Traditional retaining walls rely on heavy materials like concrete, crushed rock, or soil—making them labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming to build. EPS Geofoam blocks offer a smarter solution. As a lightweight retaining wall fill, Geofoam weighs up to 100 times less than conventional materials, drastically reducing installation time and equipment needs.
Whether you’re stabilizing a slope or constructing a tiered landscape, Geofoam delivers the strength required to support soil and structures—without the challenges of traditional heavy fill.
EPS Geofoam is engineered for high compressive resistance, making it ideal for use behind segmental retaining walls and other structural applications. Despite weighing just 1–2 pounds per cubic foot, Geofoam supports heavy loads and provides superior long-term stability.
Its closed-cell structure is also moisture-resistant, helping to prevent water damage, erosion, and freeze-thaw degradation. Combined, these characteristics create a reliable, durable backfill solution that performs in even the most demanding environments.
Geofoam offers unmatched installation flexibility. It can be shaped, cut, and stacked to match any wall design—straight or curved, stepped or sloped. Unlike soil or gravel backfill, EPS Geofoam can also be installed in any weather, unaffected by rain, snow, or freezing temperatures. This helps contractors stay on schedule and on budget, regardless of seasonal conditions.
