a custom solution for your project. Click here to view a comprehensive list of block details (PDF).

Redi-Rock is available in three distinct stone textures to match the aesthetics of your project's architecture or landscape. Redi-Rock blocks install the same no matter what texture they are--making installation simple and fast.

  • Ledgestone: Deep, random texture and rich coloring help Ledgestone walls match indigenous stone and soil hues in your area. The texture on each block makes individual blocks nearly indistinguishable, giving the impression of a natural, random stone wall.
     
  • Cobblestone: Even though the face of these blocks is 5.75 sq. ft., the chiseled Cobblestone texture gives each block the appearance of six small blocks. These blocks can be colored or stained to achieve the aesthetic you’re looking for.
     
  • Limestone: The quarried face of Redi-Rock Limestone blocks looks great in larger scale projects. These blocks can be colored or stained to achieve the aesthetic you’re looking for.

Redi-Rock blocks are available in hues that blend in with your local landscape. Contact your local retailer for availability!
