• It’s lightweight – Because it’s a two-piece system, lifting and installing AB Fieldstone exerts less manpower and increases efficiency. Simply slide the anchoring units into the back of the facing ones to complete the solid block.
• It has a vast, stylistic variety – AB Fieldstone is the only AB Retaining wall product with four different block faces to choose from. The Heritage and Colonial Series boasts a chiseled, eye-catching appearance, whereas the Sierra and Cascade Series has a much smoother look.
• It adapts in many site conditions – Taller gravity walls are made possible with the Long Anchoring Units, or LAU’s. Longer, heavier anchors mean more stability with height, even when geogrid isn’t being used.
• It’s designed with built in corners, as well as height control – This makes any cornered wall designs simple with no cutting needed, as well as less headache with general course progression. Both facing unit sizes, the 812 and 824, regardless of which AB Fieldstone Series, are the same height.

• It has the natural stone look people are looking for – Achieve the aesthetic without the hassle of moving boulders.

Work with your local AB sales reps to see if AB Fieldstone is available in your market. The appeal of being manufactured with recycled concrete, the wide array of installation malleability, along with its distinctive curbside allure, makes this collection a perfect choice for a variety of your clients.

What about the drainpipe, how do you allow it to exit the wall so the water can leave the system? The most common way to have the drain outlet in the wall is through the face, which usually requires cutting. Wall Drain Pro is a product that easily “Ts” into the drainpipe and allows the outlet to be between the block without cutting.
