PATTERN OPTIONS
For a natural look, simply follow no pattern.
With random placement, make sure to
minimize the number of matching joints to
maintain a strong wall.
FREESTANDING WALL
Catalina has two split sides allowing it to be used in freestanding walls. Freestanding walls are
excellent for sitting walls, patio barriers, or fencing. See the formula to calculate the material needed
for your freestanding wall project. A 20" height is ideal for most sitting wall projects. Please note that
freestanding walls should not exceed 3' in height.

WALL CONSTRUCTION
1. Prepare Base Trench Calculate the depth of your base trench. The base
trench should be 4-6 inches deep to accommodate Paver Base material with an
additional inch per foot of wall height.
Sample 2' wall height: 2"+ 4-6" base material = 6-8" trench depth When building on
un-level areas, prepare step downs in increments of 5". Compact and level your
Paver Base.
2. Level Base Course Place the rst layer of block on the prepared foundation.
Use a carpenter's level in all directions and use a string line to verify straightness.
Suggestion: To avoid un-straight lines, place gentle curves in the wall. Be certain
the base course is level and the blocks lay at. Have a rubber mallet handy for
leveling blocks. Small handfuls of sand may be used for leveling too.
3. Stack & Fill Backll the wall with Multi-Purpose Gravel that will let water
drain through to the drain tile behind your wall. For maximum wall strength and
durability, use a landscape adhesive on each course. If desired, use a standard
retaining wall cap to top the wall.
SHAPES & SIZES
Each pallet of Catalina contains a variety of shapes and
sizes. Mixing the dierent shapes, and using either of the
2 nished faces will create a unique, random looking wall
with minimal cutting.
Each Catalina Block
has two nished sides
for more possible
combinations.
NOTE: Walls over 3' in height may require geogrid and our professional design
service. For projects over 3', please ll out a design service quote request.
