What type of blocks do we offer?
Typically, the most readily available blocks are what we call V-wedge blocks. They have a male wedge that extends out about 4” along the top and one end. On the bottom of the block and the other end, they have the reverse female wedge. The wedges allow the blocks to interlock top to bottom and side to side. They also have a rebar handle in the center of the top to allow them to be easily moved around. They generally come in two sizes: 6’L x 2’W x 2’H (3,600 lbs) and 3’L x 2’W x 2’H (1800 lbs). Please talk with a member of our staff to discuss the blocks currently available for your project. If you need large concrete retaining wall blocks in Cedar Rapids, IA reach out to us today!

How to Get Your Blocks
When it comes to transportation of your ecology blocks in Cedar Rapids, IA we can offer either delivery or pick up. For delivery, you must have equipment to offload the blocks once the truck arrives. We can fit up to (13) of the 6’ long blocks or up to (26) of the 3’ long blocks on each truck. For the truck to properly enter and exit your site, there must be space for a tractor-trailer to maneuver. If you do not have a turn-around for the truck, we can discuss dropping the blocks at a nearby location. You then can use smaller machinery to transport the blocks to the actual job site. Because the trailer is typically a height of 5’ and the blocks are each 2’ in height, the machinery you plan on using to unload the blocks must be able to reach a height of at least 7’+.
In addition, depending on the size of the block being delivered, your equipment must also be able to lift up to 3,600 or 1,800 lbs. These blocks take no special rigging, and all you will need to do is attach a chain to the rebar handle loop located atop the block. If you prefer transportation via pick-up, you will need to give us a call and speak to someone from our team. They will set you up with a date and time to visit our plant and we will have someone load the blocks onto your trailer for you! All we ask is that you provide us with a set of chains and/or straps to secure the blocks to the trailer bed. If you have any questions please let us know: 319-576-7170.
