Four Things to Decide When Ordering Concrete Blocks
When it comes to ordering concrete blocks for your construction projects in Jefferson County, MO, there are four key decisions you need to make. These choices will determine the functionality, appearance, and overall success of your project.
TYPE:
The type of block you choose is crucial for your project’s structure and design. It affects how the blocks fit together and the kind of walls you can build. There are three main types to consider:
KNOBSTYLE
- Rectangular block with two knobs on top centered with two holes on the bottom, allowing it to fit together like giant Legos®. You can make straight walls with 90° corners. These blocks are great for projects that need strong, stable walls with a clean, modern look.
LANDSCAPE
- Tapered sides allow for the construction of straight walls with 90° corners or curved walls with up to 14′ radius (measured to the back of the block). Landscape blocks have two knobs on top setback 2″ towards retained earth, allowing each course to have a 2″ setback. They also have one continuous trough on the bottom with the same setback, allowing them to interlock. This type is perfect for retaining walls or landscaping projects that need both strength and flexibility in design.
NON-INTERLOCKING
- Rectangular block with lifting eye in center of block, but no knobs or holes. These blocks are ideal for simple, straightforward projects where interlocking isn’t necessary, or for temporary structures that may need to be moved or rearranged.
SIZE:
The size of the concrete blocks you choose impacts the scale of your project and how quickly it can be completed. Here are your options:
- 24″ x 24″ x 48″ (Knob style & Landscape)
- 30″ x 30″ x 60″ (Knob style only)
- 24″ x 24″ x 96″ (Non-interlocking)
DECORATIVE OR NON-DECORATIVE
The appearance of your blocks can greatly affect the overall look of your project. You have two main choices:
DECORATIVE
Decorative blocks add visual interest and can mimic natural materials:
- Cut stone
- Random stack
- Boulder
NON-DECORATIVE
Non-decorative blocks offer a simpler, more uniform appearance:
- Bevel edge
- Non-bevel edge
The choice between decorative and non-decorative concrete blocks depends on the aesthetic you’re aiming for. Decorative blocks can add character and blend with natural surroundings, while non-decorative blocks provide a clean, modern look that’s often preferred for industrial or commercial projects.
TOP CAP:
Top caps finish off your wall, providing a polished look and extra protection. Your options include:
- 24″ x 24″ x 48″ Decorative recessed
- 12″ x 24″ x 48″ Beveled edge smooth
- 15″ x 30″ x 60″ Beveled edge smooth
By carefully considering these four factors – type, size, decorative style, and top cap – you’ll be well-equipped to order the perfect concrete blocks for your construction project in Jefferson County, MO. Remember, the right choice depends on your specific needs, the nature of your project, and the look you want to achieve.
