| Here is a link that discusses
the general sizes of concrete blocks. This page will talk about some
of the shapes and styles that the blocks come in. First, a block can very easily be made solid. However, very few sizes of solid concrete blocks are produced since they are quite heavy. We regularly produce solid 2 inch (better known as a patio block), 3 inch and 4 inch blocks. We may have larger solid block available, so call to check the availability. Next, the shape that most think of when discussing concrete blocks is the stretcher.
These are the blocks that are used the most in construction of a concrete block wall. Stretchers will usually have 2 or 3 cores per block, and some even have only a single core. The following table gives the solids and stretchers that we regularly produce:
