Rib Rock™ Landscape Block is a popular and affordable solution for challenging terrace and slope applications. Rib Rock units can be used to construct walls from 6 to 20 feet high with site-specific engineering. This article covers the way in which Rib Rock Landscape Block can benefit your next commercial or residential project.
Efficient Installation
According to a Man Power Group U.S. Talent Shortage Survey, last year was the seventh consecutive year that vacancies in the skilled trades, such as landscaping, were the hardest jobs to fill. Many contractors are seeking installation efficiencies as a solution to the lack of available applicants and skilled laborers. Rib Rock can speed up installation time on the job site because of their larger size and easy-to-install design. Their larger size allows for more square foot coverage per block and reduces the amount of reinforcing grid required compared to smaller retaining wall systems.
Conveniently embedded rebar hoops make handling and lifting the blocks with mechanical equipment an easy task for smaller crews. Rib Rock units are manufactured with a knob and channel system that, with no additional labor, firmly locks units into place and creates an automatic two-inch set back, necessary in taller wall applications. Corner units also facilitate building 90-degree corners and angled walls.
Ideal for Commercial and Residential Projects
Whether they are used to construct small or large walls, Rib Rock enhances the overall look of any project and offers lasting strength and durability. With two natural looking face textures, Rib Rock creates an appealing looking wall that is popular in both commercial and residential applications. Units are available in full 48” wide blocks and 24” half blocks; both offer ease-of-assembly and can be installed together to create a running-bond. A top cap is also available for a clean finished look.
