Block Masonry

What This Service Involves

Concrete masonry units offer economical, robust structure for retaining walls, foundations, and buildings. We lay block on engineered footings with reinforcement and grouting suited to our seismic zone. Proper waterproofing and drainage keep the wall dry and stable against saturated soils. The finished assembly can be left utilitarian or faced with veneer for a refined look.
