Retaining
Walls - Segmental Units
|
|
Another material
available for retaining walls are segmental units. These are
also known as pre fabricated concrete units. Miller Nursery
uses Rockwood brand retaining wall units for all of the segmental
walls built by the Nursery. We feel that the Rockwood System
offers the best locking, has the most effective drainage system,
and is the easiest to install. Rockwood offers the units in
three sizes. Four inch, six inch, and eight inch units are available
in straight face or beveled. Each block has a lip on the bottom
of the block that provides a setback and acts as a locking system.
This allows the wall to step back into the hill naturally and
uniformly. The very top layer of the wall is made of cap units.
This is a solid unit that creates a smooth top layer and gives
the wall a finished look. With proper construction and reinforcements,
a wall can be built to forty feet in height. Also, Rockwood
offers the units in gray, brown, sandstone, hunter tan, and
charcoal.
