Reinforced Steep Slopes

In some projects a steep, reinforced slope is preferred to a segmental retaining wall. This can be accomplished using a vegetated facing, constructed with wire forms and geogrid followed by seeding with local vegetation. The result is a more natural facing treatment!

Design of these structures is similar to that if a SRW and can be constructed in a similar manner.

Contact REDI for more information on these versatile alternatives to block facings.
