Allan Block Retaining Wall Colors

Allan Blocks come in 4 main colors, and from that typically we mix and match to create a few more options.

Here are the most popular color combinations:

Grey Block With Grey Cap

Grey Block With Charcoal Cap

Silverado Block With Charcoal Cap

Charcoal Block With Charcoal Cap

Rocky Mountain Block With Charcoal Cap

Important to note. Caps do not come in Silverado, or Rocky Mountain. The correct cap for both of these colors is Charcoal.

Price differences:

Grey block and grey caps are the cheapest option, while adding a color to either the block or cap is about $1-2/ piece.

Grey retaining wall blocks and caps can be painted/stained with appropriate products from a paint supplier. However, unless you are going for a custom color the value associated with using a factory Allan Block color is maintenance free for life, and no paint/labor costs.

A lot of clients are initially drawn to using grey for the blocks and caps due to cost. We do our best to help the client decide if that is truly their best decision long term.

As a client your job is to come up with the money for the project, and as a trained, certified Allan Block installer it’s one of our jobs to ensure you are really well educated and can make the best decision for your family and resale down the road.
