Why Terraforce
1. You can create a Living wall
The unique hollow-core design allows you to make plants a part of your wall and allows water to drain back into the ground. Use low-water-use plants to create a landscape that’s sustainable.
2. Durability
Concrete will not rot or weaken over time.
3. Mortarless and interlocking systems
The blocks are simply dry stacked, doing away with the need for mortar, providing a cost effective, quick and simple to build, retaining wall.
4. Layout flexibility
The half moon shape of the interlocking ends of the blocks easily handles convex and concave curves. The wall profile can vary from near vertical for slopes up to 45 degrees.
5. Colours and textures
The blocks are reversible with a smooth rounded finish on one side with a flat rock face finish on the opposite side. The block is available in grey, buff and red.
6. Easy to use
The blocks are lightweight, 22 kg, for easy delivery, handling and installation.
Does the TERRAFORCE system support planting?
Yes it does. The hollow core design allows you to make plants a part of your wall and allows water to drain back into the ground.
Can I do it myself?
Yes you can. The blocks are lightweight, 22 kg, for easy delivery, handling and installation
Is mortar required?
No, mortar is not required. The blocks are dry stacked with the interlocking system providing the strength to the structure.
Do I need geo-fabric?
This will depend on the design of your wall. We can provide a construction drawing, at a nominal cost, once we know your requirements.
Can I create contours and features?
Yes. There are several images on this site to give ideas for using TERRAFORCE blocks creatively. Steps can be built by simply reversing the standard TERRAFORCE retainer blocks so that the flat area is facing forward.
Are TERRAFORCE blocks cost effective?
They are. Generally it can be assumed that retaining walls can be built at a cost of about 70% of what a conventional retaining wall would cost.
Are TERRAFORCE blocks eco-friendly?
Most definitely. The blocks are light to handle and transport, free of toxic preservatives and once completed with suitable planting, can provide food and shelter for many birds and insects.
What maintenance is required?
Your TERRAFORCE wall is maintenance free.
Is Terraforce a proven system?
It is. TERRAFORCE have been manufacturing the TERRAFORCE range of retaining blocks for over 35 years. The product is now manufactured, and retaining walls constructed, in several countries on five continents.
