The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Custom brickwork is where a mason's craft shows. The brick you pick, the bond pattern, the color and tooling of the mortar joint and the quality of the layout decide whether a wall looks ordinary or looks like it has always belonged on the house.

We build custom brick walls, planters, entry features, garden structures and feature walls for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. The work starts with a sketch and a sample panel, then moves to a string-line layout, careful coursing and a clean finish.

Why owners choose it

Four things done right.

A sample panel first

A small test panel shows the brick, bond and mortar together before the wall goes up.

Straight and plumb

String lines, levels and a story pole keep every course true from the footing to the cap.

Joints that shed water

Tooling presses the mortar tight so rain runs off instead of in.

A clean finish

Brick faces are cleaned, the site is swept and the leftover material is hauled away.

Good questions

Custom Brick Masonry: common questions

How long does a custom brick project take?

A garden wall or mailbox can be done in a few days. A feature wall or an addition can take a few weeks, and the schedule comes with the written estimate.

Can you match the brick on my house?

Often we can get close. We bring samples to the wall, compare them in daylight and explain what a good match looks like for your brick.
