How to Use Windsor Stone Blocks
Installation Steps
Planning
Decide on the wall height, layout, and shape
Mark your layout using string or spray paint
Excavation
Dig a trench about 200mm deep and 150mm wider than the blocks
Ensure it’s flat and level
Base Preparation
Lay 100–150mm of compacted road base or crusher dust
Level and compact thoroughly
First Course
Lay the first row of blocks carefully – this sets the tone for the entire wall
Use a level and rubber mallet to position each block perfectly
Drainage
Backfill with 20mm gravel and install ag pipe behind the wall for water drainage
Building the Wall
Stack blocks in a staggered pattern
Use landscape adhesive between courses for extra strength
Continue backfilling as you build up
Finishing
Add Windsor Stone cap blocks for a neat, finished top edge
Fill garden beds with soil or mulch as needed
