Welcome to the Oakland Masonry & Stonework Blog!

Masonry has been part of our family for four generations. Even though Oakland Masonry & Stonework, LLC started in 2012, our experience goes back much further, built on years of dedication to quality work. We’re excited to launch this blog as a helpful resource for homeowners, builders, and commercial partners in Richmond and Chesterfield, VA.

We want to share our knowledge and love for quality craftsmanship with you. Whether you’re planning a backyard makeover or looking for advice on a big commercial project, we hope this blog becomes your main source for everything about masonry and outdoor living.

What You’ll Find on Our Blog

We’ll be sharing a variety of topics that show what we can do as a Class A and SWAM-certified contractor:

• Outdoor Living Inspiration: We’ll share ideas for custom stone fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and bars to help you make your backyard the best spot in the neighborhood.

• Masonry Mastery: Find out about the differences between brick and stone veneers, why structural blockwork matters, and how we take on complex projects like elevator shafts and new foundations.

• Maintenance & Care: Get practical tips for protecting your masonry, from brick repairs to getting ready for Virginia’s changing seasons.

• Behind the Scenes: Take a look at some of our recent residential and commercial projects in Richmond, Northern VA, and other areas.

Why We Love Our Work

At Oakland Masonry, we take "extreme pride in making every job special". For us, it’s more than just laying bricks or stones. We add a personal touch and stand by our work completely. We’re not finished until you’re fully happy with the results.

We’re excited to have you join us on this journey. If you have a dream project, big or small, remember: If you can dream it, we can build it!
