Questions and Answers for Pavestone 4 in. x 11.75 in. x 6.75 in. Buff Concrete Retaining Wall Block

A:  Hi Raul. Thank you for shopping at The Home Depot. The off set on the bottom of each block is about ½ inch. Each piece is 4 inches thick. For a 2-foot-high wall (24inches), you would use 6 blocks for this height. Since each block has a ½ inch offset, that would give you a total of a 3-inch total offset from top to bottom. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC

A:  Ridge goes on the bottom, so it will catch the back of the paver below

A:  It is supposed to go on the bottom. When you fill in the back with dirt, it helps them to lock in place. A dab of industrial adhesive will firm up the wall as well.

A:  Not sure about the 2 foot limit but I do know that each block has a lip on the back that you put behind the back edge of the block below it. I used 39 blocks to build a three layer circular wall for a fire pit. Each layer made the inside circle a little smaller. I bought a 36 in. diameter x 12 in. high metal fire ring to fit in the middle. The three layer block wal was also 12in. high.

A:  A gravity wall uses it self weigh to resist forces trying to overturn the wall, there is also a sliding force at the base they have calculated the load & used a safety factor to insure stabilty--

A:  Manufacturer / HD being conservative? I built 2 curved retaining walls up to 3.5 feet high. I used landscaping construction adhesive between layers. Lasted perfectly for three years so far. The lowest levels set in gravel with a little concrete mix.

A:  you would probably want your moat to be at least 70 feet in diameter, so 45' radius gives you a circumference of 282. I use 1.1 of these for every foot of circumference so 310 per layer. If you want the moat to be 4 feet tall you'll need 3720 of them

A:  Heck no. water will soak into it

A:  Yes we did.

A:  They work well for a fire pit. 10 of them fit together to make a circle, I used 30 for 3 layers. You will need to chisel the lip off of the back edges to make them lay flat.

A:  How many bricks on a pallet? How many linear feet does a pallet cover?

A:  I just got a pallet the other day. Should be 144... Mine had 142 unfortunately.
