It’s not at all uncommon for homeowners, business owners, cities and organizations to realize a need or desire for the construction of a stone wall throughout their properties.
In some cases, the wall is needed as a means of preventing soil erosion or to maximize usable space throughout the landscape.
In other instances, the wall may be of a freestanding nature and is only built for esthetic purposes.
Regardless of the reasoning, though, it’s extremely important to select the right materials for the job. We’ve recently received a lot of interest in Belgard Belair Wall blocks. To better acquaint our customers with these materials we have assembled this review on the key attributes of Belair Wall blocks.
Belair Wall Uses
Belgard manufactures high quality wall blocks in its Belair collection that can be used in a variety of ways throughout the property. The most common use for the materials is, of course, for the construction of retaining or freestanding walls.
When a property is sloped, it may be at risk for a mini landslide after periods of rain, or it may be an unsightly nuisance as it is not level throughout. Belair Wall blocks can then be used to support the lateral load of soil behind the wall and prevent erosion while also creating flat terraces and areas of land for raised patios or flower gardens.
Belair Wall is also ideal for establishing barriers and boundaries as a highly attractive freestanding wall. Finally, the blocks can be used for steps and columns that can compliment walls and create hardscape uniformity.
Belair Wall Appearance
One of the first things that people want to know before working with Belgard’s Belair Wall blocks is whether or not it will compliment the overall appearance of their landscape. We answer this question with a resounding, “Yes!”
One of Belgard’s biggest draws is that they manufacture gorgeous materials that have a completely naturalistic appearance so that you can’t tell the difference between their high quality products and the real thing.
Each block features rich textures, ridges and color patterns that are characteristic of natural stone. While you will find that only two color options are available (Toscana and Victorian), you’ll be pleased with the rich beauty offered and the materials’ ability to coordinate well with a variety of other landscaping and building materials.
There are also various sizes and shapes that can be selected, allowing for corners, curves and interesting patterns. Top the whole thing off with matching caps.
Belair Wall Durability
Because we live in the northeast, our customers are generally concerned with Belair Wall blocks’ ability to remain durable and effective – even when exposed to harsh weather conditions.
These tough materials are specifically designed to hold their color without fading from the sun’s UV rays or cracking after the freeze-and-thaw cycles of winter and spring. In addition to this, the blocks are also very strong and can hold back heavy lateral loads so that you never have to worry about a washout.
Belair Wall Ease of Installation
We’ve found that Belair Wall blocks are generally very simple and fast to install. This means that you’ll end up spending a lot less time and money on labor for professional installations. Easy-to-follow instructions are available for the experienced do-it-yourselfer.
Belair Wall Prices
One of the key advantages to working with Belair Wall blocks is that they are very affordable. Natural stone can be expensive and way out of many property owner’s budget allowances, but these amazing pavers offer the same great look of organic stone without draining your bank account.

They continue to retain their beauty and structural integrity for many years so that you get the most value for your dollar spent on the project.
