Natural Look, Engineered Function
Whether you are searching for a solution for your backyard retaining wall or a complete landscape makeover, Redi-Scapes is a wall solution worth considering.
Choosing the right hardscape wall for your project can be daunting. You want the up-scale look of natural rock wall, but you also want a structural wall that can be engineered and installed quickly. That’s why we’ve developed Redi-Scapes - to give you the best of both worlds.
Engineering Resources
Use these design resources to get started on your Redi-Scapes transformation.
Design Charts
Redi-Scapes design charts give you the ability to understand the capability of the product. Each chart gives examples of three soil types and three loading conditions to help you determine how to engineer your wall. These charts also tell you how much geogrid the wall will require. These charts are preliminary and not for construction purposes.
