Masonry block with leveling pads

A masonry block comprising:

• a top surface and an opposing bottom surface;
• a front surface and an opposing rear surface;
• a first side surface and an opposing second side surface, an x-direction defined as extending parallel to the rear and bottom surfaces between the first and second side surfaces, and a y-direction defined as extending perpendicular to the x-direction between the front and rear surfaces;
• and
• a set of three leveling pads disposed on the bottom surface including:
• first and second leveling pads disposed on a first half of the block between a centerline extending in the y-direction and the second face, the first and second leveling pads having a first width in the x-direction;
• and
• a third leveling pad disposed on a second half of the block between the centerline and the first surface, the third leveling pad having a second width in the x-direction, the first and second widths at least equal to an overlap distance, first edges of the first and second leveling pads being at a first distance in the x-direction from the second side surface, and a first edge of the third leveling pad being at a second distance in the x-direction from the centerline toward the first side surface, the first distance being greater than or equal to a sum of the second distance and the overlap distance minus the first width, and the first distance being less than or equal to a sum of the second distance and the second width minus the overlap distance.
