How to Estimate Retaining Wall Block

Retaining wall blocks are estimated by the face area of the wall (length times exposed height, any unit). Divide by the face coverage of one block, or enter blocks-per-square-foot directly - the preset covers common sizes. Most segmental blocks dry-stack over a compacted gravel base; add about 5% for breakage.
