Decorative Concrete Block Walls
DECORATIVE & ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE BLOCK
Decorative concrete block walls use architectural CMU units — split-face, ground-face, burnished, scored, and colored block — for visible applications where appearance matters. We build decorative block privacy walls, screen walls (with decorative openings), garden walls, commercial facade accents, and entry pilasters. Color options include integral pigmented block and painted finishes. All decorative walls include proper footings and drainage.
Starting at $15 per face sq ft

FAQs About Decorative Concrete Block Walls
How high can a decorative block wall be without engineering?
Most municipalities allow freestanding walls up to 4 feet without structural engineering. Walls over 4 feet typically require engineering, additional reinforcement, and possibly a building permit. Check your local building codes — requirements vary by jurisdiction.
