One brick thick, with piers
This suits a garden wall, a planter edge or a screen along the patio, where you want brick without paying for a double wall. We stiffen it with piers or a wider base where its height calls for it, so it stays plumb.
Brick wall installation in Beaumont TX - a wall that stands straight and sheds rain
Tired of a fence that rots or leans? We build brick walls planned for your spot, with joints tooled to shed rain.
What goes into building a brick wall in Beaumont?
Brick wall installation in Beaumont, TX, means laying brick in mortar to build a garden wall, a privacy wall or another freestanding wall that stands on its own, and at Ironstone Beaumont Concrete and Masonry we size each one so it stays standing and sheds rain.
Most people call us because a wood fence keeps rotting, they want privacy along a property line, or they'd like a low garden wall that looks like it belongs with a brick house. The price moves with how long and tall the wall is, whether it's one brick thick or two, how many piers it needs and which brick you pick. The schedule mostly turns on the weather and on any permit step the city wants first. If the wall has to hold back soil, that's retaining wall construction, which is a different build. Your written estimate gives you your own figure.

Brick wall installation in Beaumont and the permit question
Whether your wall needs a permit is the city's call, not ours. The City of Beaumont issues permits for many kinds of construction projects through its Building Codes portal or by phone at 409-880-3762, so we check with the city at the estimate, tell you what it says and help get any permit in place before we start. Around Beaumont we build a lot of walls beside older brick homes, where the new brick has to sit well with the house, and the heavy rain here is why those tooled joints matter. We do the same work in Nederland, Port Neches and the other cities around Beaumont, checking with whichever office covers your address.
Brick wall questions we hear in Beaumont
How much does a brick wall cost in Beaumont, TX?
Brick and masonry work in Beaumont usually costs about $10 to $25 per square foot, and that range covers masonry work in general, not just walls. Where your wall lands depends mostly on its height and length, whether it's one brick thick or two, how many piers it needs and the brick you choose. I'll give you your own figure in the written estimate after I see the spot.
Will a single-wythe brick wall keep water out?
It can, but national brick industry guidance says a wall one brick thick resists water less well than a two-layer wall or one built with drainage details, and it may not suit the most exposed spots. Careful detailing and good construction let a single-wythe wall perform well, so the choice comes down to how exposed your wall is and how carefully it's built. Penetrating water repellents can help, though the same guidance says they need reapplying now and then and don't replace good design.
How does a thin brick wall stay upright?
A thin brick wall stays upright with a thicker base, piers sticking out from its face, or a zigzag or staggered layout, because UK brick guidance limits how thin a wall can be and still stay stable against sideways forces. Those features get around that limit, so a thin wall in your plan may show piers or a wider base. It's why height and thickness are the first things we talk through.
What is the best way to choose mortar for a brick wall?
Pick the mortar with the lowest strength that still meets the wall's needs, because the brick industry's guidance says no single mortar is best for every job. A mix heavy on cement can be harder to clean off the brick and more prone to shrinkage cracks, so stronger isn't automatically better. The same guidance gives mortar a set time to be used after mixing, shorter in hot weather, which is worth asking about if your wall goes up in a Beaumont summer.
How do I schedule a permit inspection in Beaumont?
Whoever holds the permit books every inspection online through the city's City Works Portal, and the city doesn't schedule inspections over the phone. If you have a question along the way, the Community Development Department takes calls at 409-880-3100, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
