Stone Masonry in Mountain Brook, AL

We handle retaining walls, entry columns, outdoor steps, stone veneer, garden borders, and fireplace surrounds across Birmingham and the surrounding areas. If you have a stone feature that needs to be built or repaired, contact us to discuss the scope.

Red clay soil in Hoover and Vestavia swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that constant movement stresses stone structures with inadequate footings. Building with footings and mortar mixes suited to local soil conditions is the most reliable way to prevent early cracking.

Yes, we repair existing stone retaining walls in Homewood, including walls that are leaning, cracking, or losing mortar. We assess the footing and drainage situation before recommending the right repair approach.

Stone masonry is well suited to sloped lots in Mountain Brook because retaining walls and stepped features can follow the natural grade of the land. Proper footing depth and drainage planning are key on any hillside site.

Stone veneer is a thinner layer of stone applied over an existing wall surface, while full stone masonry uses stone as the structural or load-bearing material. Both are options we work with depending on your home's structure and the look you want.
