Installation How to Install Redi-Rock Wall Systems When it comes to installing Redi-Rock retaining walls and gravity retaining wall systems, there are a number of variables, as well as, engineering characteristics that need to be addressed and considered with regards to your site and wall location. We have found Redi-Rock installs easier, faster, and just plain better than any other retaining wall system on the market. Build Higher Gravity Walls with Less Land Disruption Because Redi-Rock is bigger and heavier than small block systems, it is more stable and can be built higher before requiring geo-grid or tie-back systems. Because Redi-Rock gravity walls can be built higher, less land disruption is required. The blocks are bigger than normal but with a piece of equipment, the blocks actually build faster than most smaller systems occupying more space faster and easier. Each Redi-Rock block occupies 5.75 sq. ft of space per facing block. Because a machine does most of the work, usually only a small crew of 1-2 is needed depending on the job site saving you labor and time.
