The Allan Block stacks beautifully and creates a smooth and fluid finish for every wall, bringing a refined look of classic natural beauty to any landscape. It is easy to install, durable, cost-effective and, best of all, it looks great.
Expect high performance with the first-ever segmental retaining wall system that has conducted full-scale seismic testing.
