Masonry Contractor in Edgefield County, SC

Edgefield County lies north of Aiken County, about forty miles from our shop in Williston. It is rolling, historic country, and the town of Edgefield is known for its old town square and a long pottery tradition. Many properties here have character worth protecting, and we approach repair and new work with that in mind.

Once you head north out of the sandhills, the soil turns to red clay. Clay holds water and swells when it is wet, which pushes hard against anything built to hold it back. Any retaining wall we build here gets a gravel drainage zone and a perforated pipe behind it so water can escape instead of building pressure. The rolling ground also means more slopes, so walls and steps are a bigger part of the work than in the flat counties to the south.

Common projects include retaining walls and terraced garden walls, stone and brick steps, patios set into sloped yards, and careful restoration of older brick. We also build outdoor kitchens and fireplaces for homeowners who want a gathering spot with a view.

Older properties around Edgefield often need repairs done with a light touch. We repoint mortar with a mix suited to older brick, rebuild loose steps and match colours so the work does not stand out. For new projects on sloped ground, we walk the property with you first to plan walls, steps and patios that work with the land rather than against it.
