Masonry and concrete work in La Mesa

Every job starts with me on site and a written estimate for your house. Size, access and how much old work comes out move the price, and permits and the order of the work move the schedule.

  • Curved gray block retaining wall borders a raised mulched garden and a paved backyard path.

    Foundation repair

    Fixing cracked, settling or crumbling masonry foundations, best caught early when cracks widen or doors start sticking.

  • Curved stone retaining walls and steps frame a swimming pool and paved patio behind a house.

    Chimney repair

    When bricks loosen or the cap on top cracks, we repair and repoint the chimney before water gets into it.

  • Close view of a multicolored stone veneer wall above a strip of decorative gravel.

    Tuckpointing

    Cleaning out old mortar and refilling the joints with a crisp finished line, for brick that's sound but looks worn.

  • A curved flagstone walkway winds through a wooded garden between brick and stone houses, with planted beds and path lights.

    Brick repair

    Cracked, chipped or loose bricks get cut out and replaced with brick chosen to match the rest.

  • Curved driveway paved with tan and cream bricks leading to a stucco house with a tiled roof.

    Driveway pavers

    Paver driveways on a packed base, so a damaged spot can be lifted and relaid instead of torn out.

  • A stone retaining wall borders a paved patio with a circular fire pit and chairs beside a house.

    Retaining wall construction

    Block and stone walls that hold back a slope, built with drainage behind them so water doesn't build up.

  • Stone masonry steps with gray caps lead to a white front door above a gray paver landing.

    Masonry restoration

    Cleaning, repointing and rebuilding older brick and stone so it's sound again and still looks like it belongs.

  • Brick outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired oven, grill, stone counters, and bar seating beneath a covered patio.

    Fireplace installation

    A new masonry fireplace built in brick or stone, planned around your room and the chimney it vents through.

  • A broad gray paver patio bordered by low stone retaining walls with built-in lights and a raised central platform.

    Stone veneer installation

    Thin stone set over an existing wall or column, for the look of stone without a solid stone build.

  • A circular stone seating area surrounds a masonry fire pit, enclosed by a curved stone wall and furnished with wicker chairs.

    Concrete block walls

    Concrete block walls for privacy and property lines, set on a poured footing so they stand straight.

  • A landscaped rock stream with two small waterfalls runs beneath a flat stone footbridge, alongside brick retaining walls and plants.

    Foundation block wall installation

    The block wall a house, addition or garage sits on, laid course by course on its footing to the plans.

  • A stone outdoor kitchen beneath a timber pergola has a built-in grill, side burner, and green ceramic cooker.

    Outdoor kitchen masonry

    Block, brick or stone bases for a grill, counter and bar, built to carry the weight and take the weather.

  • Stone courtyard walls enclose a paved patio with steps, garden beds, and red umbrella seating.

    Walkway construction

    Paver, brick, stone or concrete paths to your door or across the yard, laid on a firm base.

  • A broad brick-paver patio and curved walkway beside a covered outdoor seating area, with palms and rock landscaping.

    Brick wall installation

    New brick garden, screen or boundary walls, laid on a footing with joints finished to suit the house.

  • Stone-paved pool patio beneath a timber pergola, with a stone-clad house and chimney in the background.

    Stone masonry

    Natural stone laid by hand into walls, steps, columns and planters, for a heavier, older look than brick or block.

  • A curved stone walkway borders a lush lawn and flower beds, leading toward a patio with outdoor chairs beside a house.

    Brick pointing

    Mortar that's cracked, sandy or missing gets ground out and repacked, so water stops getting into the wall.

Homeowners call for straight answers. And work done once.

I learned masonry on big commercial jobs and started this business to bring that same order to homes. We do the work once, in the right order, so it holds up and looks right next to what's already there.

A gray block retaining wall with broad steps divides a grassy yard from a raised garden beside a wooden fence.

  1. The person you hire answers for the work

    I look at your job, write the estimate and check the work myself, so you know exactly who to talk to.

  2. A straight answer on what you need

    You get a quick, plain answer on what your wall, chimney or path really needs, even when that's a smaller job than you expected.

  3. Permit questions sorted out early

    We find out whether the city or the county covers your address and what it wants, so a permit question doesn't stall your job halfway.

  4. An organized site, start to finish

    Materials stay stacked, dust stays in check and paths stay clear while we work, so your yard stays usable through the job.

Masonry covers walls, chimneys, paths, patios and fireplaces, so look through these examples to picture what could suit your house.
