ANCHOR WINDSOR STONE® THE TOP CHOICE FOR CONSUMER RETAINING WALLS

Minneapolis, MN . . . The Anchor Windsor Stone® retaining wall block is ideal for homeowners and landscapers who want easy installation and design flexibility to create signature design statements in their yards.

Retaining walls featuring Anchor Windsor Stone blocks define and beautify outdoor spaces, help stop soil erosion and maximize the amount of usable yard area. Retaining walls improve the appearance and value of the yard and home by adding interesting colors, pattern and texture on curved or straight retaining walls, planters, tree rings and terraced gardens.

Installation Ease
Anchor Windsor Stone blocks feature the Anchor Pinless System®, a rear lip on the back of each Anchor block that guides each block into place. The System ensures quick installation, accurate alignment and precise setback using no mortar or pins. To complete a retaining wall project using Windsor Stone, homeowners need basic tools and supplies, including a wheelbarrow to transport the block, a compactor to ensure firm compaction of the soil as the block is laid, a shovel, tape measure, hammer, chisel, carpenterÕs level, stakes, string line, safety glasses, gloves and a pencil. If a block needs to be split to make corner units, a circular cut-off saw with a masonry blade will be needed. The step-by-step techniques for installing Anchor Windsor Stone retaining walls are illustrated in installation cards available at Anchor dealers around the country.

Windsor Stone blocks are 4-inches in height and feature and 11 5/8-inch beveled three-way face. The block is 8-inches deep and weighs 24 pounds. The warm earth tones, beveled face and low-maintenance rough rock texture blend naturally with any landscape.

Building An Anchor Wall
Walls using Anchor Windsor Stone blocks can be built in a few inches to two feet in height with no reinforcement. In addition to traditional straight retaining walls, the Windsor Stone is perfect for building retaining walls with inside or outside curves, designs that add creativity to any landscaping project. Terraces, walls constructed of two or more retaining walls, are ideal design solutions for high slopes and provide space for flowers or shrubs. Beautiful, economical and long lasting, Anchor Windsor Stone blocks are a perfect alternative to timbers, which offer limited design flexibility, and boulders or other landscaping stones, which sometimes require mortar and are costly to install.
