CornerStone Retaining Wall Makes a Splash

The aggressive terrain of the Sno-Cove Water

Park presented several challenges which were all

met by use of the Cornerstone 100 unit.

 The tallest retaining wall structure on the site topped out at nearly

52’ and standard geogrid practices were

used. Pro-Gro Landscape, Inc. worked through

the winter months on the fast track project in

order to keep on schedule. They truly

appreciated the fact that they did not have to

fumble with clumsy pins or connectors due to

the Cornerstone 100’s Secure Lug connection. 

A total of seven walls were constructed at the site

consisting of gravity and geogrid reinforced designs. 

The superior strength and ease of

construction made the Cornerstone 100 unit a

perfect fit to the job.

How to build StoneLedge Pillars

CornerStone Makes Roof Top Appearance

I think that the idea of creating roof top planters or roof garden and reducing the urban heat island effect in urban environments is really quite brilliant. Why not try? At the very least we create a small green zone that can be someone’s small oasis in the middle of a large City.

Roof top planters or roof garden can be built and designed very easily using CornerStone 100 products. Our hollow core segmental retaining wall blocks has been a great option for many landscape Architects and Engineers around North America.
Rigid insulation and filter fabric are used to protect the root barrier from freeze thaw and soil migration.

Plenty of lighting was used throughout the planters. They look like small grates and shine the light down for easy walking at night. The hollow core allows for contractors to easily install wiring and make small cuts.


Notice the amount of trees and variety of shrubs for such a cold climate. This surprised me the most. When you’re getting temperatures of -31f (-35c) and the trees are still surviving you realize that something is being done right. Perhaps it’s the care in the landscaping, or in the design of using the rigid insulation to protect the roots. Here is a rendering showing one of many different option for designing you CornerStone roof top planters. Always remember to consult with the structural engineer for Live and Dead load capabilities.

Another great resource for the on slab pavers and roof drains can be found here at the ICPI (International Concrete Pavement Institute) website. look under “roof plaza decks” for details and CAD dwgs http://www.icpi.org/design/specs_details.cfm
