Modular Block Walls

Consolidation in modular retaining wall block industry has stifled innovation, reduced competition, and led to increased costs of modular block for retaining walls.

Cross Tie Timber Retaining Walls

Due to changes in EPA regulations, crosstie timbers are no longer issued building permits for retaining walls.

Landscape timbers are not durable enough for use in retaining walls over two feet in height as were crosstie timbers. The lifespan of landscape timbers is only about five years, whereas retaining walls made of crossties endured decades. For these reasons, we no longer use wood of any kind for retaining wall construction or replacement.
