Brick wall installation in Noblesville IN - a wall that holds up to wet freezes
Worried a brick wall will crack or flake after a few winters? We build garden and screen walls with freeze-rated brick on a solid footing.
I look at your yard myself
I come out myself to look at where the wall will go and write the estimate. Our own crew of masons builds it, and I'm on the job with them, so the person who quoted it is there when the brick goes up.
In business since 2013
We've been in business since 2013, and I learned the trade working under an older mason. That's where I picked up the habit of asking why a wall failed, which shapes how I plan a new one.

Brick garden walls in Noblesville
Brick wall installation in Noblesville means building a brick garden wall on a foundation set in the ground, to edge a garden or to screen a side or rear yard. It's for homeowners who want privacy, a clear boundary or a brick look that belongs with the house.
The price of a garden wall comes down to how long and tall it runs, which brick you pick, whether it's solid or piers with thinner panels between, and how much footing has to be dug. A slope or a tight side yard adds work. The schedule turns mostly on the permit question and on getting the footing in before any brick goes up. When I come out, I look at the ground and put the work in writing.
Where the wall sits on your lot matters here. Noblesville lets a wall stand close to your property lines as long as drivers pulling out of a driveway can still see the street, so a wall near the drive gets planned around that view. The city's permit rules don't name brick walls, so before we set a start date I check with the city or county office for your address, and when a permit's needed we handle the application.
Brick, footings and caps for garden walls
Brick rated for a wet freeze
Facing brick is graded SW or MW for how well it resists damage from freezing while soaked, with SW the tougher grade, and a garden wall takes rain and snow on both faces with no roof over it. For a garden or screen wall, I'll tell you which brick we're quoting and how it stands up to a wet freeze, so you can ask other bidders the same question. Years on, mortar joints usually wear before good brick does, and brick pointing renews them without a rebuild.
Pier and panel or a solid wall
A pier and panel wall uses thin brick panels braced every so often by brick columns called piers. Trade guidance says it's relatively easy to build, costs less because the panels are thinner and adapts well to uneven ground, which makes it a practical choice for a sloping yard. A solid wall gives a heavier look on level ground, and I'll walk the yard with you to see which fits. If you'd rather have the wall in stone, that's our stone masonry work.
A footing in undisturbed ground
Trade guidance puts a garden wall's footing in undisturbed earth, ground nobody has dug up or filled, and below the frost line, because loose fill settles and frozen ground heaves. The footing dig is written into the estimate so it isn't a surprise. On top, the cap row called coping should stick out past the brick on both faces and carry a drip edge, so rain drops clear instead of running down the face.

Call or send photos
Call (317) 214-8382 or use the form on this page, and send photos of the spot if you can. It helps to have the wall's rough length and height ready, plus where it'll sit on the lot and any slope.
I look over the ground
I come out, walk the spot where the wall will go and look at the slope, the soil and how close it sits to the driveway. Then I write up the estimate with the brick, the wall style and the footing laid out.
Permit, build and walkthrough
When a permit's needed, Noblesville takes the application online and approves it before any construction starts, so we set the start date after that. Our crew builds the wall, and I walk it with you before we pack up. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Brick wall questions in Noblesville
How much does a brick wall cost near Indianapolis?
Brick and masonry work in the Indianapolis area usually costs about $12 to $30 per square foot. That's the area's going range, not our price. Where your wall falls depends on its size, the brick, the wall style and how much footing has to be dug, and I'll put your figure in writing once I've seen the spot.
Can I use old salvaged brick for a garden wall?
You can, but only if the brick meets Grade SW, according to trade guidance for garden walls. Used brick generally falls short because it's often unevenly burned, so some of it won't stand up to soaking and freezing. If you love the older look, ask for proof the brick is SW first, and I'll tell you straight whether it's worth using.
How tall can a brick wall be in a Noblesville yard?
Noblesville allows residential walls up to seven feet tall in the required side or rear yard, so that's the top end for a privacy screen beside or behind the house. Height also moves the price, since a taller wall takes more brick and more footing.
Which office reviews brick wall permits in Noblesville?
Noblesville's building division reviews permits for yard structures, and the city's Department of Planning and Development answers questions about project rules and permits at 317-776-6325. The city's permit list names pools but not brick walls, so it doesn't settle whether a garden wall needs one. Give that office a call, or let me check when I come out.
