Segmental retaining walls are modular block retaining walls used for vertical grade change applications. The walls are designed and constructed as either gravity retaining walls (conventional) or reinforced soil retaining walls. The system consists of dry-cast concrete units that are placed without mortar (dry stacked) and rely on their unit to unit interface and mass to resist overturning and sliding. Unit to unit interfaces include friction, shear elements, and interlock. The systems may also employ soil reinforcement that extends into the backfill and allows for the construction of walls with significant height (e.g. in excess of 50 ft (15.24 m)) that could not be accomplished with the units alone.
Segmental retaining walls are considered flexible structures, so the footing does not need to be placed below the frost line, provided there is sufficient foundation bearing capacity. SRW units are manufactured in conformance with industry standards and specifi cations to assure that units delivered to a project are uniform in weight, dimensional tolerances, strength, and durability—features not necessarily provided in site cast materials.

Since 1987, VERSA-LOK has been creating “Solid Solutions” for architects and engineers with the industry’s original solid, top-pinning segmental retaining wall system. Our low-absorption, high-strength, solid concrete units provide not only the long-lasting durability engineers expect, but also the limitless number of design options architects demand.
Versa-Lok Standard Allegheny Blend
Versa-Lok Square Foot Unit
Square Foot is a premium cored unit that covers a full square foot of wall face economically, making it a low-cost alternative for some commercial applications. Its trapezoidal shape and top-pinning system allow for variable bond construction, accurate alignment, tighter vertical joints and easy installation. Square Foot’s unique design enables a near-vertical setback, and its thick face affords greater durability than other cored systems.
We wouldn't be surprised if your first glance at a Kodah retaining wall makes you want do a double take. Go ahead and stare. The large dimensions and subtle character of these walls beg for attention.
4 large, multi-textured unit sizes and corner blocks imitate snapped limestone. Modern linear character gracefully compliments plants and flowers. Consistent block heights make installation a snap, for faster project completion. Blocks can be used for retaining walls or freestanding seat and garden walls
ROSETTA® KODAH
The relatively large dimensions of the Rosetta Outcropping units allow you to create grand, structural walls in a scale that is both believable and inspiring. The Outcropping Collection was designed with 12 unique size units and 24 unique stone textures to create the most natural appearance possible. Fully engineered to exacting specifications, the Outcropping Collection is not limited by the inconsistent properties of natural stone, yet maintains its appearance and feel.
A LARGE-SCALE, CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE WALL.
Simple in principle, a wall made of Rosetta Grand Ledge is just blocks stacked up. Eloquent in execution, however, this man-made replica of nature is so much more. Grand Ledge boasts the striking texture of snapped limestone at a grandiose scale, and it all adds up to something sublime.
DYNAMIC BIG BLOCK WALL SOLUTIONS.
The MagnumStone system is designed for complete versatility and offers innovative and effective methods of production and installation. The hollow core blocks are engineered to efficiently adapt to any retaining wall application, maximize land usage while requiring 40% less concrete than solid concrete retaining wall systems. With a complete range of block units, the MagnumStone system provides solutions for any style or application of big block retaining walls.
Common Applications
Gravity Walls: Gravity retaining walls can be built in tight areas with limited excavation space. MagnumStone gravity retaining wall extenders offer designers the ability to build taller gravity retaining walls by increasing the wall depth in 2 ft. or 4 ft. increments. Gravity extenders deliver impactful performance while further fortifying retaining wall outside corners.
Geogrid Walls: Geogrid retaining wall designs are used to reinforce soil mass and help designers build retaining walls that will resist active forces from above and behind the wall. MagnumStone SecureLug connection offers a superior interlock between the specified grids and the block-to-block connection.
Terraces With Planters: Terraced planter retaining wall designs work in harmony with MagnumStone’s big block retaining wall system. The lightweight, large units allow wall designers the flexible solutions with environmental benefits. The hollow core provides a plantable pocket to increase greenery and reduce the spread of heat island effect, commonly found in concrete surfaces.
Water Applications: MagnumStone’s hollow core offers internal vertical and horizontal drainage design advantages. This minimizes the effects of hydrostatic pressures behind the wall. MagnumStone’s wet-cast units provide durable 4,000 psi (27.5 MPa) concrete that’s resistant to freeze-thaw cycles and saturated conditions. MagnumStone blocks are optimal for stormwater management solutions including dry ponds, retention ponds and drainage channels.
