FAQs

What size retaining wall block should I use?

Standard blocks are 16"W × 8"H × 12"D. Smaller blocks (12"W × 8"H) work for shorter walls. Larger blocks provide more stability for taller walls.

Yes, use 4-6 inches of compacted gravel base for proper drainage and stability. Extend the base 12 inches beyond the wall on both sides.
