How to finish exposed end of a block retaining wall?
Hi All,
I plan on doing a dry stack block retaining wall for the front of my house as shown in the attached photo. The right side ending at the driveway will be exposed and would have a visual impact.
I'm planning on using Tasman blocks Opal White colour because they're the only one I have found who offer the dry stack blocks in white. Unfortunately their blocks is open on either sides and does not have a finished side (see attached brochure) as apposed to say versawall which have a corner unit with one finished side.
I'm doing three course stack and mail box will integrate in the wall.
Any advice is appreciated

Re: How to finish exposed end of a block retaining wall?
Hi @ArashM,
It's probably best that you confirm this with the producer of this retaining wall system, but it seems like adding a half corner block at the end of the wall is the best way to go.
Some modifications to the blocks may be necessary, so it is certainly worth contacting the manufacturer for their guidance.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
