My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Love the concrete block here.

Really like the look and design of this concrete block retaining wall. Can you share the details of this specific type of blocks?

    That is a ground-faced block with a slight brown color. The order can get complicated to spec which sides and ends get ground.

    It looks great, especially in the linear pattern. Is there a significant difference between the ground and unground sides? Is the aggregate much different than standard cinder block?
