DO I NEED A GRAVITY WALL?

Massive, one ton Redi-Rock blocks rely on the sheer mass of each block to hold back the earth--no extra reinforcement required! Redi-Rock large blocks for gravity retaining walls may be the right solution for your project if you need to...

Why choose a gravity system?

The Power of Gravity in Block Form

As compared to a small block wall, a Redi-Rock wall can be built in less space and in many cases requires no geogrid reinforcement--saving on excavation, labor, and space.

Multiple Setback Options

With Redi-Rock’s versatile system, you can incorporate a variety of blocks to achieve taller gravity walls while minimizing excavation. In addition, varying batters are also possible within the Redi-Rock system—from zero degree batter walls to the standard 5 degree batter walls, plus incorporating 9” Setback blocks and Planter blocks for even more batter options.

Quality Components

Redi-Rock blocks are made of 4,000 PSI wet-cast, architectural grade concrete and weigh in at one ton each. These blocks are massive and durable, make them a great fit for projects that need to stand the test of time.

Coordinating Options

Redi-Rock Gravity blocks can be used in the same wall as Redi-Rock Reinforced blocks, Freestanding blocks, Steps, Caps, Columns, or Pavers to create a coordinated, cohesive look for any project.

Un-matched aesthetics

Redi-Rock blocks are made of architectural grade precast concrete, but they feature the look of natural stone, giving reinforced retaining walls a beautiful look! Click the blocks to the right to see what textures are possible; contact your local manufacturer for availability in your region.

Ledgestone

Redi-Rock concrete blocks in Ledgestone texture blend beautifully with landscapes across North America and Europe. Deep textures combine with rich coloring from your local region to create an aesthetic look for reinforced retaining walls that can't be beat.

Cobblestone

This isn't your ordinary concrete block wall. The Redi-Rock Cobblestone texture gives reinforced retaining walls a refined look in a multitude of applications.

Limestone

The large scale of Limestone texture blocks make them a perfect fit for large-scale reinforced retaining walls that need to make a statement. Natural split limestone texture is a beautiful finish for many projects!

How Do Gravity Blocks Work?

Use the red buttons to find out

Shape

Redi-Rock blocks are trapezoidal in shape. This fact enables the blocks to accomplish convex and concave radii.

Fork Slots

The patented fork slot technology was designed so contractors can use heavy machinery to pick multiple blocks at a time

Efficiently staging product on jobsites reduces handling time and is safer than hooking blocks with a chain.

Groove

Save time positioning blocks and ensure a proper fit with the interlocking knob and groove technology.

Lifting Hook

A solid hook made from A36 steel is cast directly into the Redi-Rock blocks. The hook is used to safely lift blocks into place

Texture

Redi-Rock products lead the industry in texture depths at a whopping 5.5in of texture. Redi-Rock comes in three textures: Limestone, Cobblestone, and the revolutionary Ledgestone. Also, multiple colors can be achieved to meet your need.

Contact your local Redi-Rock manufacturer for texture and color options.

Knobs

Redi-Rock blocks utilize a knob and groove technology. This simple concept means that the entire structure is interlocked. Interface shear testing data is available in the Technical section of this website.

The giant 60 Inch Middle Block weighs a whopping 3290 pounds. This Block weighs as much as a Chevrolet Corvette!

60 In. Redi-Rock blocks are often used in the bottom course(s) of a wall so the wall can be built even higher without geogrid. This block is huge!

Who Else Uses the Gravity Series?

DOTs, municipalities, highway authorities...

Redi-Rock large blocks for gravity retaining walls are used in hundreds of projects across North America and Europe every year. And the applications are as diverse as the geography.

Here, a new road required a massive gravity wall to create space but save existing trees. 19.5 ft. with no geogrid reinforcement? Yes, it's possible!

Developers, storm water officials, cities...

Redi-Rock large blocks for gravity walls perform extremely well in water applications. Why? Architectural grade precast concrete, massive block sizes, and rigorous engineering combine to create a formidable solution for any shoreline, storm channel, or retention pond.

Here, Redi-Rock helped developers save an apartment building from an encroaching stream in an emergency repair.

Homeowners, engineers, contractors...

Gravity walls are an ideal solution for projects that need to be built close to existing structures.

In this project, a life-long contractor needed to stabilize the slope below his own home. He chose Redi-Rock because he knew it could handle the load and he didn't trust any other product with his home.
