We have a cinder block wall in front of our property. Several cinder blocks have come loose and have fallen off. This makes our property look trashy. I would love some suggestions on not only how to repair this, but also on how to make this wall look better.
Thanks you much,
Bea Wilhelm

Tuckpointing bricks isn't much fun. Removeing the morter with a spacial chiosel and putting it back.

The cinderblocks can be stuccoed in a variety of ways from textured to flat. Textured migh look a lot better.

There are companies that place designs on concrete. I would not be surprised that they could make it look like a stone wall or even a fence.

I see you have posted the same question in more than one spot on the help desk. Does it freeze where you live? How thick is the wall and is it on a footing?

[beawilhelm]

It rarely freezes. We live in Atlanta Georgia. The wall is on a footing. It is a landscaping retaining wall. It has some settlement cracking, has never been painted and has some stains on it. I think it would look better if it were stuccoed, but just wonder if there is a better answer. Thanks for your patience and persistence.

Sorry to put it this Bea but cinderblock/concrete block should never be used for a retaining wall. They always do exactly what you have none. Any work to this wall will be pretty much a band aid. The crack means there has ben movement, back when the wall was built it was the strongest it ever would be and yet it cracked. Now the crack will always be a weak point. You could do a parge job on it but that's going to crack too.
