Frequently Asked Questions About Yavapai Block Co. Inc.
Why should I use Yavapai Block for my retaining wall project?
Yavapai Block is Northern Arizona's trusted source for durable, cost-effective landscaping block solutions. With decades of experience, Yavapai Block makes it easy to design and install retaining walls that improve both form and function.
How tall can I build a retaining wall?
Using Handy-Wall you can build a wall 3ft high. Using Versa-Lok you are able to build a wall 4ft high.
For walls that need to extend higher than 3-4ft you will need to consult with a qualified structural engineer.

No. Yavapai Block walls are designed to sit on a compacted gravel base. This provides excellent support and simplifies installation.

Concrete blocks made using similar techniques have lasted since the 1950s. Modern materials and methods ensure your wall will stand the test of time in Arizona's environments.
Is Yavapai Block environmentally friendly?
Yes. Yavapai Block products are made from natural materials without harmful chemicals, making them a safe and sustainable landscaping option.
Can I cut a block?
Yes. With a masonry cut-off saw and a diamond-tipped blade, blocks can be cut or split easily. Proper planning reduces the need for cutting blocks.
How do Yavapai Block walls interlock?
Yavapai Block walls use a dry-stacked system with interlocking features and a built-in setback for strength. This design eliminates the need for mortar.
Why do retaining walls set back as they rise?
The setback design improves structural integrity and allows the wall to naturally lean into the slope it retains.
