A block texturing apparatus (10) and method for forming a block with a textured surface. The block texturing apparatus (10) has a body (20) with a front surface (22), a rear surface (24), a top surface (26), a bottom surfac e (30), and opposing side surfaces (36, 38). The front surface (22) has a bloc k modifying section (40) that occupies at least twenty percent of the front surface (22) of the body (20). In operation, the block texturing apparatus (10) is used in conjunction with or in lieu of a wall of a mold (70). The mo ld (70) is than filled with a mixture of block material (90) that is compressed in the mold (70) to form a block (94). The block (94) is then stripped from the mold (70). As the block (94) is removed, the block modifying section (40 ) manipulates a surface of a block (94) and imparts an irregular texture (96) thereto.
