Recommended depth: 2–3" for decorative beds, 4" for high-traffic paths, 6"+ for drainage swales.

Common retaining block face sizes: 12" × 4", 18" × 6", 18" × 8". Walls over 4 ft typically require engineering and geogrid.

Wall face
Length × height of visible wall face.

Aggregate tonnage calculator

Length × width × depth → cubic yards and tons for any bulk material.

Density used: 105 lbs/ft³ · Price: $32.00/ton. Wet material and dense-graded base can run 10–15% heavier.
