Video installation guide available on our YouTube channel.

Please read through all instructions before beginning.

DESIGN LAYOUT & SITE PREPARATION

•

Once you have determined where your wall needs to be placed, dig a trench for

your base course 8-10 inches deep (6 inches for the buried blocks, and an

additional 2-4 inches below that for your base rock or sand).

BASE COURSE

•

Fill the bottom 2-4 inches of your trench with crushed rock or sand that can be

easily compacted with a tamper or similar tool.

•

Compact the crushed rock or sand, then top with an inch or two of sand to help

with leveling as you place the block. (see details for drainpipe placement if

desired)

P100 PLACEMENT & LEVELLING

•

If using the side rails, snap both into receptors slots and secure them before setting

block.

•

Place Side Rail in marked receptor on blocks, press until the tabs snap into the

receptors.

•

Place your first row of block 9 inches apart. (each side rail can also serve as a 9” spacing

gauge)

•

Level each block front to back and side to side.

•

If the blocks are not quite level, lift the blocks to push some sand underneath or tap high end into base sand, and adjust to

level. See Fig. 4

•

Continue levelling along the line from one end of the wall to the other. Pin the blocks in place with a wire sod staple to

prevent kicking it out of positions (optional).

Tip: For best results, use longest level possible

PLACING THE UNIT BACKFILL • Place compost or blended growing media into the trough of each block (behind the face) and into the space between each block on the course. • Soil movement is prevented by cutting a small piece of filter cloth to lay on the inside bottom of the block prior to placing unit backfill. • Fill the space up to the top of the side rails and then step on the material to compact it.

PLANTING • • • • • • GreenWay P100 walls and slopes are designed from their inception to be planted and grown over. The system is intended to be the most reliable means available for creating strong, economical structures that quickly disappear into the natural landscape, with a huge variety of locally appropriate plant species. The face of the finished system should be brushed off to dislodge any over-filling of the pockets which would quickly slough off on its own.
