Had to pick between a 4-inch and 6-inch block for a garden wall last month
I was building a curved wall for a client in Springfield and they wanted it to look heavy. I mean, the 6-inch block would have been easier to lay up straight, but the 4-inch stuff just looks too thin for the look they wanted. I went with the 6-inch, even though it meant a bigger footing and more mortar. It took two full days instead of one, but when we finished, the homeowner said it looked 'solid as a bank'. Anyone else ever have a client pick looks over speed and how did you price it?
