What goes into building a brick wall in Jurupa Valley?
Brick wall installation in Jurupa Valley means our crew builds you a new garden wall, or a wall along a fence line, from brick laid on a solid footing, and because brick's color is fired right into it, the wall keeps its look for decades.
Most calls start with someone finally ready to finish a yard. I ask what the wall is for first, because that picks the style. A pier and panel wall, thin brick panels braced by brick posts called piers, is easy to build and steps along a sloped lot. I'll also tell you straight that a lot of salvaged brick wasn't made for outdoor walls.
The price moves with the wall's length and height, the style, the brick you choose, the footing and how easy your yard is to get into. The schedule turns on permits and inspections when the wall needs them, and on the heat while new work cures. In California, building walls for yards and fences falls under the state license board's masonry contractor class. Your written estimate spells out your own wall.

When is it time to put up a brick wall?
Most folks start thinking about a brick wall when a fence gives out, the yard's finally getting finished, or they want privacy that lasts.
A worn-out fence line
Wood that leans, splits or needs stain every few years is often the first reason folks ask us about brick.
A yard you're finishing
Once the patio or grill island is in, a low brick wall marks the edge and pulls the whole yard together.
Ground that slopes
When the yard drops along the property line, you need a wall style that can step with it, so ask early.
Wanting more privacy
A side or back yard that's open to the neighbors or the street is one of the most common reasons to build.
An older brick house
If your house is brick, a garden wall in a brick that suits it ties the yard back to the home.
A pile of old brick
Brick saved from a teardown is tempting to reuse, so have it looked at before you plan the wall around it.

What I check before building your brick wall
Before I suggest a style or a brick, I walk the line where the wall would go and look at the ground, the slope and what you have in mind.
The ground under it
The brick industry's garden wall guide puts footings in undisturbed earth, so I look for fill, old trenches and loose soil along the line.
The slope and the run
How far the wall runs and how much the ground drops along it tell me whether pier and panel or a solid wall fits better.
Your brick and your house
I look at the brick you have in mind, new or salvaged, and how its color will sit next to your house.

Brick wall installation in Jurupa Valley and nearby cities
The City of Jurupa Valley requires a building permit for all block walls over three feet tall, measured from the top of the footing to the top of the wall, so if your brick wall runs that tall, plan on one. The city then inspects the footing trench with steel in place, the vertical rebar before grout and a final before the cap. We handle the paperwork and line up those inspections.
Where the wall sits matters too, since regrading the yard calls for a city grading permit and work in the public right-of-way, the city's strip along the street, needs an encroachment permit. The city's permits page lists them if you'd like to check. We're based in Jurupa Valley and work on both sides of the county line, in cities like Eastvale and Fontana, where plenty of yards have a plain back wall and a front yard waiting on something nicer.

How much does a brick wall cost in Jurupa Valley?
It comes down to how long and how tall the wall is, the style and the brick, so I give you a written figure after I've seen the yard. A pier and panel wall uses thinner panels, which keeps it economical, while a solid wall, a deeper footing or a yard that's hard to get brick into adds to it. The estimate is free and done at your home.
How do I get a permit for a brick wall in Jurupa Valley?
You don't have to chase it yourself, because when a wall stands over three feet from the top of its footing, we take care of the city permit and inspections described above. If you'd like to check on your project, I'm glad to point you to the city's building office.
How tall can a brick wall be in my front yard in Jurupa Valley?
City planning guidance keeps solid fencing like a masonry wall to 42 inches in the street setback area, the front stretch nearest the street, with up to two feet of open fencing allowed on top. Along side and rear property lines in residential zones, the guidance allows fences up to six feet, so a tall privacy wall usually goes there.
Does a brick garden wall need to be painted or sealed?
No, clay brick needs no paint or surface treatment to hold up, though some people paint it for looks. Most paint authorities agree painted outside masonry needs repainting every three to five years, so leaving it bare skips that cost. What wears over the decades is the mortar joints, and brick pointing renews those.
Is it OK to use salvaged or reclaimed brick for a garden wall?
Only if it meets the SW grade, the severe weathering rating, in the brick industry's garden wall guide, and most used brick falls short because it was often fired unevenly. I'll tell you what I think of yours once I see it. If you're after an older, rugged look, stone masonry is another way to get there.
How long does a new brick wall take to cure in hot weather?
In real heat it gets at least three days of extra care, because the brick industry's spec summary calls for fog spraying new brickwork until damp at least three times a day for three days. That applies when the mean daily temperature tops 100°F, or 90°F with wind over 8 mph, so a summer heat wave can stretch the finish a little.
