Landscape Blocks For Sale

Submitted by Bob Mark on Thu, 07/15/2010 - 4:41pm

Upper Valley MEND has approximately 230 landscape blocks for sale.  These blocks are 10" x 6" x 16" in size, and retail for approximately $3.00 each.  We will be offering them for $1.50 each.  You can view these blocks on the Home Deopt website.

Here is a description for how they are used: 
A stone wall brings an unmatched sense of permanence to the home landscape. Wall stones can be configured in a variety of shapes and designs. They are environmentally friendly, easy-to-install and attractive! Landscape walls let you level out areas of your property where the lawn slopes away from the house. This makes it easier to maintain your yard and also makes it more aesthetically pleasing. Walls complement the natural landscaping allowing true freedom of expression. A self-aligning rear lip and automatic setback allows stable, hassle free installation. Angular units accommodate both curved and straight walls to naturally flow with landscape contours.

You can also visit Cornerstone Community Adult Family Home and see how a group of volutneers from the North Minister Presbytarian Church in Ballard, together with local landscape architect Marvin Speer, used these blocks to build a retaining wall.
