Abstract:
A modular block retaining wall construction system with a plurality of blocks. Each of the plurality of blocks include (i) a front wall defining a face surface, (ii) a pair of exterior sidewalls extending from the front wall, (iii) an exterior rear wall extending partially between the pair of exterior sidewalls, (iv) an interior rear wall extending partially between the pair of exterior sidewalls and spaced between the front surface and the exterior rear wall, (v) a pair of interior sidewalls extending between the exterior rear wall and the interior rear wall, and (vi) a divider extending from the interior rear wall, extending between the pair of interior sidewalls, and partially defining a plurality of channels. In this manner, each channel can be filled with a predetermined amount of material, e.g., gravel, to facilitating proper drainage of liquid, e.g., water, from the soil and/or other material retained by the retaining wall of the present inventive concept.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of forming a retaining wall using a plurality of modular blocks, the method comprising the steps of:\n forming a first portion by placing a first set of modular blocks along a first row, each of the modular blocks having (i) a front wall defining a face surface, (ii) a pair of exterior sidewalls extending from the front wall, (iii) an exterior rear wall extending partially between the pair of exterior sidewalls, (iv) an interior rear wall extending partially between the pair of exterior sidewalls and spaced between the front wall and the exterior rear wall, and (v) a pair of interior sidewalls extending between the exterior rear wall and the interior rear wall defining at least one channel; filling a first space defined by each channel of the first set of the modular blocks; forming a second portion by placing a second set of the modular blocks along a second row; and filling a second space defined by each channel of the second set of the modular blocks.
