Specialty Masonry
Brick, stone and block work — fireplaces, planters, pillars and accent walls.
Old-school craftsmanship meets modern design. Our masons hand-build brick, block, and stone features that anchor your outdoor space.
Masonry is one of the oldest building crafts in the world, and there's no shortcut for real skill with a trowel. Hand-laid brick, block, and stone add permanence, texture, and a sense of quality that manufactured products simply can't fake. From a statement fireplace to a set of entry columns, quality masonry is the detail that makes a property feel finished and built to last.
Culman Construction's masons build and restore brick, block, and natural stone features throughout Middle Tennessee. We pour proper footings to code, lay every course by hand, and finish with clean tuckpointing and appropriate sealing. That foundation-up approach is why our masonry stays straight, sheds water correctly, and doesn't crack or lean as the seasons change.
We build outdoor fireplaces and chimneys, pillars and entry monuments, planters, benches, and accent walls — and we repair and restore existing masonry that's cracked, spalling, or losing its mortar. Whether it's a brand-new feature or a careful restoration, every masonry project is backed by our one-year workmanship warranty.

Specialty Masonry FAQs
Do you repair existing brick and stone?+
Yes. We tuckpoint failing mortar joints, replace damaged brick and stone, rebuild leaning columns, and restore fireplaces and chimneys — matching the existing materials as closely as possible.
What's the difference between brick, block, and stone?+
Brick offers a classic, uniform look; concrete block is cost-effective and structural (often clad in stone or stucco); natural stone is the most premium and unique. We'll help you choose based on your look and budget.
Can you build an outdoor fireplace?+
Absolutely. Outdoor masonry fireplaces and chimneys are one of our specialties. We build them on proper footings with the correct firebox and flue construction for safe, lasting performance.
How long does masonry work last?+
Properly built masonry lasts generations. The keys are a solid footing, quality materials, correct mortar, and appropriate sealing — all of which are standard in our work.
