What is the maximum height a freestanding brick wall can reach?

A freestanding brick wall that's one brick thick can typically reach six to eight feet high. If you need a taller wall, you'll need to include a second layer of bricks and a reinforced footing to ensure stability and comply with building codes. Your bricklayer will be able to make recommendations based on your project’s specifics.

Do brick walls add value to a home?

Yes, brick walls can have a positive impact on your home’s value by enhancing its visual appeal and security. Brick walls are an attractive feature for many homebuyers. They offer an elegant upgrade to your property's exterior and increase privacy for your yard, which can boost your home's marketability and resale value.

Are brick walls more expensive than concrete walls?

Yes, brick walls are generally more expensive than concrete walls due to higher material and labor costs. Installing a brick wall costs between $10 and $45 per square foot, with labor charges of $70 to $110 per hour. In contrast, concrete block walls cost $10 to $20 per square foot. The increased craftsmanship and time required for brickwork contribute to the higher price.

"We had erosion under our outbuilding. We thought we could take care of it ourselves. After more than a year of continued erosion, we gave up and called Traditional Masonry! They were out to our house the next day! The concrete footer went right in the first day. The second day required some relocation of some dirt piles we had near the work site. On the third day, we had a beautiful new retaining wall! Things I liked: 1) The speed with which the work was done. 2) The skill with which the work was done. 3) The cleanliness of the workers. The place is cleaner now than before they came. They left no trash for us to clean up. 4) They did not smoke while on our work site. 5) They didn't play loud music while working. 6) They did everything they said they would do exactly when they said they would do it. It's hard to find a contractor who can meet all these criteria....But Traditional Masonry does! I highly recommend them and will use them again for some more masonry projects we have in store."

"The step does look a lot better than it did, but the crack is still evident. There was some confusion on the day that they were to come. Robert told me at 8 AM - no one was here by 9:30 AM and when I called, they told me that they were rescheduling for the following day. Then at 11:30 AM, they arrived late on the same day. Robert came for the quote but 2 other men arrived to do the work. Only one man worked, the other sat in the truck on the phone the whole time. When it was done there was dust everywhere, my bushes were trampled from when they got the hose. The hose wasn't put back on the sprinkler and there was a clump of cement in the grass near the sidewalk. I did send Robert pictures with my complaints and got no response. They did fix a handrail by putting it back into the step for me, so that was nice. I was originally quoted $1,000 by Robert and on the day of it was $1,200. My step IS better but it was not the best overall experience. "
