 From The Ground UP uses quality materials in the construction of masonry retaining walls, planters, masonry pavers, stairs, water
features, and other masonry construction. Quality levels of some materials can vary greatly, even from the top material manufacturers. Some projects require special materials, while
other projects can be done with a wide range of materials. Our years of experience and quality control will ensure you get the best products for your money. We will assist you to determine the right
materials for your project and price range. Materials are available in many colors, textures, styles, shapes from the top manufactures.
For your information, we have provided basic descriptions of some of the building materials and photos of finished projects for your review. You will find examples of wall systems from

The Victory I
wall unit's height-to-depth ratio of better than 2:1 provides additional strength desired for segmental wall designs. If necessary, Venture's systems will allow as little as 1/16" set-back per 8" course. The larger unit provides greater mass at the face of the wall, which increases the shear resistance between units and wall unit to geogrid connection strength. The
Victory II
wall unit has the split rib finish on both front and back. This unique design feature allows parapet walls to be constructed to match the retaining wall itself.

Allen Block
stones with its 12 degree batter provides the most leverage of any block on the market and will compliment any retaining wall applications including residential and housing developments, commercial and industrial projects, or Department of Transportation (DOT) projects.
Allen Block feature a unique interlocking system to allow them to be used for almost any shape wall, and can be used for walls up to 40 feet high.

CornerStone blocks
are hollow core units that combine durable, precast concrete with ease of installation. Large core, unique connecting lugs, and tapered sides allow maximum flexibility during construction while maintaining high structural integrity. When stacked and filled with gravel, the
CornerStone
units interlock, providing shear resistance, excellent connection strength to geosynthetic reinforcement (where required) and maximum layout versatility.

Mesa Retaining Wall Systems
combine the economy and versatility of segmental concrete units with proven geogrid technology to create a new generation of structural block walls - and a new standard in structural wall systems. The Mesa Systems succeed through a combination of Tensar
®
structural geogrids, high strength concrete units, and a unique "locking" connector that creates a positive, mechanical, end-bearing connection. This positive connection assures full load transfer from the wall face to the reinforcement, resulting in unsurpassed reliability.

The Keystone
Standard unit is an American original. What started the industry is still the industry leader. Its height-to depth ratio delivers a structurally sound, engineered wall system with superior construction stability, durability, and strength. The choice for tall walls and critical structures.
