Our Services include:

At Lasswell Masonry, Inc., craftsmanship meets durability across every scale of construction. Whether it’s a towering industrial facility, a sleek commercial storefront, or a cozy residential home, our team brings decades of experience and precision to every project. We understand the unique demands of each environment and tailor our masonry solutions to meet structural, aesthetic, and functional goals with lasting integrity.
Bricks (Clay, Concrete & Specialty): Bricks are the backbone of timeless masonry—and we offer a full spectrum. From classic clay bricks that evoke tradition to modern concrete bricks built for strength, and specialty bricks that add character and flair, Lasswell Masonry ensures every wall tells a story. Our brickwork combines beauty and resilience, customized to suit your vision.
Blocks (Concrete & Cinder): For foundational strength and structural reliability, our concrete and cinder block services deliver. Ideal for load-bearing walls, retaining structures, and utility buildings, these blocks are laid with precision and care. We prioritize clean lines, proper reinforcement, and long-term performance in every block installation.
Stone (Natural, Manufactured & Tiles): Stonework brings elegance and permanence to any space. We work with natural stone for its organic beauty, manufactured stone for design flexibility, and stone tiles for refined finishes. Whether it’s a grand façade or a detailed accent wall, our stone masonry is crafted to impress and endure.
Mortar & Grout: The unseen heroes of masonry, mortar and grout hold everything together. Lasswell Masonry uses high-quality mixes tailored to each material and application, ensuring optimal bonding, weather resistance, and longevity. Our attention to detail in these elements guarantees the strength behind the surface.
Sand & Gravel: Essential for mixing, leveling, and foundational support, our sand and gravel services provide the groundwork for success. We source and deliver clean, consistent aggregates that meet project specifications, helping ensure a stable base and smooth finishes.
Sealants & Cleaners: Protecting your investment is just as important as building it. We offer professional-grade sealants to guard against moisture, staining, and wear, along with masonry-safe cleaners that restore surfaces without damage. Our maintenance solutions keep your masonry looking fresh and performing well for years to come.
Reinforcement Materials: Strength starts from within. Lasswell Masonry integrates reinforcement materials—like rebar, mesh, and ties—into our builds to enhance structural integrity and meet engineering standards. These reinforcements are carefully placed to support load-bearing needs and resist environmental stress.
Fireplace & Chimney Materials: There’s nothing quite like the warmth of a well-built fireplace. We specialize in masonry fireplaces and chimneys using heat-resistant materials designed for safety and style. From rustic stone hearths to sleek brick surrounds, our fireplace work adds comfort and charm to any home.
