What it is
Understanding masonry
Masonry is the part of a property people touch and walk on every day, and it fails visibly when the groundwork is wrong. Paver driveways settle when the base is thin; retaining walls lean when drainage behind them isn't handled; stone veneer stains or spalls when the wrong material or setting method is used in a coastal environment. The craft is as much in preparation as in the finished pattern.
On a design-build project, masonry ties the house to the site: entry steps and columns, walls and piers, pool decks, driveway and motor court, and the stone or stucco detailing that carries the architecture through to the landscape.
Signs you need this
- Pavers are settling, rutting or holding water after rain
- A retaining or garden wall is leaning, cracking or losing mortar
- Driveway or motor court needs replacing rather than patching
- You want stone or brick veneer, columns, or a defined entry sequence
- Grade changes on the property need to be resolved structurally
Details that matter
What's involved locally
Scope of work
Hardscape: paver and stone driveways, walkways, pool decks and patios, with the excavation, base and edge restraint that keep them stable.
Structural masonry: block walls, retaining walls with proper drainage and reinforcement, piers, columns and steps.
Decorative: stone and brick veneer, coping, caps, and stucco detailing coordinated with the rest of the exterior.
Working with Florida soils and water
Sandy soils and a high water table make base preparation and drainage the deciding factor in how hardscape ages, more than the surface material itself.
Retaining structures over certain heights, and work that changes site drainage, are typically engineered and permitted.
