Abstract

Retaining wall blocks, retaining wall system formed thereby, and method for manufacturing the retaining wall blocks. Each block includes at least one mounting surface including a groove (49) for securing a stabilizing element (51) therein. Each block also including aligning elements (29,30) extending upwardly from an upper surface of the block body. The aligning elements of the lower blocks fit into the void of the upper block and assist in aligning the upper block on the lower blocks and optionally, in securing a reinforcing structure (22) placed between the layers.
