SmartSlope: Vegetated Retaining Wall | Smart Design
SmartSlope vegetated retaining wall located at Dakota Crossing.
Why not be smarter about how we design retaining walls? SmartSlope is a vegetated retaining wall with unmatched strength. Furbish develops products to find more elegant ways to solve ordinary challenges. So when we tackled the problem of finding innovative eco-friendly solutions to structural retaining walls, we modeled SmartSlope on nature’s multi-functional and elegant approach… and SmartSlope was born.

SmartSlope is a vegetated retaining wall system comprised of open-celled pre-cast concrete modules. The system utilizes a polymeric reinforcement strap. Each module is stacked in a staggered pattern that creates planting pockets. The pockets are filled with growth media and planted. The entire face of the wall will be covered with vegetation upon grow out.
