ATLANTA--()--Belgard®, the leader in outdoor living essentials, announces the availability of its newest retaining wall system, Diamond Pro® Air. Designed with a cutting-edge locator system and ultra-lightweight construction, Diamond Pro Air is engineered to deliver both superior performance and installation efficiency for a wide variety of residential and commercial retaining wall applications.

Diamond Pro Air is a versatile product with a solution for any project challenge, ideal for building retaining walls up to 12 feet tall. Weighing only 54 lbs. per 1-square-foot block, it is significantly lighter than traditional retaining wall blocks, reducing handling time, increasing ease of installation and improving shipping efficiencies. The innovative product is suited for both gravity and geogrid-reinforced wall systems, offering enhanced design flexibility and installation options.

“We’re proud to offer Diamond Pro Air to our partners and contractors, adding another innovative solution to our portfolio of products,” says Jason Dean, SVP of Pro Sales, Oldcastle APG. “This product combines all the benefits of easy handling, efficient installation, and long-lasting durability, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a top-quality solution. We’re excited to introduce this to the market and help our contractors realize the benefits of this product in their own operations.”

Diamond Pro Air offers several benefits to both residential and commercial contractors:

  • Lightweight Design: At only 54 lbs. per block, the Diamond Pro® Air is easy to transport, handle, and install, reducing labor time. Additionally, teams can save shipping costs by fitting up to 25% more product per truckload.
  • Versatile Applications: Ideal for retaining walls up to 12 feet in height, including gravity walls up to 3 feet 4 inches high, with the buried course.
  • Efficient Locator System: The innovative front lug design produces a 9/16″ per unit setback, creating a consistent 4° batter for a near-vertical, professional finish every time.
  • Reduced Cost: The lightweight blocks increase installation speed and minimize handling time, helping contractors complete projects faster and more cost-effectively.
  • Optimize Land Usage: The Diamond Pro® Air is perfect for curves, with a minimum outside radius of just 4 feet on the top course, and with its near vertical batter, it maximizes land use.
  • Design Variety: The customer can choose from a variety of block sizes and face styles to fit the look and feel of the project. Plus, each block has a matching cap and corner to make finishing the look simple.
