FAQs about Ezi Stone

Q: Can I lay the blocks myself?

A: Yes, both the Ezi Stone garden blocks and retaining wall blocks are well within the home handyman’s capabilities. No special tools are required for standard structures built using full blocks. Some cutting will be required in special cases, which will involve a simple masonry cutting tool that homeowners can hire if necessary.

Q: How expensive are Ezi Stone products?

A: Ezi Stone is a quick and economical alternative to traditional stone walling. It can be laid for about one-third the overall cost of traditional stone, the company says. Small columns using Ezi Stone four-sider blocks can be built for around $150 each, and walls can be erected at a square-metre cost from $150.

Q: Is capping available for the walls and pillars?

A: Yes, several options are available for capping walls and pillars, including double-width caps for thick walls.

Q: What is Ezi Stone made from?

A: The product is made from a blend of aggregates, oxides, an integral colouring system and Portland cement. This carefully researched blend will age naturally, as it is essentially reconstituted stone, moulded to give a natural appearance.

Q: Will I see repeated patterns in the surfaces of my blocks?

A: Probably not, as Ezi Stone uses a large number of master moulds to cast its products. These moulds are based on a large range of natural stones, including schist, basalt, slate and sandstone.
