Install Guidance
Start on a compacted aggregate base, dead level and wide enough for the wall and drain zone. Backfill with clean drainage stone and pipe as required. Place units tight, brush joints, and check level and batter every course. Add geogrid per engineered plans and local code. Cut ends as needed for tight fits and finish with adhesive-set caps after final compaction.
Maintain appearance with occasional rinsing; spot-treat efflorescence as needed. For stamped drawings, load tables, and exact dimensions, consult the project engineer or the manufacturer’s regional spec sheet.
