WHICH BLOCK DO I CHOOSE

It is always best to consult your nearest supplier or installer to make sure you have chosen the best type of block for your particular project. Please also note that your local supplier does not necessarily stock the full range of GreenLock products. Each block in the GreenLock range has its own aesthetic appeal and engineered advantages. The choice as to which block to choose can be divided into five categories:

Plantable or Unplantable Retaining Walls.

The GreenLock soil retaining blocks require no maintenance and are suitable to be planted or left unplanted.

Easthetic Design

Each block creates its own distinctive design pattern.

The S12 creates a wall which is either fluted or plain.

The R12 creates an aesthetically pleasing rockface finish.

The V12 creates a wave like appearance which can be varied in a number of ways.

The VR18 is ideal for the DIY market due to it’s size and weight. The VR18 has a dual face, either a rockface or V12 looking front face.

Technical advantages
