Structural Masonry and Hardscapes

One of the hottest trends, and often overlooked aspects of masonry is hardscape. Bring the warmth, comfort, stability and low maintenance of masonry to your outdoor living space.

The Benefits of Hardscape

Take a look at a stone patio rather than a wood deck. It will stand the tests of time and require minimal maintenance in comparison. Add to it a beautiful outdoor BBQ or fireplace and you're ready for your summer entertaining.

Retaining walls can turn unusable hillside into attractive lawn and landscape arenas. Create dimension and brilliance with the sound building capability of masonry.

Structural Masonry

Did you know concrete block comes in a variety of colors and textures? From basic grey to khaki, brown, red or even plum; ground face block has a smooth texture and aggregate look to its surface; split face block provides multidimensional texture and depth. Add brick or stone accents and you have the best combination of structural integrity and aesthetic beauty.

Plus, structural masonry provides excellent energy efficiency, sound retention and superior resistance to fire, mold, rot and fading. Masonry building owners enjoy reduced insurance and maintenance costs. The life cycle costs of masonry can not be beat! With minimal maintenance such as biannual weather sealing and joint repair (most often a result of ground settling) masonry buildings will last a lifetime. What could be better?
