Brick and Block Work in Verona & Madison, WI
Brick and block masonry for walls, patio borders, and repairs, built on a footing that holds.
Dane County yards aren’t flat. A slope from the driveway to the front door, a drop from the patio to the lawn, a hillside garden you can’t get to safely, all of it needs steps that stay level and don’t shift when the ground freezes and thaws. We build them into the site properly the first time, not set on top of it.
Brick and block work covers a range of jobs, new walls, patio edging, repair of existing masonry that’s cracking or shifting. Whatever the project, it starts the same way: a proper footing below the frost line, because that’s what determines whether the work lasts.
What Goes Into Brick and Block Work That Lasts
Proper footings first. Brick and block fail from the foundation up, not from the material itself.
New construction or repair. Cracking mortar joints, shifting block, or a wall that needs rebuilding, we handle both.
Licensed and insured. Ask us for proof. Ask everyone you're considering.
Matched to what’s already there. New brick or block work should look intentional next to your existing structure, not bolted on.
Brick and block work often overlaps with other stonework. If you’re also thinking about [decorative stone] or a [garden wall], we can scope it together.

Why Brick and Block Work Cracks and Shifts in Wisconsin
Most brick and block failures aren’t about the brick. They’re about what it’s sitting on.
Without a footing set below the frost line, brick and block work will:
Crack at the mortar joints as the ground shifts each winter
Lean or bow outward over a few years
Settle unevenly if the ground wasn’t properly compacted first
Require full reconstruction instead of a simple repair, if the foundation problem isn’t caught early
How we build: That last one is the reason we look at what's under a wall before quoting anything on top of it. A footing below the frost line and properly compacted ground turn a decades-long structure into a straightforward build. Catch a foundation problem early and it's a repair; miss it and it's a rebuild.
New Work or a Repair, Here's How We Quote It
We look at the project, whether it’s new work or a repair, and give you a quote with a real number. For repairs, we’ll tell you honestly if it’s a patch job or if the underlying issue means a rebuild.
