A long lasting and great looking retaining wall
project begins by selecting the proper material to use during construction of
the wall. After you have selected the proper
block to use, you may find yourself wondering “what do I put within and behind
the blocks?”

| Wall Rock |
To build a quality wall, use a
clean, granular rock (to a depth of at least 12” (30.5cm) behind the block) to
ensure better drainage and compaction to improve the overall performance of
your finished wall. We refer to the
material used within and behind the block as Wall
Rock. Crushed or smooth stone, well graded, compactable aggregate,
ranging in size from 0.25 in. to 1.5 in. (6 to 38 mm) is the ideal wall rock
size. Your AB
Dealer will most likely have what you need.
