The above photo is one of an elaborate Retaining Wall that was built with the Pyzique Stone.
The Pyzique Retaining Wall System is one of a kind. Because the small, lightweight block has the same rough texture on the front of block as it does on the back, the design capabilities are endless.
Landscapers and homeowners alike absolutely adore the design of this block once they start working with it. Great for retaining walls, planters, sitting walls, fire pits, among many other projects.
Please visit www.pyzique.com for more information on what makes the Pyzique Stone so great.
This project used the Paragon "Mesquite" Retaining Wall System which is a system we contract manufacture.
The Paragon "Mesquite" Retaining Wall System product is primarily used in large residential projects for site walls, between houses and in back yards.
Please contact us for more information on the Paragon Retaining Wall System product.
The most beautiful feature a retaining wall can offer is when it enhances nature itself.
The Quarry Stone, shown here used in making a fence and column, has many uses. The colors and the tumbling of the Quarry Stone give it a natural look, however, since it is a modular stone, it is very easy to install.
The Quarry Stone creates beautiful fences, columns, patios, driveways, planters and lawn edging.
Installation Notes:
Installation instructions are provided for your convenience. Additionally, using your project measurements, our professional staff will provide an estimation of the number of blocks required to complete your project.
Once the total number of blocks required is established, we can recommend a leveling base material and calculate the amount necessary for a successful retaining wall system.
Each project presents unique characteristics and challenges. We have provided creative solutions with an extensive product line since 1946.
Please contact us for further instruction on how to calculate the necessary block required or how to build the total wall with the different systems we have. Our experienced staff is available to assist you.
We are the proud manufacturer of a variety of retaining wall systems, including Paragon Retaining Wall Systems, Pyzique Retaining Wall Systems, and our own retaining wall system, the Cuesta. Both the Paragon and the Cuesta Retaining Wall Systems are "core-fill" systems.
Core fill systems are stabilized by adding crushed rock to inside of the block. The crushed rock works its way thru the wall and ties the whole wall together. The beauty of this design is the ability to turn corners both directions and flexibility of "set back" (placement of block further back on the block below anchoring the wall towards embankment). Installers have opportunity for creativity without impairing the wall's structural integrity.
For more information or installation instructions on any of these wall systems, please contact us.
