Masonry Services for Harwood's Rural Properties
Harwood sits just northeast of Fargo along Highway 18, and many properties here include acreage with outbuildings, shops, and extensive landscaping. Rural properties face unique masonry challenges compared to city lots. Longer driveways need durable paving solutions, larger yards require substantial retaining walls for erosion control, and outbuildings may need foundation work or structural repairs. We understand these needs and bring the right equipment and expertise to handle larger rural projects.
Properties in Harwood deal with heavy clay soil that holds moisture and shifts with seasonal changes. This soil expansion puts stress on foundations, retaining walls, and hardscaping. When spring arrives and the ground thaws, you might notice new cracks or movement in your masonry structures. We design all our installations with proper drainage and use techniques that accommodate soil movement, ensuring your investment lasts for decades despite challenging ground conditions.
Many homes in Harwood were built in the 1970s and 1980s, which means brick foundations and chimneys are reaching the age where maintenance becomes critical. Mortar joints deteriorate over time, especially with our freeze-thaw cycles, leaving brickwork vulnerable to water damage. Regular tuckpointing and inspections prevent small problems from turning into expensive structural repairs down the road.
Why Harwood Property Owners Trust Our Team
We regularly work on properties throughout Harwood, from homes near the school to acreages farther out. Our team knows the roads, understands local soil conditions, and brings all necessary equipment to complete your project efficiently. Many of our Harwood clients appreciate that we are familiar with the area and do not need extensive directions or explanations about local characteristics. We show up prepared and ready to work.
Rural properties often have limited access to some areas, whether due to existing landscaping, outbuildings, or simply the distance from the street. We plan projects carefully to ensure we can deliver materials and operate equipment without damaging your lawn or gardens. Our crew takes pride in leaving your property clean and tidy when the job is finished. You should not have to spend days cleaning up after masonry work is complete.
Harwood homeowners value straightforward communication and fair pricing. We provide detailed written estimates that clearly explain what work will be performed, what materials we will use, and what the total cost will be. No hidden fees or surprise charges. If we discover additional issues during the project, we discuss them with you before proceeding with any extra work. Your trust matters more to us than padding our profit on a single job.
Our Process
Free Consultation & Assessment
We begin with a free visit to your Harwood property to evaluate your masonry needs. During this consultation, we inspect existing structures, measure project areas, and assess site conditions like drainage and soil type. We answer your questions and provide honest recommendations based on what we find. You will never feel pressured to proceed with work you do not want or need. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your property.
Custom Outdoor Features for Harwood Homes
Harwood properties often include generous yard space perfect for outdoor living areas. We design and build custom patios using natural stone or pavers that complement your home and landscape. These spaces become extensions of your home where you can relax, entertain guests, or enjoy family meals outdoors during pleasant weather. We help you choose materials that fit your style and budget while ensuring proper drainage and long-term durability.
Outdoor kitchens and fireplaces are increasingly popular in Harwood as homeowners invest in their properties. A well-designed outdoor kitchen with stone countertops, built-in grill, and storage makes entertaining easy and enjoyable. Outdoor fireplaces or fire pits extend the usable season for your patio, allowing you to enjoy cool spring and fall evenings outside. We build these features to withstand our climate and integrate seamlessly with your existing landscaping.
Many Harwood properties need retaining walls to manage slopes, prevent erosion, or create level planting areas. We engineer retaining walls to handle soil pressure and include proper drainage systems to prevent water buildup. Whether you need a small decorative wall or a substantial structure to stabilize a slope, we have the expertise to design and build it correctly. Properly installed retaining walls protect your landscaping investment and prevent costly erosion problems.
Foundation and Chimney Services
Older homes in Harwood may develop foundation issues over time due to settling, soil movement, or water infiltration. Warning signs include cracks in basement walls, doors that stick, or floors that have become uneven. We provide thorough foundation inspections and repairs including crack sealing, waterproofing, and structural stabilization. Addressing foundation problems early prevents more extensive and expensive damage to your home.
Chimneys in Harwood face harsh conditions with exposure to wind, precipitation, and extreme temperature swings. The freeze-thaw cycle causes mortar to deteriorate and bricks to crack or spall. We offer complete chimney services including tuckpointing to restore mortar joints, crown repairs, flashing replacement, and full rebuilds when necessary. A properly maintained chimney keeps your heating system operating safely and efficiently throughout our long winters.
Tuckpointing is essential maintenance for brick structures. Mortar joints typically deteriorate faster than the bricks themselves, creating pathways for water to enter your walls. We carefully remove deteriorated mortar and replace it with fresh material matched to your existing color and texture. This process restores structural integrity and prevents water damage that could lead to more serious repairs. Regular tuckpointing extends the life of your brickwork by decades.
