WestBlock Systems designs patented dry-stack (mortarless) concrete retaining wall and hardscape systems and licenses them to manufacturing partners. With 60+ patents and 25+ systems, our portfolio includes engineered solutions for commercial earth retention, landscape and garden walls, hardscape applications, and fencing—giving producers a differentiated, patent-backed product family they can tailor to local market needs.
WestBlock Systems offers retaining wall systems ranging from landscape-scale units to commercial earth retention solutions. These systems include modular gravity walls, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, and hybrid configurations, designed to accommodate a wide range of site constraints, wall heights, and performance requirements.
WestBlock Systems products are used in residential retaining walls, outdoor living features, commercial developments, transportation infrastructure, DOT projects, tight urban sites, and specialty applications where conventional retaining wall systems may not be feasible.
WestBlock Systems retaining wall and hardscape products are manufactured as dry-cast concrete units. Dry-cast production allows for precise dimensional control, consistent strength, and efficient installation across a wide range of applications.
WestBlock Systems retaining walls can be designed for a wide range of heights, from low gravity walls under four feet to reinforced or hybrid systems exceeding 30 feet. Final wall height depends on site conditions, soil properties, loading conditions, and project-specific engineering.
A hybrid retaining wall system combines modular gravity wall elements, such as GravityStone Trunks and Anchors, with mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) reinforcement. Hybrid systems offer a unique solution and are often used when excavation space is limited, pre-existing structures are present, or when additional void space is required behind the wall by transitioning between gravity and reinforced sections. WestBlock Systems’ GravityStone Tradition, EVO, and Edge product lines support hybrid wall configurations.
WestBlock Systems products are manufactured by licensed concrete producers across the United States and select international markets. WestBlock Systems provides system design, technical documentation, manufacturing guidance, and engineering support, while production occurs locally through its manufacturing partners.
Yes. WestBlock Systems retaining wall systems are designed to meet applicable industry standards, including ASTM and AASHTO requirements, and align with NCMA/CMHA segmental retaining wall best-practice guidelines. Project-specific designs should be prepared or reviewed by a licensed professional engineer.
WestBlock Systems retaining wall solutions are specified by engineers, architects, landscape architects, and contractors for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The systems are supported by engineering resources, design tools, and project-specific technical assistance.
WestBlock Systems products are available through a network of licensed manufacturers and distributors across multiple regions. Availability varies by product and location. Local representatives can provide region-specific product information and support.
If you are interested in producing WestBlock products, please contact us to discuss your market, production capabilities, and product interests. WestBlock Systems licenses patented dry-stack retaining wall and hardscape systems to manufacturing partners and works closely with producers to identify the systems best suited to their region. From there, we guide qualified partners through the licensing process, technical requirements, and product launch support, and training.
