Its interlocking, stackable design replaces bulky gravel basins, reduces liner and underlayment needs, and shortens installation time for both landscape professionals and DIYers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does AquaBlox increase storage compared to a gravel basin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small AquaBlox stores roughly 7.4 gallons per cubic foot, delivering over three times the water-holding capacity of an equivalent gravel volume. That means you get significantly more usable water inside a much smaller reservoir, reducing how often you need to top off for evaporation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHolds 17 gallons in a compact 26.5 x 16 x 9.5-inch block\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproximately 3x more storage than gravel for the same footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLess evap-related topping off and lower maintenance frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan AquaBlox support landscaping and foot traffic above the reservoir?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the load-bearing top is engineered to handle heavy surface loads, making it suitable under pathways, patios, and planted surfaces.
