Customer Reviews

buyer beware
This guide is useful provided the readers are (1)absolutely sure they will be using concrete block (such as E.P.Henry in our area)--no real stone or other material allowed and (2) the project budget is tens if not hundreds of thousand of dollars. The lower right hand corner of the cover says it all "National Concrete Masonry Association Tina Skinner".
If, as are most of us, one is looking for ideas and methods to deal with troublesome slopes and steps then by all means start with the "Sunset" series of garden design books instead or go to your concrete block dealer and pick up all the free design and construction materials that are readily available

Excellent book
This book contains technical information about how to build a retaining wall, as well as dozens of inspiring photos that will give you idea after idea for your retaining wall. This is probably the only book you'll need if you're thinking about building a retaining wall.
