Geogrid Reinforcement Guide (Retaining Walls)

What Is Geogrid and Why It Matters

Geogrid ties the wall face back into the retained soil mass, increasing stability for taller walls and loaded areas.

When geogrid is typically required:

• Taller walls

• Sloped backfill or surcharge loads

• Poor soil conditions

• Walls near driveways or structures

Foundation reminder:
Use a 3–12” compacted granular base (depending on wall height/load) before stacking blocks.
