Maintaing your Terraforce wall
Maintaining such a structure requires regular attention to ensure its integrity and appearance. Key maintenance practices include monitoring and replacing cracked blocks if the crack width exceeds 0.5mm, keeping plantable spaces free of weeds and inappropriate vegetation, refilling any voids caused by wind or water with coarse sand or gravel, and regularly inspecting grouted interfaces.
