I'm not sure just where this question goes, but I'll ask anyway. We have a lot of the cement blocks (with the two holes)and I was curious if these would be good as a landscape retaining wall. they are about 14"x7 1/2"x7 1/2"
blocks. We have about 50 of them, and if they aren't good for a retaining wall, any other suggestions as to what they would be good for!
thanks.

I'm not sure if the blocks are stackable or for mortared construction. Either way they could be used for a retaining wall given a design, footing, plus an approved assembly method.

Some people use them as shelf supports for storage or books. Others use them for boat anchors. They may be used for conventional block masonry projects (barbecue anyone?) or any other imaginative way.
