How It Works
The Process
Layout & Quote
We walk the site, confirm the wall layout and height requirements, and give you a straight quote covering block supply, base prep, and placement.
Base Prep & Grade
Foundation area excavated and graded. Compacted base installed so the wall has a stable, level footing. This is where the work is done properly or not at all.
Block Placement
Block placed level, plumb, and tight. Wall built to the height and configuration your application requires. Site cleaned up and handed off.
Common Questions
FAQ
What is lock block?
Lock block is a large interlocking concrete block used for retaining walls, bin dividers, material storage walls, and perimeter containment. Each block weighs around 1,500 to 2,000 kg. They interlock without mortar and can be stacked to significant heights for heavy-duty applications.
What can lock block walls hold back?
Lock block retaining walls handle serious lateral loads including soil, gravel, aggregate, and other bulk materials. They are commonly used in industrial yards where wheel loaders and heavy equipment push material against the wall daily.
Do you supply the block or just install?
We handle both. Block supply, delivery, base preparation, and placement are all included. One call, one contractor.
How high can lock block walls go?
Height depends on the application and load requirements. We will advise on the right configuration for your specific site and use case when we quote.
Do you do residential retaining walls with lock block?
Yes. Lock block is a practical and cost-effective option for residential retaining applications where the load or height requires something more substantial than timber or smaller modular block.
