A method of supporting a retaining wall comprising a plurality of wall blocks positioned to retain material against a rear side of the plurality of wall blocks, the method comprising attaching at least one of the plurality of wall blocks, on the rear side of the at least one of the plurality of wall blocks, to at least one ground-stabilizing base body supporting the plurality of wall blocks.
A kit for use in constructing a retaining wall, the kit comprising:
- a plurality of wall blocks configured to be positioned into at least one stack with material retained against a rear side of the plurality of wall blocks;
- and
- at least one base body positionable on a surface, configured to stabilize ground under the surface, and configured to support the at least one stack of the plurality of wall blocks;
- wherein the plurality of wall blocks are configured to be attached, on the rear side of the at least one of the plurality of wall blocks, to the at least one base body when the at least one base body supports the plurality of wall blocks.
A retaining wall system comprising:
- a plurality of wall blocks retaining material on a rear side of the plurality of wall blocks;
- and
- at least one ground-stabilizing base body supporting the plurality of wall blocks;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of wall blocks is attached, on the rear side of the at least one of the plurality of wall blocks, to the at least one ground-stabilizing base body.
