140mm Concrete Block

1. What are concrete blocks?
Concrete blocks are dense, durable masonry units made from cement, aggregates, and water. They are widely used in construction and landscaping for their strength and versatility.

2. What are the typical uses for concrete blocks in garden settings?

Concrete blocks are ideal for a range of outdoor projects, including:

• Building garden walls and raised beds
• Creating retaining structures for sloped areas
• Forming bases for sheds, greenhouses, or storage units
• Constructing edging around lawns, flower beds, and pathways
• Supporting outdoor seating and hardscape features

3. What are the benefits of using concrete blocks in landscaping?

Durability: Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy loads

Low maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep once installed

Versatility: Can be used in both structural and decorative projects

Fire and pest resistance: Non-combustible and impervious to insects or rot

Cost-effective: Long-lasting solution with minimal replacements required

4. Can concrete blocks be used in small garden spaces?
Yes, concrete blocks are suitable for gardens of all sizes. They are easy to stack and arrange, making them ideal for compact designs or bespoke features in smaller areas.

5. How are concrete blocks installed?
They are typically laid on a firm, level base using mortar or concrete adhesive. Proper alignment and levelling are important to ensure structural integrity, especially for vertical constructions like walls.

6. Can the appearance of concrete blocks be customised?
Yes, concrete blocks can be rendered, painted, or clad with other materials like stone veneer or tiles to match the overall style of your garden.

7. Will concrete blocks change in appearance over time?
Exposure to the elements may cause slight discolouration or surface weathering, but this often adds a natural, aged character. The blocks themselves remain structurally sound over many years.
