Masonry for Johnston Acreages
Johnston has many acreage properties with 2, 5, or even 10 acre lots. These larger properties create unique opportunities for impressive masonry features. Homeowners on acreages often want extensive outdoor entertaining areas that suburban lots cannot accommodate. We build large stone patios, complete outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and custom pizza ovens that become the centerpiece of acreage properties. The space available on these lots lets us create true outdoor rooms with built-in seating, multiple cooking areas, and elaborate landscaping integration.
Acreage properties along Beaver Creek and near Saylorville Lake also frequently need retaining walls and drainage solutions. The varied terrain on larger lots often includes slopes and elevation changes. Without proper retaining walls, soil erosion washes away your property during heavy rains. We design and build structural retaining walls that hold back soil while enhancing your landscape design. Many acreage owners also add long paver driveways from the road to their homes. These extended driveways require proper engineering and materials to handle vehicle traffic without settling or cracking. The investment in quality masonry work pays off for decades on acreage properties where everything operates on a larger scale.
Serving Johnston New Developments
Johnston continues growing with new subdivisions and developments throughout the area. These newer homes use modern building materials and techniques. The brick and stone on homes built in the last 10 years differs from older construction. Thin brick veneer has replaced traditional full-thickness brick walls. Manufactured stone veneer creates the appearance of natural stone at lower cost. While these modern materials work well, they require specialized knowledge for proper repairs and additions.
We work extensively in Johnston newer neighborhoods helping homeowners customize their properties. Many people buy new construction and then want to add custom stone patios or outdoor fireplaces within a few years. The builder typically includes basic landscaping but not elaborate hardscapes. We help Johnston homeowners transform their backyards into functional outdoor living spaces. New construction also sometimes experiences settling that causes minor cracks in brick veneer or concrete. We repair these issues properly so they do not become larger problems. Whether your Johnston home is brand new or you are planning additions to enhance it, we provide masonry services that match the quality and style of your property.

Then we explain exactly what we discovered using plain language without confusing jargon.

Foundation Repair and Waterproofing
Basements throughout Johnston deal with water issues. The clay soil common in this area expands when wet and shrinks when dry. This constant movement puts pressure on foundation walls and can cause cracks over time. Water finds these cracks and seeps into your basement during heavy rains or spring snowmelt. Even small amounts of moisture in basements lead to mold, musty odors, and damage to stored items. Serious water intrusion can undermine the structural integrity of your entire home.
We provide masonry foundation repair and waterproofing services that stop water before it enters your basement. We repair cracks properly using materials designed specifically for below-grade applications. Simply covering cracks with waterproof paint does not solve the underlying problem. We address both the structural issues and the water infiltration. Exterior waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation to apply proper waterproof membranes and install drainage systems. Interior solutions include repairing cracks, installing drainage channels, and adding sump pump systems. The right approach depends on your specific situation. We assess your foundation thoroughly and recommend solutions that will actually work long term, not temporary patches that fail in a few years.
Masonry Services Near Terra Park
The neighborhoods around Terra Park and throughout central Johnston feature a mix of home styles and ages. This area includes both established properties from 20 or 30 years ago and newer construction. Homes here often have brick accents on the front facade, attached garages with brick columns, and decorative masonry features. Over time, the mortar joints on these features deteriorate and need tuckpointing. Brick faces can crack or spall, especially near ground level where water splashes up from rain.
We help Johnston homeowners maintain and improve their masonry throughout these neighborhoods. Regular maintenance extends the life of your masonry by decades. Tuckpointing before serious deterioration occurs costs much less than rebuilding damaged sections later. We also help homeowners upgrade their properties with stone veneer, custom patios, and outdoor living spaces that increase both enjoyment and property value. Whether you need repairs to existing masonry or want to add new features, we provide expert service throughout the Terra Park area and all of Johnston. Our local knowledge and experience with Iowa construction ensures your masonry work will last for generations.
