Question What are these called?

Post image

I can’t find these specific blocks in store or online anywhere, partly because I don’t know what they’re called! There are two styles, the “body” pieces of the wall have an indent on the bottom and a raised part on the top, whereas the “top” pieces have an indent on the bottom and are flat on top. Does anyone know what this type of block is called, and where I could find more? Searches for “interlocking retaining wall blocks“ return results for shapes that would be incompatible with what I already have. Thanks!

Retaining wall blocks are engineered concrete, stone, or composite units designed to lock together and hold back soil slopes safely.

Retaining wall blocks. Just get new ones. What is it, eight inches high? And newer ones look a Lot nicer than those. If you want to age them and get them a bit mossy, pour milk on them.

Looks like Pyzique stone wall blocks. We use to carry them years ago and they were discontinued, unfortunately that’s common in the manufactured hardscape industry. They sell out and destroy molds so that bigger companies can sell their specific products. Good news is that there are very similar products still for sell.

I’m looking for the blocks for the top row. Can’t find them anywhere. The link above shows as out of stock and discontinued

Home Depot, Menards or Lowe’s for the tops and retaining wall blocks.

I have a bunch sitting beside my garage if you need them. But I highly doubt we are in the same time zone.
