<p>VERSA-Green Plantable Retaining Wall System Will Grow On You</p><p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For further information, contact: October 3, 2017 VERSA-LOK Retaining Wall Systems, (800) 770-4525 [email protected].</p><p>The VERSA-Green plantable wall system from VERSA-LOK may be the greenest retaining wall you’ve ever seen. It combines the durability and strength of a VERSA- LOK segmental retaining wall with the lush beauty of a hanging garden. The result is a functional wall that becomes a living part of your landscape.</p><p>“VERSA-Green is a natural solution in situations where significant soil retention is required in a wall but visibility of the wall isn’t wanted,” says Chad Johnson, VERSA- LOK national sales representative. “Plantings in each individual wall unit grow up to conceal the courses above or hang down to cover the wall below. Eventually, the wall appears to grow right into the landscape, much like a vertical garden.”</p><p>VERSA-Green is a modified version of VERSA-LOK’s popular Square Foot segmental retaining wall system. Each VERSA-Green concrete unit weighs 70 lbs. and covers nearly a full square foot of wall face. Inside each unit is a 6-inch-deep plantable core and a groove across the top to accommodate irrigation tubing that runs across each course parallel to the wall face. The core in each unit is filled with a planting medium and appropriate plants. If irrigation is installed, a drip irrigation nozzle is placed in each unit to keep the plants watered.</p><p>The VERSA-Green system can be installed up to 3.5 feet tall in most applications by anyone with a basic knowledge of retaining wall systems. If soil reinforcement is required, the wall should be designed only in accordance with final, stamped, professionally engineered construction drawings.</p><p>“The VERSA-Green wall system is an excellent alternative for those who prefer the look of greenery to hardscaping but still need a high-performance retaining wall,” Johnson concludes.
