The Story of GS2 Wall Systems

GS2 represents a revolutionary approach to wall construction, combining innovation, engineering excellence, and years of hands-on experience. Developed by the CalWalls team, GS2 is designed to address complex challenges in masonry and retaining wall systems, offering unmatched strength, speed, and versatility.

The history

After many years of building quality retaining walls for the family business, Paul Daysh realized that a better block would yield a better quality wall.

Thus, the concept of GS2 began with the goal of developing a more efficient, durable product. Over several years, the team at CalWalls explored different materials and methods, ultimately crafting a block that addresses common challenges in retaining wall construction, including stability, cost, and installation speed. The result was the GS2 Block, a cutting-edge, dry-stack masonry solution engineered to outperform traditional block systems.

Through years of research, testing, and real-world application, GS2 Wall Systems emerged as a solution capable of meeting the needs of contractors working in challenging conditions. Whether in difficult soil, on steep slopes, or in regions requiring soundproofing, GS2 Block delivered a reliable, cost-effective product that could be quickly installed without compromising on strength. This innovative block is the culmination of decades of experience and testing, fine-tuned to provide the best possible performance in a wide range of construction applications
