Does King's Material sell cinder block?
Today's concrete masonry units (CMUs) made using sand / gravel and are much denser and stronger than cinder blocks and are used for modern structural walls. You can find a wide range of sizes and shapes here.

Should I use mulch or landscape rock in my landscaping?
It depends on what you want out of your landscaping, Mulch and rock serve similar but different purposes. You should use mulch if temperature control and a lower up-front cost is important to you. If you're looking for a longer-term low maintenance solution, landscape rock is a good solution for a clean and modern look. We offer solutions in many colors and sizes and in bag and bulk.
