The above photo is one of an elaborate planter that was built with the Pyzique
Stone.
The Pyzique Retaining Wall System is one of a kind.
Because the small, lightweight block has the same rough texture on the front of
block as it does on the back, the design capabilities are endless.
Landscapers and homeowners alike absolutely adore the design of this block once
they start working with it.
Please visit www.pyzique.com for more information
on what makes the Pyzique Stone so great.
This project used the Paragon Retaining Wall System which is a system we contract
manufacture.
The color of the block in the photo above is a two-color marble incorporating
gray and tan. The project used tumbled block to give a weathered and rustic appearance.
The Paragon Retaining Wall System product is primarily used in large residential
projects for site walls, between houses and in back yards.
Please contact us for more information on the Paragon
Retaining Wall System product.
The most beautiful feature a retaining wall can offer is when it enhances nature
itself.
Installation Notes:
Installation
instructions are provided for your convenience. Additionally, using your project measurements,
our professional staff will provide an estimation of the number of blocks required to complete
your project.
Once the total number of blocks required is established, we can recommend a leveling
base material and calculate the amount necessary for a successful retaining wall system.
Each project presents unique characteristics and challenges. We have provided
creative solutions with an extensive product line since 1946.
Please contact us for
further instruction on how to calculate the necessary block required or how to build the total
wall with the different systems we have. Our experienced staff is available to assist you.
We are the proud manufacturer of a variety of retaining wall systems, including Paragon Retaining
Wall Systems, Pyzique Retaining Wall Systems, and our own
retaining wall system, the Cuesta. Both the Paragon and the Cuesta Retaining Wall Systems are "core-fill" systems.
Core fill systems are stabilized by adding crushed rock to inside of the block. The crushed
rock works its way thru the wall and ties the whole wall together.
The beauty of this design is the ability to turn corners both directions and flexibility of "set
back" (placement of block further back on the block below anchoring the wall towards embankment).
Installers have opportunity for creativity without impairing the wall's structural integrity.
The Pyzique Retaining Wall System is, by
our estimation, the neatest little landscape block on the market today. Instead of having the "lip" on
the back of the block it has a split face just like the front of the block. This allows the block
to be used in a number of landscaping projects including retaining walls, fences, stairs, columns,
edging and anything else you can think of.
Please visit www.pyzique.com for more
information on the Pyzique system.
