Allan Block Stones

Moscow Landscaping installed the walls on this phase of the project.

The homeowner did an excellent job of laying out the radius on the wall. He also built in some steps to access the patio and deck.

A.M. Landshaper created some very straight horizontal lines in this wall.

A.M. Landshaper installed the wall for the golf course.

The road coming into their place was very steep and had a big hump in it making it difficult to get to their cabin.

Buzz removed the hump and regraded the road to make it easier to drive.

He also leveled out a larger area at the cabin to create a better parking area. He used the AB Stones and AB Grid to hold the hill that supports the driveway to the cabin.

The owners also wanted more usable yard space in their backyard that overlooks the lake.

Buzz used the AB Jrs to create a little more room for them.

The project required cutting back the sloping bank to give the owners more back yard space.

Using the Allan Block Stones in the Tan color, they built the retaining walls using geogrid to add stability to the soil behind the wall.

With the creativity, knowledge and experiance that the Altenberg team has, this is one beautiful project that has exceeded the expectations of the project owners.

The purpose of the 208 swale area is to collect water run-off from the asphalted areas and provide a place for the water to drain. Typically a drywell is installed underground for this purpose.

The Sleeve-It system is a new product that allows placement of the product during wall construction. After the wall is built, the fence contractor comes in and grouts the Sleeve-It unit and sets his fence post. It is an engineered product that maintains the integrity of the geogrid behind the wall.

Mark used the Allan Block Classic with a 6 degree setback to create the needed space. The Shadow Blend color is a great accent to the plants & gravel mulch.

This was a challenging project of for the builder.

The property owners wanted a rancher style house on the property. The site had a lot of fill material from other construction sites in the neighborhood.

The builder had to remove the fill then build the wall & backfill as the wall went up.

The design called for a fair amount of grid as the wall & reinforced soil provide support to the new house being built.

Because of the grade changes, they needed a retaining wall to build up the patio area.

They used the Allan Block Stones 12 Degree setback to create a strong wall that can hold up the new patio.

The built in stairs create a nice access way to the lawn area and the lake.

The property needed to be graded out to give the homeowners more space in their back yard.

The Allan Block Stones Retaining Wall Block offered a great solution to level out the yard.

This project needed a retaining wall to carve out a flat area in the back yard to create a space for a paver patio.

The Allan Block Stones 12 degree setback offered the best solution. With a wall height of 6 feet, they utilized the AB 4'x50' geogrid to add more stability to the native soils behind the wall.

Hard Rock Stone Co. stepped in to finish the project.

The first phase was finished in mid March. Since then, the footings for most of the buildings have been built and the retaining walls need to be installed before the rest of the building is framed out & completed.

The tallest section of wall is near 13 feet.

Because of the slopes, loads and wall heights, geogrid reinforcement was used throughout the wall.
