Masonry is the craft in our name. We build full-depth brick and stone columns, veneer, seat walls, entry and mailbox columns, and fireplace surrounds — matched to your existing home and engineered where it counts. Licensed and insured, 15+ years, and we handle every HOA and city permit.
Good brick and stone work should look like it was always there — the mortar joints tight and consistent, the color matched to your home, the lines dead straight. We started as masons before we built whole backyards, so the columns on your patio, the veneer on your fireplace, and the seat wall around your firepit are all laid by people who do this for a living. Every wall and column is built full-depth on a proper footing, not glued on as a thin veneer over foam — so it holds up to Texas heat, storms, and time. One licensed crew designs it, pulls the permits, and lays every course.
Full-height columns that wrap patio posts, frame entries, or stand on their own — laid in real brick or stacked stone over a poured footing. They carry load and read as solid, not decorative, and we match the brick to your home so they look original.
Refacing a plain wall, chimney, or foundation skirt in natural or manufactured stone. We install it on a properly prepped, scratch-coated surface — mechanically anchored where needed — so it bonds for good instead of popping off a season later.
Low walls that define a patio, ring a firepit, or terrace a bed — built to sit on with a finished cap in stone, brick, or poured concrete. Solid, footed, and drained so they stay level and don't lean after the first wet season.
The first thing people see at your address. We build brick or stone mailbox pillars and driveway entry columns to HOA spec — square, plumb, and capped — often the detail that makes a whole street of homes look a step above.
Masonry surrounds for outdoor fireplaces, firepits, and built-in grills — brick or stone faces with a stone hearth or cap. Built with the right fire-rated materials and clearances so the good looks don't come at the cost of safety.
Cracked or crumbling mortar, a leaning column, a wall that needs matching brick after a repair — we cut out failed joints, re-point them, and source brick or stone that blends with what you already have so the fix disappears.
Anyone can stick thin stone to a wall. Real masonry is footed, bonded, and matched — and that's the difference between work that looks right for decades and work that fails in a few years.
We source and blend brick and stone to your home's color and joint, so new columns and walls look like they were always part of the build.
Columns and walls are laid course by course on a poured footing, not foam-backed veneer glued to a frame. It carries weight and it stays put.
When a column carries a roof or a wall holds back grade, we build to engineer-backed plans and pull the permits — so it's safe and signed off.
Almost always, yes. We look at your home's brick color, size, and the width and color of the mortar joints, then source brick or stone that blends in. On older homes we can pull from brick yards that carry matching or close-to-original runs, and we tune the mortar color on site. When an exact match isn't made anymore, we'll show you the closest options before we start so there are no surprises.
Full brick and stone is laid course by course as a real, load-bearing wall or column on a poured footing. Veneer is a thinner face applied over a prepared, structurally sound wall to change how it looks. Both have their place — a column that carries a roof needs to be full masonry, while refacing a chimney or foundation skirt is a job for veneer. The key is that even veneer should be installed on a proper scratch coat and anchored, not glued to foam. We'll recommend the right one for each part of your project.
Any masonry column should sit on a poured concrete footing sized for the soil and the load — that's what keeps it from settling or leaning. When a column carries a roof, a beam, or any structure, we build to engineer-backed plans and pull the permits so it's approved and safe. Purely decorative pillars, like a mailbox or a short entry column, still get a real footing but usually don't need engineering. We'll tell you which category yours falls into up front.
It depends on the scope. A mailbox or single entry column is often a couple of days including the footing cure. A set of patio columns or a seat wall usually runs several days, and a full fireplace surround or a run of veneer takes a little longer. Masonry also needs time for footings to cure and mortar to set, so we don't rush those steps. You'll get a clear timeline with your quote, and one crew stays on it start to finish.
Yes — every one of them. We pull all city permits and handle the HOA paperwork for you, and we provide engineer-backed plans wherever they're required for structural columns or walls. You don't chase a single form. We're licensed and insured, and the work is built to code and properly inspected.
Both. Plenty of our masonry work is repair — cutting out and re-pointing failed mortar joints, rebuilding a cracked or leaning column, patching a wall with matching brick, or fixing veneer that was installed poorly by someone else. Because we match the existing brick and mortar, a good repair should be hard to spot. Send us a few photos and we can usually give you a sense of what's involved before we come out.
Most of our brick and stone work is part of a bigger build. It frames a covered patio, wraps a firepit or outdoor fireplace, and holds grade with a retaining wall — all by one licensed crew, so the details line up.
