AB® Ashlar Blend Segmental Retaining Wall
Creating patterned walls with AB® Ashlar Blend blocks is a great way to enhance your landscape’s beauty and functionality. These blocks offer a balance of style and performance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. AB® Ashlar Blend is achieved by combining four block shapes from The AB Collection – AB Classic, AB Jumbo Junior, AB Lite Stones, and AB Junior Lite. These different block shapes allow you to create visually appealing patterns and textures in your walls. These patterned walls mimic the appearance of hand-laid stone walls, adding a dramatic and visually appealing dimension to your landscape. The AB Ashlar Collection offers an elegant and classic look that can enhance any outdoor space.
The blocks in the AB Collection are designed to be sturdy and long-lasting. They are meant to fit together easily without the need for mortar or footings, making installation straightforward. The AB Collection can be used in both residential and commercial settings. Whether you’re building a garden wall or creating a retaining wall to provide more space in your yard, these blocks offer versatility in design and function.
It’s crucial to consider safety and engineering aspects when building walls, especially if they exceed 900mm in height or support additional loads like driveways, buildings, or slopes. Seeking engineering advice in such cases is highly recommended to ensure the wall’s stability and safety.

Building Patterned Retaining Walls
Retaining Walls can be built with one single block shape or with many block shapes to create beautiful wall patterns. A patterned retaining wall uses multiple block shapes and sizes to capture the look of hand-laid stone.
