Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned · Shipped Nationwide
Large concrete blocks that stack and lock without mortar. Use them for walls, material bins and site barriers, with sizes from about 1,000 lb to 4,000 lb and delivery to job sites nationwide.
Detachment 5 Block supplies large concrete blocks to contractors, municipalities and site managers across the country. Many crews call them mafia blocks or bin blocks. Each one is precast in a controlled setting and cured before it ships, so it can be set the day it arrives.
Think of them as a building kit at full scale. There is no cutting, no mortar and no waiting for concrete to cure on site. A machine sets each block, and the next one locks on top.
Each block is cast with raised knobs on top and matching recesses underneath. When a block is lowered onto the course below, the two fit together and the unit's weight holds it there.
Large blocks earn their keep where something has to stay put.
Strength ratings matter, but what counts is whether the wall moves. Here is what happens after installation.
Soil and water push on a wall around the clock. Mass and full-face contact spread that force out, and the interlock stops courses from creeping or leaning.
Water that gets into weak concrete freezes and cracks it. Dense, well-cured blocks limit that damage, so the wall holds shape winter after winter.
Rain, sun and snow do not wear these blocks down in a year or two. Once set, they keep doing their job with close to zero maintenance.
People buy these blocks because something on site has to stay where it is.
Use them where poured concrete would take too long or cost too much. They handle grade changes and erosion without long cure times, and the land behind them stays usable.
Build bays for gravel, sand, salt or recycling. Because nothing is mortared, you can move walls when your stock or layout changes, which keeps the yard tidy.
Silage bunkers, grain separation and equipment yards see heavy daily use. These blocks take shifting loads without cracking and can be reused as operations grow.
Separate lanes, close off a perimeter or protect a building. Unlike plastic or wood barriers, a multi-ton block stays where you put it.
Some jobs only need strength. Others also need a face that looks good in public. We supply both.
The plain gray workhorse for contractors, developers and municipalities. Choose these when speed and strength matter more than looks.
Built-in connection points line up each unit with the next, which keeps rows straight and limits shifting between layers. Installing them takes three steps:
A rugged, textured face for entrance walls, commercial landscapes and walls that sit in plain view.
A cleaner architectural look for streetscapes, mixed-use projects and commercial exteriors, where raw concrete would feel too industrial.
Textured to look like layered stone, for upscale landscape work and visible walls near homes. Every finish keeps the same structural strength as a plain block.
Bigger blocks cover more wall per lift but need heavier equipment. Match the block to the wall height and to the machine you have on site.
| Size (H x W x L) | Approx. weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 2′ x 2′ x 3′ | 1,000+ lb | Short walls, tight spaces, flexible layouts |
| 2′ x 2′ x 4′ | about 2,000–2,800 lb | Commercial bays and standard walls |
| 2′ x 2′ x 6′ | about 3,500–4,000 lb | Industrial storage and high-load walls |
Gravity is what holds these walls. The heavier the unit, the better it resists sliding and overturning, which is why many walls built from large blocks need no complex footing.
Small blocks suit tight sites and lighter machines. Mid-size blocks fit most commercial jobs. Tall walls and heavy barriers call for the 6-foot block, which goes up fastest. Exact weight depends on the mix, so we confirm it with your quote.
01
A service-disabled veteran-owned company, run with the discipline a job site needs. We are registered in SAM.gov for government buyers.
02
You buy from the supplier, not a dealer, so there is no middleman markup and one less party to coordinate.
03
Consistent size and strength on every truck, so crews do not have to adjust as the wall goes up.
04
We ship nationwide, so contractors with sites in several regions can order everything through one supplier.
05
Tell us the wall and the load. We help pick the block type and quantity before you order.
Our work does not end when the truck leaves. We plan the delivery and the first lifts with you.
Multi-ton blocks need truck access and a clear drop zone. We check site access and set the delivery time before the truck rolls.
We advise on where to stage blocks to avoid moving them twice, how to set the first course, and how to lift large units safely.
Lead times depend on order size and distance. Large jobs can get staged deliveries that follow the construction schedule, with the same block on every load.

Walls that hold back soil, storage bins for bulk materials, traffic and security barriers, and structures on farms and industrial yards. Anywhere you need heavy, stable mass that stacks.
They can be. Once stacked and backfilled they are very stable. Because nothing is mortared, they can also be lifted out and reused if the site changes.
Our large blocks run from about 1,000 lb for a 2′ x 2′ x 3′ unit to about 3,500–4,000 lb for a 2′ x 2′ x 6′ unit. Exact weight depends on the mix and is confirmed on your quote.
No. The interlock and the weight of each block hold the wall together without mortar or adhesive.
Decades in most conditions. They are made to handle weather, soil pressure and freeze-thaw cycles with very little wear.
It depends on wall height, the load behind the wall and site conditions. Short walls can use smaller blocks; tall or heavily loaded walls need the larger units. An engineer should size any structural wall.
Yes. We deliver across the United States and plan each shipment around the order size, the site and your schedule.
Tell us the block size, how many you need and where they are going. We will send back a price and a delivery plan.
