Build Your Wall

Economical and easy to install, Shea Retaining Walls feature a unique locking system that permits walls as high as 12' without a geo-grid. Each block is made from wet-cast, air-entrained concrete with a minimum PSI of 3,000 for incredible strength and durability that exceeds industry standards. With a standard face size of 48" x 16", place just one block and you have installed 5.33 sq. ft. of retaining wall. And, since no mortar is needed, the blocks stack up quickly.
