Seismic Considerations for California
California's seismic activity demands specific construction techniques for masonry installations. Our approach includes appropriate reinforcement, flexible connections, and engineering that accommodates ground movement.
We follow California Building Code requirements for masonry construction, ensuring installations meet seismic safety standards while providing reliable performance.

Block walls and paver installations offer numerous finishing options to match your property's aesthetic. We help you select colors, textures, and patterns that complement existing architecture and landscaping.

Maintenance & Longevity
Properly installed block walls and paver systems require minimal maintenance while delivering decades of service. We provide care instructions specific to your installation, covering cleaning, sealing, and periodic inspection.
Most installations need only occasional cleaning and joint sand replenishment for pavers, while block walls benefit from periodic sealing to maintain appearance and weather resistance.
