Masonry work for Midland homes and yards
An older county plan describes Midland as neighborhood streets mixed with big lots, pastures, wetlands and woods, so a job here can be a chimney on a tight lot or a long wall across acreage. We're a masonry contractor based in Tacoma, WA, and we work across nearby Parkland and Waller too. The price depends on size, materials, access and what we find once a wall is open, and the timing depends on whether you need a permit.
Midland isn't its own city, so permits go through Pierce County's Development Center, not a city hall. We check with the county for your address and, if your job needs a permit, handle the paperwork for our part. The state requires construction contractors to register with Labor and Industries, and we're fully licensed and insured.
What we build and fix in Midland
Get a quoteFoundation repair
When a block or brick foundation shows stair-step cracks, crumbling mortar or a wall leaning in, we rebuild the damaged section and repoint what can be saved.
Chimney repair
Loose bricks up top, a cracked concrete cap or mortar washing out of the joints all let water into a chimney, and we fix what's letting it in.
Tuckpointing
When mortar crumbles under a key, we grind out the worn joints and pack in fresh mortar, matched to the old color so the wall doesn't look patched.
Brick repair
Bricks that are cracked, loose or flaking on the face get cut out and replaced one at a time, with a match hunted down in size and color.
Driveway pavers
We build paver driveways on a dug-out, packed gravel base, because that base decides whether they stay flat, and we reset sunken sections too.
Retaining wall construction
Where a yard slopes toward the house or drive, we build block or stone walls with drainage behind them, so water doesn't push them over.
Masonry restoration
For an older brick house or wall that's worn all over, we combine cleaning, repointing and brick replacement so it looks like it belongs again.
Fireplace installation
We lay masonry fireplaces and surrounds, the firebox, hearth and face in brick or stone, for a new addition or an old room getting a remodel.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer is a thin layer of stone set over a wall, chimney or foundation, and the flashing and moisture barrier behind it matter most.
Concrete block walls
Block walls work for garden walls, privacy walls and the base of a raised patio, built on a footing with rebar and grout where the wall needs it.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition, a garage or a foundation that's past repair, we lay new block foundation walls on a footing sized for what sits on top.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Got room out back? We build the block or stone base, counter supports and grill surround for an outdoor kitchen, sized around the appliances you've picked.
Walkway construction
We lay walkways from the drive to the door or across a wide yard in brick, pavers or stone, on a packed base that keeps them level.
Brick wall installation
New brick garden walls, entry columns and planters, laid on a real footing and finished with a cap that sheds water off the top.
Stone masonry
Natural stone goes into walls, steps, columns and fireplaces, and each piece is fitted by hand, so it's slower work than block and usually costs more.
Brick pointing
When just a few joints have cracked or dropped out, around a step or under a window, we repoint that patch instead of the whole wall.

Why Midland folks give us a call
I come out myself
Every estimate is me walking your property, asking questions and poking at the mortar, and I work right alongside our small crew once we start.
Repairs that look original
Careful work on older brick, chimneys and walls is what we're known for, so we match mortar color and brick before we start and the repair looks like it belongs.
Straight talk on what can wait
If a crack is only cosmetic or a wall has years left in it, I'll tell you, because I'd rather you call back later than pay for work you don't need.
