LEARN HOW TO LAY BLOCKS

Start mixing as instructed. The first course of blocks should be installed below floor level and inside the foundation trench. This first line of concrete blocks shall rest on top of a layer of mortar mix. Spread mortar along the sides of the block and remove the excess mortar with a trowel.

Repeat until the first course has been installed. Check the course with a level. Then, even it out with a thicker layer of mortar, if it is not. For best result make sure there is a 3/8 inch gap between the blocks. This gap will then become the vertical joint.

Installing the Second Course on a Concrete Block Wall

Repeat the action performed in the previous step to add another course of blocks.

Blocks can be set in such way that will create an interlocking pattern meaning that the ends of one course of blocks sit above the center of the blocks beneath them. Keep installing blocks and try to install no more than six courses per day. Allow the mortar to set completely before continuing to lay concrete blocks. Once the mortar is hard, remove excess mortar and smooth the joints.
