Segmental retaining walls consist of modular retaining wall blocks that interlock with each other. They are used to hold back a sloping face of soil to provide a solid, vertical front. Apex masonry has a range of segmental retaining wall block walls in different shapes, colours & sizes, they can either be vertical walls (they stack directly on top of each other) or setback walls (they ÔÇ£lean backÔÇØ each course the wall gets higher).

Concrete Retaining Wall Blocks
Are retaining walls DIY friendly? Retaining walls can be a great DIY project. Depending on the size and design of your retaining wall, it can be built by yourself. At Apex Masonry, we have a range of DIY-friendly retaining wall products. We recommend concrete retaining wall blocks that are interlocking and the weight of blocks are easier to handle. Proper preparation is key and it’s important to take your time when building your wall. Before starting your landscaping, we recommend speaking with one of our expert staff who can help talk you through.
Do concrete block retaining walls need footings?
Every retaining wall needs a footing, but what type depends on the design, the material, the height, and the weight of the wall. To find out more about what you need to do to create a footing for walls in your project, ask the friendly team at Apex Masonry.
Are concrete footings required?
No, the footing is not a structural component of a retaining wall. A footing acts as a leveling pad for dry-stacked retaining wall blocks. This is one of the benefits of a dry-stacked gravity retaining wall block, making them faster and more cost-effective to use.
What is the easiest retaining wall to build?
For do-it-yourselfers, the easiest retaining walls to build are ones using concrete masonry blocks that are stacked no taller than 600mm. Concrete retaining walls have the best stability and durability. Apex Masonry has a range of concrete masonry retaining wall blocks that can be engineered with concrete core fill.
