FAQ about Retaining Wall Blocks

The best blocks for a retaining wall are interlocking concrete blocks, which are designed to fit together easily and securely without the need for mortar. They are strong and durable and can be used to create a variety of shapes and heights. Additionally, they can be filled with gravel to provide additional strength and stability. Read about how to choose your retaining wall here.

Retaining walls can be a great DIY project. Depending on the size and design of your retaining wall, they can be built yourself. At APC, we have a range of DIY friendly retaining wall products. We recommend concrete retaining wall blocks which are interlocking and the weight of blocks are easier to handle. Proper preparation is key and it’s important to take your time when building your wall. Before starting your project, we recommend speaking with one of our expert staff who can help talk your through your project.

Retaining walls are better than concrete sleepers for a few reasons. Firstly, retaining wall blocks are available in various shapes, sizes, colours and textures, allowing for more design possibilities than concrete sleepers. Blocks have an easier installation process than sleepers and only require one person to handle and install them, making the job easier. While sleepers are difficult, heavy to move, and need multiple people to handle and install them. Blocks also cost less than sleepers, so they are a more affordable option for many homeowners. Read our blog post for more information on why retaining wall blocks are better than concrete sleepers.

Retaining walls under 800mm may not require a structural engineer. Retaining walls that are over 1m may require a structural engineer, depending on location and the type of soil it needs to retain.
