PLANNING
YOUR
RETAININGWall
WALL
PROJECT
PLANNING YOUR
Retaining
Project
Choose your retaining wall block and color; then:
1.Estimate the number of courses of block in your finished wall.
Bury half of the first course for walls one, two or three courses high.
Bury the first full course if wall is four courses or higher.
WALL ESTIMATING CHARTS
3" Flagstone
3. Determine the total cubic feet of paver base needed by
multiplying the number of linear feet of wall times 0.4 cubic foot.
This will give you a 4 in. deep base, 14 in. wide. Please refer to specific
product information for recommended base depth.
4" Flagstone & 4" RiverstoneTM
CarltonTM
Total wall linear ft. ____ x 0.4 cubic foot = ____ total cubic ft. paver base.
2.Determine number of blocks needed by multiplying the total number
of blocks per course by the number of courses.
Length of wall in inches _______ x Height of wall in inches _______
= Total square inches = _______.
Total square inches divided by 144 = _________ square feet of wall
Divide wall square feet:
by 0.56 for 5"Riverstone™ = _______ blocks.
by 0.33 for 4"Flagstone / 4"Riverstone™ / Windsor Stone® = _______ blocks.
by 0.67 for Diamond® Beveled = _______ blocks.
by 0.72 for Diamond® Straight = _______ blocks.
by 0.19 for 3" Flagstone = _______ blocks.
by 0.21 for Carlton™ = _______ blocks.
Example: 10 linear feet of wall x 0.4 cubic foot = 4 cubic feet of
paver base. (1 cubic foot = 120 lbs.)
4.Calculate the amount of drainage aggregate that you’ll need
behind the wall.
Total linear ft. of wall x height ____ x 0.5 cubic foot = ____ total cubic feet of
drainage aggregate. This will give you 6 in. of drainage aggregate
behind the wall.
Example: 10 ft. long x 2 ft. high x 0.5 = 10 cubic feet of drainage
aggregate behind the wall. (1 cubic foot = 120 lbs.)
5.Figure the total cost of your project using the Costing Worksheet.

INSTALLING YOUR WALL PROJECT
Do • it • yourself
Retaining Wall Installation
1. Stake Out/Remove Sod
2. Add & Compact Gravel
3. Level Base
4. Lay and Level Blocks
5. Add Drainage Aggregate
6. Split/Cut Block
7. Mark & Cut Cap
8. Glue Cap
1. Begin by laying out the wall. Use stakes with a string line or a
garden hose (excellent for curved walls) to mark the location of the
back of the wall. Use the information below to determine the size of the
trench needed, and then dig the trench.
The width of the trench should be twice the depth (front to back)
of the block.
• For block that is 5.5 inches high make the trench 11 inches wide.
• For block that is 6 inches high make the trench 12 inches wide.
• For block that is 7 inches high make the trench 14 inches wide.
• For block that is 12 inches high make the trench 24 inches wide. Trench depth:
• For walls under 24 inches high (including the base course), make the
trench deep enough to bury half of the block of the first course plus
4 inches of compacted base material.
Example: for 4-inch-high block, dig a trench 6 inches deep.
• For walls over 24 inches high (including the base course), make the
trench deep enough to bury a full block of the first course plus 6 inches
of base material.
Example: for 6-inch-high block, dig a trench 12 inches deep.
If your property slopes, start the trench at the lowest point and step the
trench up or down as necessary, making sure that at least half of the firstcourse block will be buried.
2. Remove loose soil and firmly compact the soil in the bottom of
the trench with the tamper. Add a layer of base material in the
bottom of the trench; rake out and firmly compact. Base material can
be paver base or an equivalent to ¾-inch minus (with fines) aggregate.
Use the appropriate amount of base material for the height of the wall
you are building.
3. Use a carpenter’s level to level base material from front to back and side
to side, check the level every few feet. Add more base material and repeat the
process as needed until appropriate base depth is achieved. The more level
the base material, the easier it is to level the block when building the wall.
4. Use a hammer and chisel to remove the rear lips from all blocks for
the first course. Position the individual blocks side by side on the prepared
base so that the front edges of the block are touching and the back edge aligns
with the string line. Level block in both directions, adjusting with the rubber
mallet if necessary. Begin next course by laying a block with the rear lip facing
down, in a staggered relationship to the course beneath (running bond). Pull
each block forward until the lip is securely in contact with the blocks below.
Check each course for level before continuing and make adjustments with a
rubber mallet. Repeat the process until you reach the desired wall height.
5. Place filter fabric directly behind the wall extending from the bottom
of the first course to the middle of the top course. Fill behind each
course with drainage aggregate (such as ¾-inch free draining) that
extends 6 inches behind the wall. Compact aggregate with tamper.
Organic soil or clay-type soil is not recommended for backfill material.
6. You may need to cut or split blocks for your project.
• To split a block: Use a hammer and chisel to score the block on all sides. Pound the chisel on the score line until the block splits.
• To cut a block: Use a circular saw with a masonry blade.
• To cut a 90-degree mitered corner: Use a circular saw with a masonry blade. Cut a 45-degree angle on two blocks. Glue cut sides together with exterior-grade concrete adhesive so the two
faces form the finished outside corner.
7. To cap the wall, slide the cap forward so the face of the cap
overhangs the face of the wall approximately 1 inch. For capping
curves, trim the caps to follow the radius of the wall. Place a cap at the
beginning of the curve, skip a space and place the next cap in the third
position. Rest a cap on top of the original two, aligning the face with
the adjacent caps. Mark the bottom of the cap along the edges
(as shown in illustration 7). Use a circular saw with a masonry blade to cut
the marked cap. On a 90-degree corner, two caps need to be saw-cut
to achieve a 45-degree mitered corner. At the end of the wall, cut the
cap so the manufactured edge is exposed and the cut edge is against
the next cap.
8. Use an exterior concrete construction adhesive to secure the caps.
Always wear eye protection when splitting blocks.
Read and understand the operating manual before using a saw.

1. Begin by laying out the wall. Use stakes with a
string line or a garden hose (excellent for curved walls) to mark the
location of the back of the wall. Make the trench 16 inch wide and
4-5 inches deep.

6. Fill joints by sweeping additional play sand over the
patio. Remove remaining play sand from the top of
the project. If using the Natural Impressions®
Foot Notes® patio stone set, you can substitute
polymeric joint sand for play sand to inhibit weed
growth between stones.

2. Remove loose soil and firmly compact the soil in the
bottom of the trench with the tamper. Add a 3-inch layer of base
material in the bottom of the trench; rake out and firmly compact.
Base material can be paver base or an equivalent to 3⁄4-inch
minus (with fines) aggregate.
3. Use a carpenter’s level to level the surface from front to back and
side to side, checking level every few feet. Add more base material and repeat process as needed until appropriate base depth
is achieved. Keep in mind, the more level the base material, the
easier it is to level the block when building the wall.
