Segmental retaining wall (SRW) systems have a variety of positive
attributes, which include an assortment of sizes, styles and colors available
for each project. This variety of
options will allow you to customize your project while also providing you
flexibility on your site to match any condition.
Often, we are asked how to “fit” the wall into an area, because
the space allocated for the wall doesn’t match the exact size of the blocks
meeting up with an existing structure. There is a very easy solution with any
of the Allan
Block (AB) products, and we will outline how you can fit
product into any site below.
First, when you are working with AB, it is important to understand
what
type of tools will be necessary. Whether you need
to extend the wall a bit to fit it into your area, or shorten the block a bit,
a concrete saw with a diamond blade may be required. To cut the block, mark each unit at the
length needed to fit each respective block into the desired location. You can do this by using a lead or soapstone
pencil that will easily wash away. Using
your concrete saw, cut the block/s along the marked line and to the required
length to allow for easy placement into your retaining wall and ensure the
finished look is just right. Learn more

blocks online or email (info@allanblock.com) us about more site specific questions.
