I hope that helps.
Generally, I look up the definition of words used in contexts that I don't expect; in this case, a "palisade wall."

There are several manufacturers of this system. I had all their (the clients) quotes from suppliers showing geogrid (but no drawing). I thought it was a Mesa wall system, however, it was not. Yesterday, after I gave him the design on the system, THEN he gives me the "suggested" detail from a drawing. It uses a metal basket with geogrid to retain the soil, so it's really more of a reinforced earth wall. Vegetation can actually grow on its face. It's dirt cheap (pun intended) compared to other retaining systems. I think I'm going to use it on another job I'm doing. Tensar Corporation's version is called SierraSlope.
