The exact same question to ask
when buying Concrete Blocks
Want \a strong block ? Then insist on a heavy block.
One of the surest tests on the strength of a block is on the
quality and proportion of the ingredients.
Proper ingredients, right proportions, and controlled finishing
are bound to produce blocks.
You can buy New Holland Concrete Blocks with confidence
They are made to stand the test !
