FLAT FACE. CLEAN LINES. MAXIMUM VERSATILITY.

Did you know that Terraforce® retaining blocks are reversible? Simply turn the block to display the Flat Face, creating a clean, solid and contemporary retaining wall finish.

The Flat Face is particularly effective where a more architectural appearance or near-vertical wall is required. Depending on the design, Terraforce walls can be constructed at varying inclinations, while the unique interlocking block shape allows for curves and corners.

From residential landscaping and parking areas to commercial and engineered retaining structures, the Flat Face offers yet another way to get more from the versatile Terraforce system.

One block. Different faces. Endless possibilities.

At their property in White Peaks, Western Australia, Jess and Phil Hadley have built a landscape installation that draws admiration from design professionals and passersby alike. Working with Terraforce® L16 blocks supplied by The Block Makers, the design proves refinement can be just as striking as boldness.

Tiered terracing, gently curved staircases and integrated planter boxes break up the wall faces with texture and life. The L16 block's smaller size and lighter weight made tighter radii and finer detailing possible, while a water-wise planting palette softens the hardscape without competing with it. The result feels both designed and organic, a balance that speaks to the owners' thoughtful approach.

Terraforce Retaining Walls® rock face finish retaining walls bring both strength and natural beauty to this residential project at Regenstein Estate in Windhoek, Namibia. The textured block profile echoes the rugged rocky hillside backdrop, blending the structure seamlessly into its landscape while providing reliable soil retention on the sloped terrain. Curved sections and stepped wall runs showcase the flexibility of the system in adapting to varied site contours.

Blocks supplied by Terraforce® Licensed manufacturer, Smart Pave Namibia, Namibia.

Terraforce Retaining Walls® rock face retaining walls take on a striking form when they follow the natural curve of a slope. The rugged, natural stone-textured block face includes planting in the setback created between each course, softening the wall itself with cascading groundcover.

Above and between the wall tiers, the terraces are landscaped separately, with lawn, ornamental grasses, and seasonal planting beds completing the layered, terraced look, while curving paver paths trace the base of the walls and link the different levels.

Rock face wall systems like this are well suited to large-scale residential and commercial developments where long, curving batters need both stability and a finished aesthetic that complements surrounding gardens and public spaces.

Terraforce Retaining Walls® Blocks Terrace Steep Slope to Create Space for New Water Park

Terracing a steep slope next to a busy urban hotel district, this project made room for a new water park where the ground once dropped away sharply.

Curved retaining walls built from Terraforce® round face blocks step down the site in a series of sweeping terraces, following the natural contours rather than fighting them.

The round face profile leaves pockets for planting between the blocks, and creeping groundcover has already begun to soften the stacked lines of the walls, with roses and shrubs taking root along the terraces.

Set against a dense backdrop of apartment blocks, the walls turn a difficult, confined site into usable, level ground, freeing up space for the water park's infrastructure while keeping the slope stable and green.

Ten luxury homes. One challenge: steep, heavily contoured ground in Bishopscourt, Western Cape, ZA.

For the Exeter Estate development by KingsHill Group, The Keep and New Land Developments, raised building platforms were needed to carve out space for tennis courts, lap pools, steam rooms, w**e cellars and multi-car garages on each 650 to 800 m² erf.

The solution was Terraforce Retaining Walls® L12 blocks in charcoal, round face out, stacked in three 2m terraces at 70-degree angles. The round face left room for topsoil, allowing ten indigenous ground creeper species to be planted along the walls by Alan Dawson Gardens.

Blocks were supplied by Terraforce® licensed manufacturer Klapmuts Concrete / Cape Retaining Systems. A total of 30 000 L12 blocks were installed on site by Decorton Retaining Systems, their first project using the L12 in charcoal with a round face finish.

Subsoil and sand drainage layers run behind every cut embankment, with the bottom third of each wall concrete-filled and the larger walls geogrid reinforced, as specified by consulting engineer Dennis Belter of Gadomski Consulting Engineers.

Sneak peek: Terracing a mountainside in eZulwini, Eswatini

High up on the mountainside above eZulwini, Eswatini, Terraforce Retaining Walls® round face retaining walls are holding back some of the highest cut slopes the system has tackled to date. Built for the new International Convention Centre and five-star hotel and resort, the tiered walls reach up to 26m in height, with EFS Construction, a Terraforce® licensed manufacturer and recommended contractor, supplying and installing over 267 000 blocks across the site.

Seedling pockets built into the concrete infill mean the walls were never meant to stay bare. Years on, palms, agaves and flowering shrubs have taken hold across the tiers, with the scalloped block lines still visible beneath the growth, tying the structure back into the surrounding hillside.

The full story on this landmark stabilisation project is coming soon!

Terraforce Retaining Walls® Standard round face blocks were used to build this retaining wall in Citrusdal, Western Cape. The scalloped face gives the wall texture and softens its look along the boundary, in keeping with the rocky terrain nearby. The blocks' earthy tone works well with the patio's timber furniture and potted aloes and dracaenas, so the wall fits naturally into the backyard rather than standing out.

The result is a retaining wall that also works as a landscaping feature - functional, low-maintenance, and well suited to the space.

Blocks supplied by Terraforce® licensed manufacturer, Klapmuts Concrete / Cape Retaining Systems.

Service Road, Club Med Tinley Manor, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Club Med Tinley Manor is the first Club Med resort in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, and sustainability was a key consideration throughout the development. This short service track, providing access to the resort's back-of-house services, follows a sloped and curving route, and was surfaced with Terraforce Retaining Walls® Terracrete™ permeable pavers, allowing rainwater to filter naturally into the ground rather than run off, for an eco-friendly and flexible surfacing solution well suited to the track's changing gradient and alignment.

The blocks were supplied by TFSD Concrete Products, Terraforce®'s licensed manufacturer based in KuGompo, South Africa, with installation carried out by R&B Civils.

Building Roads That Bring Communities Together: Terracrete™ in Rural Eswatini

Elgin Rust and Karin Rust from the Terraforce Retaining Walls® head office in Cape Town, South Africa, recently visited rural community roads in Ezulwini with Michael Toepfer, a Terraforce® licensed manufacturer and recommended contractor in Eswatini. The roads were paved with Terraforce®'s permeable paver Terracrete™, expertly installed by Michael and his competent team, and they show exactly why it's suited to steep, off-the-beaten-track access routes.

Before the blocks went down, the roads were graded into a trapezoidal shape for self-draining runoff, then finished with a 100mm G6 base layer. On very steep sections, whaler strips (diagonal strips of concrete-filled Terracrete™ blocks) were added for extra support, anchoring the paving where the gradient demanded it. Approximately 1.5km of road has so far been completed and successfully weathered traffic and storms over the past few years.

Once laid, the blocks provide a flexible lining that can accommodate some ground movement, and the large openings, covering 40% of the surface area, allow rainwater to drain straight through rather than run off. On site, you can already see grass and vegetation taking hold in the joints, helping root the paving into the subbase as the road settles.

For communities living on steep slopes and away from paved infrastructure, that combination of solid groundwork, permeability, and flexibility makes a lasting difference to everyday access, safer trips to school, easier deliveries, and homes that stay connected to the world beyond the hill.
