Innovators at Anchor Block Company, St. Paul, Minnesota, invented a pinless, mortarless retaining wall system in 1989. They called their original system ANCHOR DIAMOND¨. Anchor Wall Systems was started to establish an international network of independent concrete block manufacturers to bring the ANCHOR DIAMOND products to commercial and residential markets around the world. Now based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, Anchor Wall Systems is one of the leading developers and licensors of concrete segmental retaining wall systems.

The product line has grown from the original ANCHOR DIAMOND to include ANCHOR WINDSOR STONE¨, ANCHOR SAHARA STONE¨, ANCHOR BORDER STONE¨, ANCHOR DIAMOND PRO™, and the ANCHOR VERTICA¨ Series. These products are used in projects that range from comprehensive land conservation solutions for commercial contractors to do-it-yourself landscaping solutions for homeowners.
