Brick and stone columns for porches, gates, driveways and pergolas, built square, plumb and strong with caps that finish them.
Columns give a home presence. A pair of brick pillars at a driveway entrance announces arrival. Stout columns on a front porch make a house feel grounded. Brick piers under a pergola or along a patio edge tie the outdoor space to the house. They are structural and decorative at the same time.
Each column starts at the footing. We size it for the load it will carry, set reinforcement inside and lay brick in true courses so every face stays square and plumb. Finished with a cap in stone or precast, a masonry column should look as good in thirty years as the day it was built.
A porch column carries a roof, and a gate pillar carries a swinging gate. We size footings and reinforcement to the real load.
Columns show every mistake. We use lines, levels and story poles at each course so faces stay true all the way up.
Caps shed water and give the column a finished look. Corbelled brick, bands and stone tops add depth and shadow.
Gate hinges, lights and house numbers can be built in so they are strong and look intentional.
