ABSTRACT:
A building block includes a substantially rectangular block body, and may be used to make walls or edging for a landscaped area A first end of the block has spaced-apart fingers extending outwardly thereon. The outside corners of the finger tips are rounded off. The uppermost finger on the first end has an upper surface flush with the block top surface. Holes are formed coaxially through the fingers of the first end, with an axis substantially perpendicular to the block's longitudinal axis. Pins may be placed in the through holes to interconnect nested blocks. The second end is identical to the first end, rotated clockwise 180 degrees. Accordingly, the lowermost finger of the second end has a lower surface flush with the bottom surface of the block body. Multiple blocks may be combined with supplemental, reduced height blocks, and assembled in a staggered configuration to build a reinforced wall.
