Retaining walls are a staple in many NJ home landscapes. Homes that feature slopes or hills depend on retaining wall systems in order to prevent erosion and landslides.
The retaining walls can also help to increase the amount of usable outdoor living space the homeowners can enjoy by creating level areas of land for gardens, patios and terraces.
While a retaining wall certainly needs to be strong, durable and reliable, though, it should also be aesthetically pleasing.
As a leader in the hardscaping and landscaping industry, Techo-Bloc has made it its mission to craft stunningly beautiful and extremely dependable retaining wall blocks that can improve your outdoor living experience.
Homeowners have an incredible 14 different options when it comes to choosing a retaining wall system from Techo-Bloc. Which materials are right for your property? This post will highlight each member of Techo-Bloc’s retaining wall collection to help you make a smart choice.
Techo-Bloc Retaining Walls At-A Glance
What is it that makes Techo-Bloc retaining wall blocks so special and unique? Although they are constructed from highly durable and affordable concrete materials, each style of wall block is carefully designed and crafted to look like natural stone or other natural landscaping materials.
This makes it possible for NJ homeowners to improve the appearance and functionality of their outdoor living spaces without breaking the bank.
In addition to looking fabulous, these materials are designed to be extremely tough and weather-resistant. Even when exposed to the harsh hot and cold climates that we are accustomed to here in the northeast, the walls will be able to hold their own against the elements, preventing soil erosion and ensuring that the landscape as a whole continues to look absolutely beautiful at all times.
The Techo-Bloc Retaining Wall Collection
The Techo-Bloc retaining wall collection is expansive, featuring a wide variety of colors and styles that appeal to homeowners from all walks of life.
Whether you’re looking to create a rustic, traditional, or chic theme for your landscape, you’ll be able to make your dreams come true with the perfect Techo-Bloc wall blocks. Here’s a quick look at what each of the 14 collections available in the US have to offer:
Baltimore
An elegant, double-sided wall collection, Baltimore wall blocks are a great choice for establishing multi-level terraces and gardens, and can also double in their usage for planters. These blocks feature rigid and rugged texturing and are available in shades of brown, tan and gray.
Borealis
The Borealis collection stands out from other Techo-Bloc retaining wall blocks because instead of resembling the look of stone, the concrete blocks are intended to look like planks of natural wood. The nature of these blocks make them excellent for creating tiered gardens and flower boxes.
Brandon
NJ homeowners love the rugged and classic look of Brandon retaining wall “stones”. The irregular and somewhat aged facing of the double-sided, interlocking wall system makes it beautiful from all angles.

This new and exciting retaining wall system from Techo-Bloc offers smooth and sleek blocks that are perfect for an array of different landscaping styles and designs.
The blocks are available in shades of gray and brown, offering a neutral and subtly sophisticated appearance.
Graphix
It’s easy to see why the Graphix wall system is so popular.

Raffinato
Homeowners who desire a modern, chic sense of style will appreciate the Raffinato retaining wall system. The blocs are designed with a smooth and sleek facing in stylish shades of black, nickel and beige.
The juxtaposition of the modern, upscale blocks and the natural grass and vegetation in your yard is stunning.
