NEW: concrete retaining wall by Soil Retention
The VERDURA® retaining wall system was created with the do-it-yourselfer in mind. The name VERDURA® comes from VERdant (green with vegetation) combined with DURAbility. VERDURA® offers the opportunity to create "living walls"; providing the strength and function of a standard retaining wall plus the added ability to sustain live plantings. The blocks are made of low moisture absorbing concrete that will not deteriorate over time. A strong lip on the block interlocks the units, allowing for compaction right behind the blocks, and holding the soil inside the block.
Installation is quick and easy. No waiting for poured concrete to cure – VERDURA® allows the wall to be built as you backfill. The blocks are typically spaced apart to allow for planting, requiring fewer blocks per square foot compared to other wall systems. For edging, borders, or non-planted walls you can also butt up the blocks.
The VERDURA® line of products offers something for just about everybody. The lightweight VERDURA® 10 is ideal for small garden beds, edging, or tree rings while the VERDURA® 30 can achieve higher retaining wall applications. Whether you're a looking to create a vertical herb garden or to economically terrace a hillside, this specialized, fully plantable, segmental retaining wall system provides the solution to a wide variety of design challenges. Because of its inherent strength, ease of installation and ability to be completely planted, VERDURA® has been the wall of choice for nearly 20 years.
