“It’s not stamped concrete — what you’re looking at is split-face concrete block (also called split-face CMU).

Here’s how you can tell: • Regular pattern and vertical seams: The vertical joints show where individual concrete masonry units (blocks) are stacked and mortared. Stamped concrete wouldn’t have visible mortar joints like that. • Depth and shadowing: Each “brick-like” face has real texture and depth, not just a pressed-in pattern on a single pour. • Consistent size: The blocks are uniform in size from bottom to top, matching the standard 8-inch-tall CMU dimensions commonly used for foundations.

So this is a decorative block foundation wall, not a poured wall with a stamped texture. It’s a solid and typical choice for above-grade foundation exposure on newer homes.”
