We are thrilled to be a professional Atlanta based installer of the Varden Retaining Wall System. A structural and functional retaining wall covered in plants is an ingenious way to bring vertical gardening into your landscape design to what would otherwise be concrete block or wood timbers. There is no other product in the marketplace that offers the same versatility.
Everette:
😎Thank you for the very nice review and your most recent project is stunning! We look forward to many successful living retaining wall projects with your company in the future. We are very pleased for the opportunity to work with talented professionals like Moss Landscape Design Group!🌱
this was a great install I had about 50 feet that was in a S curve shape. and this looked great. We are working on getting the plants growing. I added a drip system to help. I did it my self so there are some errors but so far so good.
Glenn:
We love staying close to our customers to help where we can and admire always! You have a great project there and glad our light weight alternative to concrete helped yield a great install for you. Looking forward to seeing the plants grow it over!
I ordered a pallet of 250 live retaining wall blocks two years ago, works great for me, my backyard is next to a canyon with drastic slope inaccessible with construction equipment, I find this product extremely helpful, and all manageable to install by myself. Awesome results for landslide mitigation and multi-level planting area retainage, holding steady after two years, I just ordered another pallet for more coverage of my venture, what’s more satisfying is that customer service is very professional. Looking forward for more great project experience
Thanks for the review. Your project useage is a typical one for many customers and your review will help many to understand the system. We have enjoyed hearing about and seeing your living retaining wall project. Looking forward to the pictures!
I did a complete renovation of my backyard using these blocks to fix grading issues and double the usable space. I used about 170 blocks. I'm very happy with how they turned out and can't wait for the wall to grow over. I did the entire project by myself using basic hand tools. I think I would have injured my back if I had used stone blocks. I love the fact that I have doubled my gardening space too. Now I have an amazing backyard to enjoy for years to come.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our Varden Living Retaining Wall Blocks. We're thrilled to hear that they were the perfect eco-friendly solution for your backyard renovation. It's great to know that you were able to easily install the blocks yourself and that they have doubled your gardening space. Happy gardening, and enjoy your beautiful backyard for years to come!
<p>I have a terrace in my backyard and wanted to replace my old retaining wall blocks. Everything looked old and outdated, the living retaining walls really upgraded my backyard and I can’t wait to plant it up!</p>
<p>I had a small grade change on the side of my house and I wanted to install something easy. I found these light weight blocks and the project was really simple. We planted it up a few weeks ago and my wife loves the look of it.</p>
<p>The blocks showed up on my door in a cardboard box, I would have never guessed you could get a retaining wall delivered to your door. I’m going to install it this weekend, super excited to see how it turns out.</p>
<p>I was shocked when I found out these blocks would be shipped UPS. Really cool actually!</p>
<p>It is insane to me how these look like concrete retaining wall blocks, but they are super super light. Really awesome product that I’ll be using any time I can!</p>
<p>Bought 2 boxes of the green for a backyard project, really satisfied with not ruining my back carrying these around and installing them and I’m excited I was able to plant them up with some vines that will cover the whole wall. No complaints here.</p>
