Frequently Asked Questions

Gardenwall Standard Retaining Wall Blocks are hexagonal retaining blocks available in Charcoal, Light Sand, and Beach, and are suitable for creating both straight and curved retaining walls. This traditional block has been a popular choice among Brisbane homeowners for many years and can be found in both modern and established homes across the city.

They are commonly used to create garden retaining walls, raised garden beds, lawn and garden borders, tiered landscaping areas, and level areas in sloped gardens.

Gardenwall Standard Retaining Wall Blocks are suitable for retaining walls up to 1 metre high without reinforcement in ideal conditions, with standard installation guidelines applying.

The suitable height for your project will also depend on factors such as soil conditions, drainage requirements, site conditions, and the design of the retaining wall.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer's specifications for your specific project and check with your local council regarding retaining wall requirements.

Gardenwall Standard Retaining Wall Blocks are installed by creating a stable foundation and building the wall course by course. The general installation process includes:

  1. Preparing and levelling a compacted base.
  2. Installing the first row of blocks accurately.
  3. Stacking additional courses while maintaining alignment.
  4. Installing drainage material behind the wall where required.
  5. Backfilling with suitable material.

Note: We recommend following the manufacturer's installation instructions for the specific requirements of your project. The guide above provides a general overview of the installation process.

The number of Gardenwall Standard Retaining Wall Blocks required depends on the length and height of your retaining wall. Each block measures 295 × 203 × 125mm, with approximately 26.9 blocks required per face square metre.

To calculate the quantity required, measure the total length and height of your retaining wall to determine the wall's face area in square metres. Multiply the total face area by 26.9 blocks per square metre to estimate the number of blocks required.

For example, a wall measuring 5m long × 0.625m high has a face area of 3.125m² and would require approximately 84 blocks before allowing for wastage.

Note: We recommend allowing approximately 5–10% extra blocks for cuts, breakages, installation adjustments, and future replacements.
