At Green Gravity Walls, we design and supply retaining wall systems that deliver far more than just soil retention – they enable sustainable development, support habitat creation, and enhance the visual landscape.
Our proprietary ECO-MSE (Mechanically Stabilised Earth) bag system is a modern, concrete-free alternative to traditional retaining walls. Engineered from high-strength, non-woven geotextile and tested to rigorous international standards, ECO-MSE bags can be filled with soil or granular aggregate and vegetated to create robust, living retaining structures that blend naturally into their surroundings.
ECO-MSE walls support the growth of grasses, wildflowers, and native plants, making them ideal for projects aiming to achieve – and exceed – Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) targets. Once vegetated, the system becomes carbon-neutral, enhancing environmental credentials.
With a 100+ year design life, our retaining walls are UV, chemical, and biologically resistant. They offer high load-bearing capacity and drainage capability, meeting the demands of civil engineering, rail, flood defence, and landscaping sectors.
The modular design allows for quick and efficient builds, reducing installation time and labour costs. Suitable for small-scale landscaping projects through to major infrastructure works.
ECO-MSE retaining walls can be adapted to straight, curved, or tiered layouts on a variety of terrains – perfect for sites with restricted access or remote locations where heavy machinery use is limited.
Embankment & Slope Stabilisation
ECO-MSE walls provide a flexible, modular solution for stabilising embankments and preventing slope failure. Whether supporting a railway cutting, strengthening a highway verge, or repairing a landslide-prone embankment, the system delivers structural reinforcement while promoting natural drainage. Granular-filled bags allow for rapid water dispersal, reducing hydrostatic pressure behind the wall, while vegetated soil-filled bags restore the natural appearance of the site and prevent further erosion.
Structural Retaining Walls
The ECO-MSE system can be engineered to create permanent retaining walls for a variety of civil, commercial, and landscaping projects. Common uses include:
Garden and landscape terraces that combine stability with a green finish
Industrial site earth retention for storage yards or loading areas
Road and rail embankment support, particularly where space is limited and conventional concrete construction is impractical
Headwalls and culverts, providing structural containment around drainage points while integrating with the surrounding environment
BNG & Environmental Projects
As a hydroseeding-ready system, ECO-MSE retaining walls can be quickly vegetated with wildflowers, grasses, or native plant species to improve biodiversity. This makes them an ideal choice for developments subject to Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements, as the wall itself becomes an active contributor to habitat creation. Once vegetation is established, the wall achieves a carbon-neutral status, locking in long-term ecological value.
Load-Bearing Capability with Geogrid Reinforcement
When combined with geogrid reinforcement layers, ECO-MSE retaining walls can be engineered as structural load-bearing systems capable of withstanding significant earth pressures. This allows them to replace traditional concrete and blockwork retaining walls in many scenarios, offering:
Reduced material costs
Faster installation times
Lower embedded carbon
The ability to adapt to curves, slopes, and complex site geometries
