Concrete block walls aren't glamorous, but they're the backbone of half the structures in West Michigan. Foundation walls, retaining walls, garage walls, equipment enclosures — when you need something strong and straight, block is usually the answer.
We lay CMU (concrete masonry unit) block for residential and light commercial projects. That means proper footings poured below the frost line, cores filled with grout and rebar where the engineering calls for it, and every course checked for level and plumb.
Here's where block wall projects go wrong: bad footings and skipped reinforcement. We've seen retaining walls tip over because somebody set block on a gravel pad instead of a real footing. We've seen foundation walls crack because the rebar was left out. These aren't corners you cut in Michigan.
Our block wall work covers Grand Rapids, Ada, Forest Hills, East Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Wyoming, Walker, and surrounding communities. From a simple garden wall to a full basement foundation, we bring the same structural standards to every project.
Block walls can also look great. With the right cap stones, a veneer finish, or even just well-tooled mortar joints, a concrete block wall becomes a design element instead of just a utility feature. We help you figure out what level of finish makes sense for your project.
