Concrete Block and CMU Supplier in Norfolk, Virginia
At Batchelder & Collins, we offer different types of concrete block for your next project. Whether you are working on foundations, crawl spaces, freestanding walls, or masonry backup walls, you can order the block and CMU you need at our Norfolk, Virginia, showroom. Our team can help you source the block, mortar, and masonry supplies your project needs from one local stop.
Order the Right Concrete Block for Your Project
Order standard gray concrete block from Tidewater Block for projects such as:
- Foundations
- Crawl space walls
- Masonry backup walls
- Freestanding walls and garden borders
These concrete masonry units (CMU) are what many customers call cinder block. Bring your project’s block specifications, and we can review your options and put together a quote.
For exposed walls, explore architectural block from York Building Products to find the color and texture you want.
We order in most of our products, so contact us early to check availability and plan your order around your project schedule.
Put Block to Work Where You Need Strength

From foundation walls to exposed masonry, concrete block serves a range of building and outdoor projects.
Find Block for Foundation and Crawl Space Walls
For a new foundation or crawl space wall, start with the block specifications in your project plans. We can help you confirm availability before you place your order.
Raise Freestanding and Garden Walls
Ask us about concrete block for freestanding garden walls and yard borders, or explore our retaining wall block with your contractor if the wall will hold back soil.
Build the Base for an Outdoor Kitchen
Block often forms the hidden core of an outdoor kitchen, with brick or stone veneer finishing the outside. We can help you compare brick and stone veneer for the finished look you want.
Support Brick and Veneer Walls
On new construction and additions, block often serves as the backup wall behind brick or veneer, with the block specified in your project plans.
Finish the Job With Mortar and Masonry Supplies
A block wall needs more than block. Traveling to different stores to get the rest of your materials can slow a job down. At Batchelder & Collins, you can order much more than concrete block, like:
- Mortar in a range of colors and Portland cement
- Masonry tools for laying and finishing block
- Vents and doors for block walls
- Glass block for a light-filled panel in a block wall
Our team can help you compare mortar and cement options and match a mortar color to your block.
Source Your Block From a Family Supplier Since 1868
A block order goes more smoothly with a supplier who understands local projects. Our staff can compare finishes and check lead times before you order.
We’ve been family-owned and operating since 1868 and are now in our fifth generation, led by President Frank Wozniak Jr., the great-grandson of founder Captain William Collins. We’re active members of the Brick Industry Association and the American Institute of Architects, and our Norfolk and Williamsburg showrooms are open to the public.
