Interlocking Block Systems
Modern interlocking blocks make things even easier since they stack without mortar. That means faster installs, better drainage, and extra strength.
Allan Block Installation
If you want something with a cleaner finish, premium Allan Block systems are a great choice. They’re built for durability and come with textured faces and color options that look sharp.
Redi-Rock Systems
For bigger jobs, large-format blocks step in. They handle tall walls, commercial sites, and tough terrain without a problem.
Reinforced Block Walls
When a wall needs maximum support, engineered designs with geogrids are the way to go. They add strength for tall builds or walls that carry extra weight.
Drainage Integration
We install proper drainage in every wall, including gravel backfill, drainage pipes, and weep holes, to guarantee long-term stability.

Allan Block and interlocking systems $35-$45/sq ft. Redi-Rock and engineered walls $45-$60/sq ft. A typical 30-foot long, 4-foot high wall costs $3,000-$6,000. We provide free detailed estimates.
Properly constructed block retaining walls last 30-50+ years with minimal maintenance. Quality concrete blocks are extremely durable and resist weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture. The lifespan depends on proper installation, adequate drainage, and using quality materials. Many block walls last 50+ years.
Allan Block is a premium interlocking block system designed specifically for retaining walls. Blocks have textured faces, multiple colors, and built-in setback for structural strength. Standard concrete blocks are smooth, less expensive, and typically require mortar. Allan Block installs faster and looks more attractive but costs more than basic blocks.
Walls over 3-4 feet typically need geogrid reinforcement for stability. Reinforcement requirements depend on wall height, soil conditions, and what the wall supports (slopes, driveways, etc.). We assess your site and provide engineered solutions when needed. Proper reinforcement is critical for tall walls and heavy loading conditions.
Yes! Block retaining walls work well on slopes. For steep slopes, we use terraced walls (multiple shorter walls) or reinforced systems. The modular nature of blocks makes them ideal for sloped terrain. We grade and prepare the site properly to ensure a solid, level base for wall construction.
Proper drainage is essential. We install gravel backfill for drainage, perforated drainage pipes at the base, and weep holes through the wall face. Some interlocking blocks have built-in drainage features. Good drainage prevents water pressure buildup that can cause wall failure. We ensure all walls have adequate drainage systems.
