Block or natural stone walls?

Segmental block is engineered and cost effective for structural walls. Natural stone suits decorative and lower walls. We recommend based on your site.

Why is drainage behind the wall important?

Water pressure behind a wall causes failure. We always install drainage aggregate and pipe so hydrostatic pressure does not build up.
