Retaining & Freestanding Walls

Return to McNear Brick & Block

Using Versa-Lok’s retaining wall system specifications, McNear has designed durable wall products with rich, custom colors. Our color mixes are blended throughout the entire block and are made to stand the test of time and the elements without losing its original appeal. Our new freestanding Corsican wall is appealing from any angle with its two-sided, textured blocks.

NEW VERSA-LOK and Handy-Scape colors!

VERSA-LOK® Standard

(Classic & Weathered)

Contractors, engineers and landscape architects agree that VERSA-LOK Standard’s near-solid construction and unique pinning system provide an endless array of design options, hardcore durability with quick and easy installation.

Mosaic

(Classic & Weathered)

McNear’s most aesthetically pleasing wall product, the Mosaic system utilizes a weathered, four-unit panel design giving each wall the look and feel of natural stone. Save money and the earth’s resources by opting for a beautiful yet economical Mosaic wall.

Free-standing block units are also available in the exact same Weathered Mosaic color choices. Form straight, curved or parapet walls with these two-sided, textured block units. You can do it yourself with this easy-stack, no-pinning system.

Square Foot

(Classic & Weathered)

For a more majestic presence, McNear’s Square Foot wall system utilizes larger-scale, cored block units in a Classic or Weathered finish. Its trapezoidal shape and top-pinning system allow for accurate alignment, tighter vertical joints and easy installation. Square Foot’s design enables a near-vertical setback, and its wider block face affords greater durability than other cored systems.

Handy-Scape

(Classic Only)

Ideal for low-level use (up to 3 feet), McNear’s Handy-Scape product is perfect for any do-it-yourselfer. Just simply stack the blocks on a granular leveling pad in the configuration you want. No muss, no fuss and no need for mortar or concrete footings.

Corsican

(Weathered Freestanding)

Do it yourself with this easy-stack, no-pinning system. With McNear’s new freestanding, two-sided, textured block units, you can create straight, curved or parapet walls that will look great from any angle in your yard. Build a garden or seat wall or add a planter box to your outdoor living space.
