Brick wall installation in Palmdale CA - a garden wall with every joint packed full
Want a brick wall for privacy or a clean edge on the yard? We lay it square on a foundation, sized to fit your lot.
What goes into a new brick wallaround a Palmdale yard
A brick wall installation in Palmdale, CA usually starts with a homeowner who wants a real edge on the yard, something that works as a fence, a privacy wall or a screen. We lay brick in mortar on a foundation dug down into undisturbed earth, so the wall has something solid to stand on.
The price mostly follows how much wall you need and what you build it from. The schedule turns on whether the wall needs a permit or a survey and when the brick arrives. I walk the yard with you and give you a written estimate, so you see the whole job before anything starts.
If you already have a brick wall and it's only the mortar that's crumbling, you probably don't need a new one. Brick pointing cleans out the worn joints and refills them, and that may be all it takes. I'll tell you that straight.
You'll get a straight answer about what your yard needs and a wall built to stand, so give us a call at (661) 382-3390.
Kinds of brick walls we install
Every wall starts from where it stands and what it has to do, so we plan the height, the line and the cap around your lot. For a stone wall instead, see our stone masonry work.
Front yard walls
A low brick wall along the front marks the yard off from the street. We plan its solid part and any open section around what the city allows there.
Privacy and screen walls
Along a side or back line, a taller brick wall works as a fence and a screen, set out on the line you've confirmed.
Caps that shed water
The coping, the cap along the top, should stick out past the brick on both sides with a drip under it, so water falls off instead of running down the face.
Why homeowners call Capstone Palmdalefor brick, block and stone
You deal with me from the first look to the last walkthrough, and you get a straight answer about what your wall needs, even when the answer is less work.
The owner does your estimate
I come out for the estimate myself, so the person pricing your wall has stood in your yard and seen where it's going.
Every mortar joint packed full
A garden wall takes weather on both faces, so a hollow joint is where decay starts and the whole wall can fail. We pack each one full.
Fully licensed and insured
We're fully licensed and insured, and I'm glad to answer any question about either while we're standing in your yard.
Fixing walls before building them
I learned this trade patching block and repointing brick for a property management company, and we've been in business since 2013. That's how I know where walls go wrong.

I walk the yard with you
I look at where the wall will run, check whether your address is under the city or the county, and give you a written estimate.
Permit, layout and digging
If the wall needs a permit, we get it in hand before work starts. Then we set out the line and dig out for the foundation.
Our masons lay the brick
Our masons lay the wall row by row and finish it with the cap, and I'm on site checking the work along the way.
We look it over together
When the wall is done, we walk it together so you can look at the joints and the cap and ask anything, and we clean up the work area.
Brick wall questions we hear
Do I need a permit to build a brick wall in Palmdale?
In Palmdale, the city asks for a building permit for a fence or wall taller than 6 feet, or a retaining wall taller than 3 feet, and every application goes through the city's online permit portal. When your wall needs one, we handle the application and set up the inspections. If you'd like to look into it yourself, start with the city's Building and Safety office.
How tall can a front yard brick wall be in Palmdale?
On a Palmdale lot under 20,000 square feet, a front yard wall can be up to 5 feet tall, with the bottom 3 feet solid and the top 2 feet open so you can see through. The front yard here means the setback, the part of the lot from the front of the house toward the street, and the city measures height from the average ground level right next to the wall up to its top edge, so a slope changes how tall your wall counts. For side and back walls, check the limits with the City of Palmdale.
Can I use reclaimed brick for a garden wall?
Only if the salvaged brick meets the SW grade, the rating for brick made to stand up to hard weather, and most used brick won't because it's often unevenly fired. If you want that old look, plan on new brick, since plenty of new brick comes with a worn face.
How do I find my exact property line before building a brick wall?
Hire a licensed surveyor, because only a surveyor can determine exactly where your property lines are. If your wall runs along the line, I'll suggest getting a survey before we set it out, so the wall ends up where you meant it to.
How much does a brick wall cost in Palmdale?
Your price comes from the wall itself, mostly its length and height, the brick you pick, the cap, and any open section or gate opening. Taking out an old fence, a hard-to-reach spot, a survey or a permit for a tall wall all add to the job. I'll give you a written figure once I've seen the yard.
How do I keep mortar strong when brick is laid on a hot day?
Keep enough water in the mortar, because hot brick soaks water out of it and mortar that dries out too fast bonds weaker to the brick. If your wall goes up on a hot day, it's a fair question to ask any crew, ours included.
