Talk to us →The Product
Big modular blocks, 2 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet, that interlock as you stack them. Hollow-core inside — so each block is light enough that a mini excavator or a small skid-steer can place them. No crane, no large equipment.
The blocks set their own batter as they go — there's no figuring out the angle. Gravity walls reach 14 feet on their own. Add geogrid and they go taller. Drainage is built into the system. The face is our signature Stacked Stone finish — natural, hand-laid look without the cost or weight of real stone.

Applications
When the lot has a slope, the wall comes before the foundation. Gravity walls up to 14 feet hold cut-and-fill on hillside homes — foothill builds, Teton-side lots, anywhere the grade had to come down.
Steep driveways and ranch roads cut into a hillside need a wall holding the high side. Verti-Block® goes in fast, takes the freeze-thaw, and looks finished without a stained-concrete budget.
Geogrid-reinforced (MSE) configurations go well past gravity-wall height — engineered for DOT shoulders, bridge abutments, and major commercial sites.
Finished on both faces — for rural property lines, lot dividers, and any wall that has to look good from both sides. No retrofit cap needed.
Engineered top blocks anchor fence panels, rail, or guardrail directly. Common on commercial parking grades, residential pool surrounds, and DOT shoulder walls.
Half-step blocks for hillside stairs, terraced landscape walls, and decorative entry columns. Same block system, same finish — the wall, the steps, and the gateposts all match.
Why VertiCore
Every block is poured at our Idaho Falls yard. No long-haul freight premium from Utah suppliers. Pickup local, install local.
Concrete mix specified for Rocky Mountain freeze-thaw cycles. Built to handle Eastern Idaho winters and Teton-side weather without spalling or cracking.

About
Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming need a lot of retaining walls. Sloped country, sloped lots, roads cut into hillsides. The current options are limited. Big natural rock gets shipped in from out of region — expensive on freight, not engineered for structural use. The other go-to is leftover-concrete blocks from a ready-mix supplier: mud left in the truck at the end of the day, poured into a form, sold cheap. They work for some jobs, but the mix is different every pour, the finish is flat-ugly, and they're over twice as heavy as a Verti-Block® — harder to set, slower to lay.
VertiCore fills what's between those two options. Engineered concrete, consistent every pour. Our Stacked Stone finish gives the face a natural, hand-laid look. Hollow-core, so a mini excavator or small skid-steer can place them — no heavy lift. It's a premium product and it's priced accordingly. The case for it is that it's the only one that gives you engineered strength, a finish you'll be proud of, and an install that doesn't need a crane.
