Product Description

The OLDCASTLE 162005551 is a 12-inch tan Castlewall stackable retaining wall block designed for mortar-free landscape construction. The block is engineered for both straight and curved wall layouts, giving landscape contractors and hardscape installers flexibility on residential and light commercial job sites. At approximately 26 pounds per unit, the block is sized for manual handling while providing the mass needed for stable dry-stack retaining structures. It suits a wide range of outdoor hardscape applications where a clean, finished appearance and structural integrity are both required.

This block is used in residential and light commercial landscape installations. Typical applications include garden borders, planter walls, tree rings, and small retaining walls. The mortar-free stackable design speeds installation and allows for grade adjustments during layout. The manufacturer recommends a maximum wall height of 2 feet for freestanding installations. Landscape contractors, hardscape crews, and experienced DIYers working on grading and planting bed projects are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by landscape contractors or hardscape crews following local grading and drainage codes. Before stacking, prepare a level compacted gravel base to ensure proper drainage and wall stability. Do not exceed the manufacturer-recommended maximum wall height of 2 feet for freestanding dry-stack applications without consulting an engineer. For walls subject to significant soil loads or surcharge, consult applicable local building codes and a qualified design professional.
