Stonebloc is a gravity retaining wall system. At the heart of the system is a solid concrete retaining wall block with a unique interlocking design which provides a shear key in both horizontal directions. This means Stonebloc retaining blocks lock together with ease and stay together.
Stonebloc is designed around the concept of timeless retaining - fast installation with minimal labour input, future proofed aesthetics, and comprehensive engineering. The result is a system that delivers the speed and durability of precast concrete at a timber price point.
Stonebloc’s unique split stone finish future-proofs the aesthetics of your wall - stone never goes out of fashion. Our solid concrete retaining wall blocks deliver long lasting durability.
Stonebloc retaining wall blocks self align and lock together with ease meaning two people can install up to 120m2 of wall per day. In good ground conditions minimal foundation preparation is required.
Stonebloc retaining wall system has been independently tested by the university of auckland school of engineering. Our consent ready designs use convention engineering principles and cover walls 0-12kPa and up to 2m high.

Stonebloc retaining wall blocks were designed from the get go to be the timber retaining wall alternative. By this we mean Stonebloc delivers a better looking, stronger, and more durable retaining wall at a timber price point.
How do we do this? Through great product design. Our design approach is guided by the power of simplicity, because simple products are fast to learn and easy to use.
Think giant LEGO and you’ll start to appreciate how easy Stonebloc is to use. Installation means simply stacking the blocks on top of each other in a running bond pattern.
- Timber and associated material costs have increased an average of 20% driven by constrained supply and unprecedented demand. These factors have also led to significant blow-outs in lead times.
- Skilled labour shortages and regulatory changes have led to an average 12.5% increase in labour costs.
- Stonebloc’s investment in research and development through independent testing undertaken by the University of Auckland’s Engineering Schoolled to a reduction in foundation requirements, reducing material costs.
Through the simplicity of its design, Stonebloc can adapt to work with a variety of lot sizes, from small to large.
Infill housing developments have limited space and a tight build programme. Stonebloc walls can be progressively and quickly built using existing labour and equipment resources onsite, providing unparalleled flexibility.
Unprecedented housing demand requires maximum land utilisation and fast build times. Stonebloc’s vertical walls on the boundary, speed of build, and high aesthetic value ticks all the boxes.
Commercial developments require walls that can withstand high load surcharges, and meet tight project timelines. Stonebloc generic designs cover loads up to 12kpa, with project specific designs allowing up to 24kpa.
Our unique and flexible manufacturing system allows us to provide a high degree of customisation, including unique facial designs and coloured concrete.
