Finishing Options for your Allan Block wall

Finishing Options

Do you want to know a cost effective way to finish your wall? There are several options. You could use materials like mulch, rock or plantings to save money and time on finishing your project.

I found the raised front-lip Allan Block has provides a convenient built-in edging for a variety of finishing materials like mulch or landscape rock. You can plant right up to the front of the block by filling the top course of blocks with organic soils and your favorite planting materials. You could also consider hanging plants that drape over a wall; it really adds a dramatic effect. Allan Block Capstones can also be an option that gives the
wall a nice clean finish.

There are also several different options for ending and stepping down walls. If you want to find out more information on this topic click on the above link or visit allanblock.com.
