AB Europa® Collection Retaining Wall Products
The AB Europa Collection offers the look and feel of weathered stone to the landscape. Walk back in time to the boulevards of Paris or the hill towns of Italy. The hand laid stone effect brings European old world charm and distinction to any retaining wall project. Available in multiple sizes, shapes and colors. Find your local distributor to see your options.
The AB Europa Collection offers pleasing aesthetics in a timeless-worn feel. If your design calls for an elegant and ageless look, AB Europa is the right choice. Use the blocks individually or blend them together to create patterned "abbey blend" walls that will define your space for years to come.

Easy Installation
The AB Europa Collection is easy to install. They dry-stack without mortar or footings. Just stack, fill, compact and go! The hollow core feature makes them easier to handle and promotes good drainage behind the wall. The raised lip and notch lock each block in place and creates a natural built-in setback Use one sized block or mix the different block sizes together in the wall to capture the look of hand laid stone. The AB Europa Collection is right at home in residential settings where retaining walls 6 ft (1.8 m) and under are typically called for, and up to the task on larger retaining walls 6 ft (1.8 m) and over.
Patterned Retaining Walls
The design possibilities are endless. Use the blocks from the AB Europa Collection individually or blend them together to create AB Abbey Blend patterned retaining walls. The interlocking blocks easily fit together without any materials or tools.
