This patent provides designs for an ecologically friendly gravity retaining walls using a wide variety of building materials. This patent provides a method to build gravity walls using random fill. Where fill material is placed and then grouted in a specific way to form a solid mass. The primary problem with grouting loose fill to form a solid mass is that it needs confinement. This patent presents steps to create a confined space for grouting a structural section to provide horizontal support of an external mass. This is accomplished by dividing the wall into three sections. From front to back, these are the face, the structural section, and the back drainage sections. By grouting these separately and tying them together with modified concrete covered rebar a complete wall can be built in a very efficient manner. Initially planter blocks were included, now those claims are submitted under application Ser. No. 18/507,899.
