MJ Rowles carry a large range of different style retianing wall block systems. Please browse the different tabs below to see what suits your needs.
Gardenstone Wall Blocks are basically a smaller version of our Norfolk Wall, at a slightly lower price. Gardenstone blocks are approximately 60% smaller, with 35 blocks per m2. As with the Norfolk block, Gardenstone blocks are made with hollow blocks for the bottom courses, lighter and easier to handle, and with a solid capping block. The smaller size of the Gardenstone blocks makes them ideal for lower retaining walls and garden edging and more suitable for tighter curves than other products.

The Norfolk Retaining Wall Block System is an attractive Interlocking Wall System which has the natural look of quarried stone and blends into any landscape situation with its sculptured rock face texture.
Developed specifically for Retaining Walls the Norfolk Blocks can be built straight, curved or terraced to fit into the contours of the embankment. Each Block is made of high strength, permanent low absorption concrete which are solid and maintenance free.
Wall heights can be achieved to 900mm without reinforcement or engineering (subject to local council requirements).

Near Vertical Walls Do it Yourself No Concrete Footings Required Flexible 90 Corners, Steps, Straight or Curved Walls Walls to 660mm high without reinforcement or engineering (subject to local council requirements)
The Tasman retaining wall system incorporates purpose made corner and capping units to provide classical reconstructed sandstone retaining walls. The unique design of the Tasman wall system allows increased flexibility over competing products. The Tasman walls can be built almost vertical. Each block has only a 10mm setback, which allows all available space to be utilised to the maximum. Curved or straight walls can be erected and it is easy to build 90-degree corners with the purpose made corner blocks. A capping unit is adhered to the top course of blocks to finish off the wall.
The blocks are easily dry-stacked and their patented design locks into the block above to form an attractive structural retaining wall. For walls over 660mm high, FORTRAC geogrid is locked in every 2nd course of blocks to create a reinforced soil retaining wall structure. (See Design Tables). Seek specific engineering advice for walls over 660mm high, walls carrying car traffic or to comply with most council requirements. The Tasman system is manufactured with a water repellent admixture to add to its quality.

Track workers tend to Kyle Busch after he slammed into an unprotected wall during the Xfinity Series race on Feb. 21. Busch fractured his right leg and broke his left foot. The crash prompted Daytona International Speedway to expand SAFER Barriers around the track.
DAYTONA BEACH The aftermath of Kyle Buschs Feb. 21 wreck at Daytona was met immediately with promises to upgrade the tracks safety standards.
Those promises began taking real shape Wednesday with the announcement that Daytona International Speedway will get more SAFER Barriers on those sections of concrete walls that remained bare at the time of Buschs accident, which resulted in a compound fracture to his right leg and fracture to his left foot.
The initiatives announced Wednesday:
The inside retaining wall, inside Turn 1 and beginning with the exit from the infield road course, will be realigned and fitted with the Steel and Foam Energy Reduction (SAFER) Barrier. Also, 20,000 square feet of asphalt will be put down to replace the grass in that area of the track the lack of traction on grass adds to the inability to slow or possibly control a wrecking car.
Installation of SAFER Barrier on the retaining wall at the exit to pit road.
Installation of SAFER Barrier between the exit of Turn 4 and the pit entrance, on the section of the inside retaining wall presently uncovered.
Also, as soon as possible, the Speedway will begin covering the outside wall of the backstretch with SAFER Barrier.
Based on material availability and timing, we will install SAFER Barrier on the outside backstretch wall and will complete as much as possible prior to the July NASCAR weekend, track president Joie Chitwood III said. Following the July races, we will complete any remaining installation of SAFER Barrier on the outside backstretch wall and continue to install SAFER Barrier on the remaining areas of the property.
We will provide additional updates regarding our safety initiatives as circumstances warrant. The safety of the competitors and our fans is our top priority.
