Redi-Rock started with a couple of brothers who had a heavy construction business and a customer that needed a retaining wall in 1999. Like true entrepreneurs, the brothers said, "Sure, we can do a retaining wall." And when they got back to their office, they started working on an entirely new way to do retaining walls. The idea the brothers sketched on a napkin created a niche in the retaining wall marketplace. Their idea was to create a massive retaining wall block - larger than anything on the market at the time by orders of magnitude.
Redi-Rock gravity walls rely on massive concrete blocks to hold up the earth. The gravity wall system is an engineered retaining wall solution that relies on the weight of massive, one-ton blocks to retain the earth. Redi-Rock Positive Connection (PC) System for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls provide superior connection strength. See why engineers are so excited about the PC System here! Redi-Rock blocks look good. That's because each block is cast in a mold taken from real natural stone.
This manual is simplified, optimized, and focused to help make your job easier. It includes a detailed block library of every block in the Redi-Rock arsenal, an installation manual, construction details, FAQs, and more. A presentation is a great way to learn about the solutions available with Redi-Rock, including the technical details you need to get started designing Redi-Rock walls. Our knowledgeable staff can coordinate in-person or online meetings with PDH hours to meet your team's needs. Redi-Rock offers a free, robust software program from Fine software, the developers of the GEO5 geotechnical suite of software, to help build confidence in your retaining wall designs.
Redi-Rock columns are a great way to finish the top of a Redi-Rock wall, to create a fence or barrier, or to create a sign, post, or gate. These blocks are so big, it only takes a few of them to make a complete column. Simply prepare your base course, stack, add a cap, and you're done! Columns are available in Ledgestone or Cobblestone texture. Contact your local retailer for color options. With Redi-Rock steps, it's easy to design and build a curving staircase with the look of natural stone. See how this home created a spiral staircase using Redi-Rock step blocks.
Freestanding walls are above-grade and are textured on 2 or more sides, so you can have a great looking freestanding wall that coordinates with your retaining wall. Or, it can stand on its own. When you're looking to polish off a wall, create a barrier, or even just a place for people to park themselves, freestanding blocks are where it's at. As extension of the Redi-Rock system or a standalone use, these suckers aren't going anywhere! For its pull a rabbit out of a hat potential, we've dubbed this the Magic block!
The heart and soul of the Redi-Rock® Positive Connection (PC) System for MSE walls is a massive amount of connection strength. There's virtually no chance of a connection failure with the PC System because the grid wraps through the block. Not only are Redi-Rock PC blocks backed by proven engineering, they are cast in molds taken from real natural stone, making them beautiful to look at. Your local retailer can help you choose color options that match your landscape. Ledgestone blocks give projects a random, stacked stone look with up to 115 square feet (10.5 square meters) of non-repeating texture available.
