Founded in 1946 by four World War II veterans, National Block and Ready Mix began as a small concrete block operation driven by a passion for quality and community. Inspired by a Czech farmer's cottage industry, the initiative quickly outgrew its original location. By 1949, National Block established itself on a nine-acre site in Westland, Michigan, marking its expansion into the concrete block market and later, ready-mix concrete by 1952.
Over the years, the company has been dedicated to serving the Detroit Metro Area, cultivating strong community ties across Wayne, Washtenaw, Oakland, Livingston, and Monroe counties. With a focus on continuous growth, National Block has evolved into a trusted name in the construction industry, celebrated for its innovative products and customer service.
National Block operates multiple sites, including state-of-the-art batch plants that ensure efficiency and reliability in their concrete supply. They also offer a fleet of ready-mix trucks and flatbed deliveries, emphasizing adaptability to meet customer needs. Moreover, the company provides a range of services, including material color customization, blueprint reviews, and on-site assistance from experienced block masons and certified concrete technicians.
The acquisition of Patriot Ready-Mix has further expanded National Block's service area, enhancing its ability to meet demand in Livingston County and beyond. With 75 years of experience behind them, National Block stands strong through three generations, committed to quality construction products and fostering lasting partnerships in the community. National Block invites inquiries from customers to ensure that their concrete and masonry needs are met with expertise and dedication.
