Property line privacy fence

What a new brick wall involves for you
Brick wall installation in Chino, CA means our crew lays baked clay brick, usually set in mortar, into a fence, garden wall or yard divider that holds its color and stands up to rain for years.
Most calls about a new wall come from people who want privacy along a property line, an edge around a patio, or something better looking than an old fence. The price moves with the wall's length and height, how thick it has to be, whether it needs piers, the brick and mortar color you pick, and how hard it is to reach the spot and dig a footing. The schedule turns on the weather, how much old fence has to come out first and any permit the job needs, so the estimate I write after seeing your yard is where you get the figure and the plan for your own wall.
I write the estimate myself
I come out to look at the spot, measure and write the estimate, so your price comes from someone who has stood at your wall line and asked the questions.
Repairs taught us what fails
We're best known for fixing cracked walls and worn joints, so we build new walls knowing where old ones usually give out, at the base, the joints and the cap.
Our own crew since 2017
I started this business in Chino in 2017 after working on other masons' crews. Our own crew does the work, and I check on it as it goes, so it matches what I wrote up.
How our crew builds your brick wall
I start by walking the wall's line with you and talking through bare brick versus paint, since that choice sets how much upkeep the wall will need for years. Then our crew marks the layout, digs out and pours a solid footing so the wall has something level to sit on, and lays the brick course by course, checking plumb and level as it rises. We tool the mortar joints so they shed water, set a cap that keeps rain off the top, and clean the brick face and your yard before we call it done.
Some yards suit a mix, like brick panels between stone piers or a stone cap on a brick wall, and our stone masonry work covers that side of the plan. Years down the road, when the mortar between bricks starts to wear, brick pointing replaces the worn joints so a sound wall keeps its life instead of coming down.
Where a brick wall works in your yard
Front yard garden walls
A low brick wall along the front walk or lawn frames the house and keeps foot traffic out of the beds, and the brick color can match or set off your house.
Patio borders and seat walls
Around a patio, a brick wall at seat height gives you extra seating and a clean edge, and it holds up to the sun and sprinklers in a Chino backyard.
Gate and entry pillars
Brick pillars at a driveway or gate give the entry a finished look and a solid place to hang a gate or mount lights and a house number.

Questions about building a brick wall in Chino
Here are the questions Chino homeowners usually ask before a new brick wall goes up, from licensing and paint to permits and mortar.
Who can legally build a brick wall in California?
A licensed landscaping or C-29 masonry contractor, since the state licensing board says an outdoor masonry wall built for looks needs one of those two. The C-29 class covers masonry walls of baked clay brick for structures and fences. We're licensed and insured, and it's fair to ask anyone bidding your wall to show you their license.
Does a new brick wall need to be painted?
No, clay brick needs no paint or surface treatment because its color runs all the way through. Once exterior brick is painted, it needs repainting every three to five years. Some owners still paint a wall for decoration or to reflect more light, and that's fine as long as you plan on that repaint cycle.
Who handles permit requests for a brick wall in Chino?
In Chino, the Development Services Department processes building and planning permit requests, so that's the office to ask about your own wall. When a job needs a permit, we apply for it and plan the work around the city's inspections, and if it isn't clear whether yours does, we check with the city's building office before we start.
Where can I see the zoning standards for my lot in Chino?
Each zoning district in Chino sets its own development standards, and you can view them by district online or at the Planning Division. The city's zoning rules limit the height and size of what gets built or changed, and its building standards include a pilaster standard for wall columns, so we look at those with you when planning your wall.
How do you keep a freestanding brick wall from leaning?
A brick wall stays upright when it's thick enough or braced, since UK brick guidance says thin walls have a slenderness limit, the point where they get unstable against sideways forces. A thicker base, piers or a zigzag layout solves that, and each changes the look. The guidance also calls for vertical movement joints, because freestanding walls move more than house walls.
Can I get colored mortar on a brick wall?
Yes, mortar can be colored with colored sand and stone or with pigments, and colored aggregates are preferred when they give the color you want. White sand, ground granite, marble or stone usually hold their color and keep the mortar strong. Bring a brick sample or a photo of a wall you like, and we'll look at mortar colors against it.
