T@erraforce® Blocks Terrace Steep Slope to Create Space for New Water Park

Terracing a steep slope next to a busy urban hotel district, this project made room for a new water park where the ground once dropped away sharply.

Curved retaining walls built from Terraforce® round face blocks step down the site in a series of sweeping terraces, following the natural contours rather than fighting them.

The round face profile leaves pockets for planting between the blocks, and creeping groundcover has already begun to soften the stacked lines of the walls, with roses and shrubs taking root along the terraces.

Set against a dense backdrop of apartment blocks, the walls turn a difficult, confined site into usable, level ground, freeing up space for the water park's infrastructure while keeping the slope stable and green.

Ten luxury homes. One challenge: steep, heavily contoured ground in Bishopscourt, Western Cape, ZA.

For the Exeter Estate development by KingsHill Group, The Keep and New Land Developments, raised building platforms were needed to carve out space for tennis courts, lap pools, steam rooms, wine cellars and multi-car garages on each 650 to 800 m² erf.

The solution was Terraforce Retaining Walls® L12 blocks in charcoal, round face out, stacked in three 2m terraces at 70-degree angles. The round face left room for topsoil, allowing ten indigenous ground creeper species to be planted along the walls by Alan Dawson Gardens.

Blocks were supplied by Terraforce® licensed manufacturer Klapmuts Concrete / Cape Retaining Systems. A total of 30 000 L12 blocks were installed on site by Decorton Retaining Systems, their first project using the L12 in charcoal with a round face finish.

Subsoil and sand drainage layers run behind every cut embankment, with the bottom third of each wall concrete-filled and the larger walls geogrid reinforced, as specified by consulting engineer Dennis Belter of Gadomski Consulting Engineers.

Sneak peek: Terracing a mountainside in eZulwini, Eswatini

High up on the mountainside above eZulwini, Eswatini, Terraforce Retaining Walls® round face retaining walls are holding back some of the highest cut slopes the system has tackled to date. Built for the new International Convention Centre and five-star hotel and resort, the tiered walls reach up to 26m in height, with EFS Construction, a Terraforce® licensed manufacturer and recommended contractor, supplying and installing over 267 000 blocks across the site.

Seedling pockets built into the concrete infill mean the walls were never meant to stay bare. Years on, palms, agaves and flowering shrubs have taken hold across the tiers, with the scalloped block lines still visible beneath the growth, tying the structure back into the surrounding hillside.

The full story on this landmark stabilisation project is coming soon!

Terraforce Retaining Walls® 4x4 Step blocks were used to construct this staircase at The Regal Rose Spa in Durbanville, Western Cape. L12 blocks, flanking the stairs, form the retaining walls on either side, tying the entrance, planting beds, and pathway into a single cohesive design.

Terraforce Retaining Walls® Standard round face blocks were used to build this retaining wall in Citrusdal, Western Cape. The scalloped face gives the wall texture and softens its look along the boundary, in keeping with the rocky terrain nearby. The blocks' earthy tone works well with the patio's timber furniture and potted aloes and dracaenas, so the wall fits naturally into the backyard rather than standing out.

The result is a retaining wall that also works as a landscaping feature - functional, low-maintenance, and well suited to the space.

Service Road, Club Med Tinley Manor, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Club Med Tinley Manor is the first Club Med resort in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, and sustainability was a key consideration throughout the development. This short service track, providing access to the resort's back-of-house services, follows a sloped and curving route, and was surfaced with Terraforce Retaining Walls® Terracrete™ permeable pavers, allowing rainwater to filter naturally into the ground rather than run off, for an eco-friendly and flexible surfacing solution well suited to the track's changing gradient and alignment.

The blocks were supplied by TFSD Concrete Products, Terraforce®'s licensed manufacturer based in KuGompo, South Africa, with installation carried out by R&B Civils.

🌿 Who said paving had to look like paving?



Terracrete grass pavers let you have the best of both worlds — a stable, vehicle-rated surface that looks like a green lawn.



The open-cell design of our grass pavers allows turf to grow through the paver grid, creating a natural, lush appearance while still providing a solid, load-bearing surface underneath.



Perfect for:

✅ Overflow parking areas

✅ Residential driveways with a natural aesthetic

✅ Event spaces and function venues

✅ Farming properties

✅ Council verges and reserves

✅ Golf club cart paths



Grass grows. Cars park. Water drains. Everyone's happy.

Building Roads That Bring Communities Together: Terracrete™ in Rural Eswatini

Elgin Rust and Karin Rust from the Terraforce Retaining Walls® head office in Cape Town, South Africa, recently visited rural community roads in Ezulwini with Michael Toepfer, a Terraforce® licensed manufacturer and recommended contractor in Eswatini. The roads were paved with Terraforce®'s permeable paver Terracrete™, expertly installed by Michael and his competent team, and they show exactly why it's suited to steep, off-the-beaten-track access routes.

Before the blocks went down, the roads were graded into a trapezoidal shape for self-draining runoff, then finished with a 100mm G6 base layer. On very steep sections, whaler strips (diagonal strips of concrete-filled Terracrete™ blocks) were added for extra support, anchoring the paving where the gradient demanded it. Approximately 1.5km of road has so far been completed and successfully weathered traffic and storms over the past few years.

Once laid, the blocks provide a flexible lining that can accommodate some ground movement, and the large openings, covering 40% of the surface area, allow rainwater to drain straight through rather than run off. On site, you can already see grass and vegetation taking hold in the joints, helping root the paving into the subbase as the road settles.

For communities living on steep slopes and away from paved infrastructure, that combination of solid groundwork, permeability, and flexibility makes a lasting difference to everyday access, safer trips to school, easier deliveries, and homes that stay connected to the world beyond the hill.

Blocks manufactured and installed by Terraforce® licensed manufacturer, EFS Construction.

🚜 This one's for the farmers.



You know the routine. Wet season hits. Your access road turns into a bog. You grade it, top up the gravel, and spend half a day getting it back to usable.



Then it rains again.



Terracrete permeable pavers end that cycle. A properly installed permeable paver surface handles your vehicles and machinery, drains naturally, and doesn't move, erode, or wash away.



We supply to rural and farm properties across WA — South West, Great Southern, Wheatbelt, Mid West, and beyond.
