How to Pour Concrete Into Block Cores

By Home & Garden Last updated Friday, July/12/2024

1). Mix up a batch of concrete. Using a wheelbarrow or mixer, mix concrete following the manufacturer's directions, keeping the mix on the slushy side.
2). Pour concrete into a bucket. Using another bucket to act as a dipper, fill a 5-gallon bucket only halfway with concrete or it'll be too heavy.
3). Pour concrete from the bucket into the cinder block voids. Fill the internal space of the block wall with concrete, pouring from the bucket. Keep filling voids with concrete until level with the top of each block, using the cement trowel to level the concrete.
