EP Henry Wall Blocks are designed for building strong, space-saving retaining walls in tight areas. Their vertical orientation allows for efficient use of land, making them ideal for small yards, garden beds, or commercial spaces where every inch counts. These blocks are a practical choice for landscapers, contractors, and homeowners who need a reliable way to manage slopes and create clean, organized outdoor spaces.
PRODUCT NOTES
Vertica is also available in 12” D unit with 4˚ batter by special order.
TECHNICAL FORMULAS/NOTES
• 1 piece = 1 sf of wall face
• Minimum outside radius = 48″ (from back of block)
• Maximum unreinforced wall height is 48″ (without geogrid)
• For walls over 48” high, EP Henry recommends that you consult a Professional Engineer
Standard gravity wall blocks like EP Henry Vertica, EP Henry Diamond Pro, and NewLine Regal Stone support unreinforced heights up to 4 feet (48 inches). Taller unreinforced heights can be achieved using oversized hollow-core systems like EP Henry Verti-Block (up to 14 feet) or half-ton blocks like Techo-Bloc Skyscraper. For standard blocks, consult a structural engineer for walls exceeding 4 feet.
Blocks rely on specialized connection methods. Systems like NewLine Regal Stone use an integral rear lip for automatic setback without extra parts. Pinned systems like NewLine COMPAC and Stonegate utilize fiberglass pins to align courses, while interlocking core units like Techo-Bloc Semma use a 4-core system filled with gravel alongside independent mechanical interlocks.
Near-vertical wall systems like EP Henry Vertica are built for tight spaces and steep slopes. Their near-vertical orientation allows you to retain soil efficiently without taking up excess yard footprint or encroaching on property boundaries.
Hollow-core blocks (such as Regal Stone Pro, Verti-Block, and COMPAC) are lighter to handle and deliver high surface-area coverage per unit. Filling the internal open cores with crushed stone aggregate increases shear strength, enhances drainage behind the wall face, and locks the courses together.
Single-sided blocks have one finished face and are cost-effective choices for walls backed against soil where only the front is visible. Double-sided blocks (such as Techo-Bloc Semma, Graphix, and Travertina Raw) feature finished textures on both sides, allowing a structural retaining wall to transition into a freestanding parapet or patio wall.
You can select modern 3D profiles like Techo-Bloc Graphix with varying depths and smooth-to-chiseled faces, contemporary sleek lines with Techo-Bloc Mini-Creta Architectural, or wet-cast options like Techo-Bloc Travertina Raw, which replicates natural travertine while offering superior durability in freeze-thaw climates.
Yes. Blocks with tapered sides or shortened tail designs (like COMPAC, Semma, and Vertica) allow you to build smooth inside and outside curves. Standard structural units generally accommodate a minimum inside or outside radius of 48 inches from the back of the block.
Segmental wall blocks come with reliable shipping and a 30-day return guarantee. Because heavy block units ship on commercial freight pallets, personalized shipping quotes are calculated by phone or direct request before finalizing your order.
