Concrete blocks offer plenty of advantages in landscaping and construction projects compared to alternative materials. One of the biggest advantages of using classic concrete blocks is the natural strength of concrete as a building material. Concrete is a much stronger material due to the manufacturing process that tightly packs the aggregate together, making the concrete stronger than other common building materials. This means that concrete will be much more resistant to wear and tear and other damage. This makes them especially effective for use in retaining walls as concrete block walls are highly resistant to extreme weather conditions such as floods, hot temperatures, strong winds, and even fire.
Another major advantage of concrete barrier blocks is their versatility. Block-Lite offers blocks for retaining walls in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, and designs so no matter your landscaping vision, you will be able to find a block that fits your needs. In addition to the diversity of the type of blocks offered, they also offer unmatched flexibility when it comes to design. A wall made from concrete blocks can take almost any shape to guarantee the final project is what you envisioned.
Finally, a concrete block wall has a low material and low installation cost compared to other methods. Once installed, your new block retaining wall will not require frequent maintenance.
