Concrete blocks, also called concrete masonry units (CMU), come in numerous sizes, strengths, and configurations for different construction applications. Understanding the options helps you select the right blocks for your specific project.
Concrete block products we supply:
• Standard CMU Blocks – 8x8x16 inch hollow core blocks for structural walls and construction
• 4-Inch CMU Blocks – Thinner blocks for non-load-bearing partition walls
• Half Blocks – Partial-length blocks for finishing walls and creating patterns









Understanding concrete block specifications helps ensure you order products appropriate for your application. Blocks vary in strength, density, and configuration:
• Standard Dimensions – 8x8x16 inches (nominal), actual dimensions slightly smaller for mortar joints
• Load-Bearing Capability – Engineered blocks rated for structural applications vs. non-load-bearing blocks
Common concrete block applications:
• Exterior Walls – Weather-resistant blocks creating structural and thermal building envelopes
• Residential Construction – Homes, garages, workshops, and outbuildings
• Landscape Walls – Decorative and functional walls in landscape designs
• Fire-Rated Assemblies – Block walls providing fire resistance between spaces
Our climate extremes make concrete block construction attractive—blocks provide excellent thermal mass helping moderate temperature swings, superior fire resistance important in our dry climate, and durability withstanding our weather without degrading like some materials. However, proper installation is critical. Blocks must be installed on solid foundations accounting for our clay soil movement, and proper reinforcement and grouting are essential in our seismic zone. We provide guidance on these considerations with every block supply order.
When you call (817) 518-8796), we'll discuss your project in detail to recommend appropriate concrete blocks. We'll help calculate quantities including waste factors, explain installation requirements, suggest complementary materials like mortar and reinforcement, and provide competitive quotes. For large commercial projects, we can coordinate delivery schedules matching your construction timeline.

Last summer, I worked with a homeowner in Ridglea who was building a workshop behind his house and wanted to use concrete block construction for durability and fire resistance. He'd visited several building supply stores and gotten conflicting advice about what type of blocks he needed, how many to order, and whether he could handle the installation himself. When he called me, I spent thirty minutes walking him through the differences between standard CMU blocks and solid blocks, calculating exactly how many he'd need including waste factor, and explaining proper installation techniques.

"I dreaded replacing my driveway, but JK Concrete made it painless. They showed up on time, explained everything, and even fixed a drainage issue I didn't know about without upselling me. Eight months later, my driveway still looks perfect while my neighbor's (done by another company) is already cracking. Best decision I made."

"We needed stamped concrete that wouldn't look out of place on our 1920s home. JK Concrete nailed it - looks like genuine stone, complements the house perfectly. The crew was professional, cleaned up daily, and finished on schedule. Three neighbors have already asked for their number."

"I called about foundation cracks expecting the worst. Instead of scaring me into expensive repairs, they honestly explained what was cosmetic and what actually needed fixing. Fixed the real issue two years ago and haven't had problems since. When I needed my driveway done, I didn't even get other quotes."
