Alaska Street Widening

  • Product: GravityStone® Tradition

  • Challenge: Cut site to widen roadway, preserving the home at top of slope

  • Solution: GravityStone Hybrid MSE over Modular, reducing Excavation needs

The Villages

  • Product: GravityStone® Tradition

  • Challenge: Curved underground golf cart tunnels required vertical walls with no batter; pre-cast concrete couldn’t follow road radii or achieve the desired Old-World aesthetic.

  • Solution: GravityStone’s hybrid system delivered modular flexibility, true vertical construction, and a tumbled, time-worn finish.

Tomlinson Residence

  • Product: GravityStone® Tradition 

  • Challenge: Steep hillside site with limited excavation near existing home footings

  • Solution: GravityStone Modular enabled curved walls with minimal excavation, creating a natural-looking entry feature within tight site limits

Pemberton Creek Estates

  • Product: GravityStone® Tradition

  • Challenge: 63 home community on steep slope site, high surcharges, and water considerations made the site hazardous

  • Solution: GravityStone Hybrid MSE over Modular, stabilizing foundation and increasing connection strength

San Mortiz

  • Product: GravityStone® Tradition 

  • Challenge: Road widening on a steep hillside while maintaining access and protecting adjacent wetlands

  • Solution: GravityStone Modular delivered a tall, narrow retaining wall with minimal excavation, preserving access, environment, and budget
