Claim:
An engineered block for a landscape wall comprising: a front face; a rear face; first and second sidewalls extending between said front and rear faces; a top surface extending between upper ends of said front and rear faces; a bottom surface extending between lower ends of said front and rear faces; a stepped cavity formed in said top surface of said engineered block, said stepped cavity being located adjacent said front face of said engineered block and including a first step having a first horizontal surface spaced a first distance from said top surface of said engineered block, and a second step, adjacent said first step, having a second horizontal surface spaced a second distance from said top surface of said engineered block that is less than the first distance: wherein said first and second horizontal surfaces of said first and second steps are parallel to said top surface of said engineered block; and wherein said stepped cavity further comprises a first interior sidewall that extends between said first horizontal surface and said top surface of said engineered block, and an opposing second interior sidewall that extends between said first horizontal surface and said second horizontal surface, and wherein said first and second interior sidewalls are parallel to one another and perpendicular to said top surface of said engineered block.
