A free browser calculator estimates blocks and caps for curved or straight retaining walls, with a companion app for more detailed sitework planning.
- For
- Retaining-wall builders and DIY planners
- Worth noticing
- Curve inputs include radius measured to the block front face and an angle capped at 180 degrees; estimates exclude several jobsite costs.
Field notes
Users can choose a named block system or enter custom face width, height and setback, then specify curve radius, angle and whether the radius is measured at the top or base course. The page offers a course-by-course breakdown and CSV export, while cautioning that product fit, cutting and jobsite conditions can change quantities. It says the companion app adds sitework planning and 3D views; full PDF export and field records require Pro.
