GroWall by Envirolok is a vegetative alternative to traditional hardscape walls and shorelines. GroWall is simple to install, easy to permit, and designed for DIY installations, small-scale landscape design, and home projects. The non-woven geotextile bags permanently encapsulate the soil for maximum stability. The one-of-a-kind connection system provides strength, making the entire system strong and long-lasting. The GroWall system supports plant growth by allowing roots to grow through the bags and lock into the soil beneath, providing strong reinforcement and creating beautiful, fully vegetated projects that will stand the test of time.

GroWall makes building retaining walls simple for any homeowner. GroWall provides a permanent vegetative solution for decorative or structural retaining walls. The system is perfect for window wells, grade transitions at walk-out basements, culvert embankments, and more!

Unlike stone, concrete, and wood, there is no need for footings, foundations, or extensive drainage systems. Create terraces, curves, and straight lines without the need for cutting or purchasing special tools. The specialized connection system provides strength for walls up to 3 feet tall.

Need a taller wall? GroWall offers reinforced kits with our patented stabilizer strips allowing single walls up to 4 feet tall or terraced walls up to 6 feet tall. Walls can be constructed at a 1:1 slope to nearly vertical.

After construction is finished, make your outdoor living space the talk of the neighborhood by adding your own personal touch with any variety of grasses, flowers, groundcovers, sedum mats, or even sod on the vertical faces of the wall!

How do I determine how many bags I’ll need?

We recommend determining the height and length of your project first. A filled bag will be approximately 2 feet long, and 4 inches tall. From there, calculate the number of bags that you need and order the corresponding kit size.

Height (Feet) / .33(Feet) = # of Bags High

Length (Feet) / 2 (Feet) = # of Bags Long

# of Bags High x # of Bags Long = # of Bags You Will Need

Example: You are looking to build a retaining wall that is 20 feet long and 2.5 feet high using GroWall.

Height: 2.5ft / 0.33ft = 8 Bags High (Rounded Up)

Length: 20ft / 2ft = 10 Bags Long

 8 x 10 = 80 GroWall Bags Needed

Notes:

• Do NOT cut the bags to insert plant material.
• If your wall will end up being taller than 3 feet be sure to include the stabilizer strips between rows/courses.
