FAQ

Brick Walls, Pillars & Columns questions, answered

Why is my brick pillar leaning?

Usually the footing is too shallow and frost has heaved it, or a vehicle has hit it. Leaning pillars normally need rebuilding on a proper footing.

How deep should footings be in Massachusetts?

Most Massachusetts communities require footings to extend below frost depth, typically 48 inches. We confirm local requirements before building.

Can you add lights to my pillars?

Yes. We run conduit during construction so an electrician can connect lights afterward.

Do garden walls need a permit?

Short garden walls usually do not, but walls over certain heights or near property lines may. We check with your town's building department.

What caps last the longest?

Thermal bluestone and granite caps with a drip edge last the longest and protect the wall below from water.
