Trusted Concrete Masonry & Precast Products in Spokane
White Block Company was founded on February 20, 1947 by twin brothers Edward and Harold White. Originally planning to open a heavy-duty truck repair shop, the brothers pivoted to concrete masonry production due to regional material shortages. Over 78 years, the company expanded from a single hand-operated block machine producing 600 units daily to a 10-acre facility capable of manufacturing over 28,000 concrete masonry units per day. Our Besser V12 machine produces 200+ block types including standard units, architectural finishes, retaining wall systems, and specialty products.We maintain third-generation family ownership while expanding into precast solutions like parking bumpers, septic tanks, and egress window wells. Our comprehensive offerings include masonry accessories, tools, and sealers, serving the Inland Northwest region with technical expertise and product innovation.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Bruce and one other gentleman were extremely helpful! I needed septic tank risers and they had either Poly or cement in stock! I had already been to H.D. Fowler (do not recommend) and Ferguson (they were out of stock). The guy at Ferguson was very helpful and recommended White Block, or Waterworks. Went to White Block since they were closest and right around the corner. Bruce and the other gentleman were absolute pros! They had what I needed and gave some quality advice! Thanks guys!

Limited options compared to places I have seen in other cities. Might be the norm here. Counter guy was very patient.

I went in to discuss a retaining wall project. The guys at White Block were very helpful and knowledgeable. I am SO glad I went there rather than just freestylin' my own project with materials from Lowe's. (Not throwing shade on Lowe's, btw. They're great.)

Great place to buy landscaping blocks. They sometimes come across that us small time buyers are a nuisance. But I will always go back. Great selection on products. And the prices are good.
