LOCAL HARDSCAPE MASONRY CONTRACTORS
What Is Masonry?
Most people have heard the term ‘masonry.’ However, it is frequently misunderstood. In its simplest definition, masonry is the art of stonework. A mason builds structures from individual units of stone, brick, concrete block, or another material, which is often laid in a specific pattern and bound together by mortar. Mortar is a cement paste that acts as the glue that holds the structure together once it hardens.
Masonry is a highly customizable and durable form of construction. However, the strength of the structure will depend on the quality of the materials and craftsmanship. The pattern in which the individual units are laid can also have a significant impact on the overall construction.
With this in mind, it’s important that masonry projects are completed by an experienced hand. Dating back to ancient civilizations, masonry is a traditional, time-honored trade. If you want hardscape masonry constructions that will stand the test of time, give us a call at Greenway of Nashville.
