The L300 is lighter and smaller, making it ideal for landscaping projects, garden walls, and retaining walls typically under 3 meters in height. Its manageable size makes it a popular choice for DIY installations.

Weight: ~29 kg
Blocks per m²: 10
L500 Loffelstein Block

Loffelstein L500

The L500 is a heavier, more robust block designed for more demanding applications. It is the preferred choice for higher walls, steep slopes, riverbank protection, and large commercial projects requiring maximum stability.

Weight: ~56 kg
Blocks per m²: 6.67
