Retaining Walls

Conklin Limestone Company sells Versa-Lok® Retaining Wall Systems.  The Versa-Lok Retaining Wall System offers a permanent, attractive alternative to ordinary retaining wall types. Versa-Lok walls are constructed without mortar or concrete footings. Instead, the retaining wall units are simply stacked on a shallow, granular leveling pad. This method creates walls that are easy and economical to install. The walls are structurally stable, yet they remain "flexible" to tolerate minor earth movement without damage. Versa-Lok units are solid and made of concrete so they are durable, long lasting, and environmentally safe.  Call or email us today for additional information and pricing on our complete line of Versa-Lok Retaining Wall Systems.

Versa-Lok Standard Unit

Versa-Lok units are made from high-strength, low-absorption concrete using the same machines that make concrete blocks. Versa-Lok retaining wall units are solid and provide superior resistance to damage before, during, and after construction. Our units are manufactured to last a lifetime.   Versa-Lok units display an attractive, split-face texture and are available in a variety of colors.  Since each unit is integrally colored, the color will never chip off or peel. Once built, Versa-Lok retaining walls are virtually maintenance free.

Versa-Lok's unique shape, solid characteristics and pinning system provide design capabilities that are unmatched by any other retaining wall product.  Straight walls, inside curves, outside curves, various step configurations and an unlimited variety of corners can be constructed with the Versa-Lok standard retaining wall unit. Versa-Lok's unique design also permits construction of vertical and freestanding walls as well as straight or curved tiered walls. When custom-shaped pieces are desired, Versa-Lok units may be easily modified by saw cutting or splitting with a mallet and masonry chisel. Because the standard unit is used for all design elements, it is not necessary to order, estimate or purchase special units.

Versa-Lok walls adapt to every landscaping plan and their classic appearance complements any natural or architectural environment. They are well suited to residential projects, as well as walls exceeding 40 feet in height.  Because units are environmentally safe, they may even be used for shoreline applications.
