Why Choose Varden™ Blocks Over Concrete?
Varden™ plantable retaining wall blocks deliver three advantages that traditional concrete blocks can’t match:
- Lightweight and easy to handle – Each block weighs only a few pounds, so one person can carry dozens of blocks without equipment. A single pallet of 250 blocks covers 250 square feet of wall and weighs about 800 pounds total—far easier to transport and stage than concrete blocks weighing 50–100 pounds.
- Built to last – Made from tough, structural-grade polypropylene (PP) with UV stabilizers and impact resistance, Varden blocks won’t crack from freeze-thaw cycles like concrete can. When properly installed and planted, the system is designed for multi-decade service life.
- Living, cooling green walls – Every block is a planting pocket. Fill with soil or compost, plant your choice of groundcovers, perennials, or edibles, and watch the wall become a vertical garden that cools your yard, filters stormwater, and stores carbon instead of radiating heat like bare concrete.
