​Introducing the first complete system for building landscaping walls without concrete masonry units (CMUs). Save time, money, materials, labor and the environment with a faster, easier, more profitable system.

What it's made of?

It's a light weight rigid foam material
​that replaces traditional cinder blocks.

Just as strong as a traditional block wall

Cement is still poured in through the center of the blocks
​to give it strength, just like a cinder block wall.

Wall stability

Pier holes of 8-12" in diameter are excavated every several feet and filled with concrete as a foundation.  The wall itself ties each footer together, making it as strong as any cinder block wall.  This eliminates the need for a big 2ft x 3ft  concrete foundation to be poured the entire length of the wall, saving at least 50% of the cost of the foundation itself.

Wall finishes

In order for the wall to have that nice stucco'd look, apply H-Base Coast and H-Mesh for stuccoing H-Forms wall to be painted.  It's simple to do if you're handy but if not, any contractor should be able to do this for you.

Finished Walls

The H-Forms system requires a fraction of resources used on conventional Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) landscape wall construction, and virtually eliminates waste.

more about how it's made

H-Forms are manufactured with expanded polystyrene (EPS), a closed-cell, lightweight rigid-foam made from by-products of the refining of crude oil. EPS does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or formaldehyde. Easily recycled, EPS is a commodity of high value for producers of recycled plastic. They are manufactured under strict EPA guidelines and tested periodically by UL.
​
H-Forms blocks have one-third to one-quarter of the embodied energy (the energy required to mine, harvest, grow, manufacture, ship and unload material to a building site) of concrete masonry units (CMUs).
