Coloured Easy Lock Block backyard

Blocks have come a long way both with aesthetics and easy of use. They come in various shapes and sizes, each offering unique functional qualities for all types of garden and retaining walls. Whether you’re revamping your backyard garden or wanting to build your own retaining wall, achieving the desired look and functionality of your project is important.

Block sizes typically vary to accommodate different applications and design preferences. From small garden edging, medium sized blocks for garden walls or large hollow blocks to fill for retaining walls or even to create tiered gardens or seats. Let’s take a closer look at some popular choices:

These blocks are easy to handle and lightweight, making it easy to create your own edging and garden wall.

Benefits of 250mm blocks is that they are easy to work out how many you need for your walling (eg 4 blocks gives you a metre of walling).

Solid blocks are a strong option for garden walls and can be stacked on top of each other or in a stretcher bond format.

Hollow core blocks are used when core filling with aggregate is required where additional drainage is required or additional strength for wall height. These hollow blocks are also used when building a fence on top of a retaining wall – poles can be placed inside the block for the fencing.

Stackable or interlocking blocks are perfect for DIY projects. As these blocks have self locating interlocking lugs, makes stacking each block much easier to do.
