Preserving Riverside's Historic Homes

Riverside has some of the most beautiful historic homes in Southern California. Your craftsman bungalow or Victorian home needs specialized restoration work that respects its original design. We work throughout the Wood Streets, Magnolia Center, and downtown neighborhoods where these architectural gems sit on tree-lined streets.

The brick foundations and chimneys on homes from the early 1900s require careful attention. Original mortar formulas used softer materials that allowed the brick to expand and contract with temperature changes. Modern hard mortar damages these older bricks by trapping moisture inside. We use period-appropriate mortar mixes and traditional techniques to preserve your home's historic character while ensuring structural soundness.

Many historic homes in Riverside have brick front porches, walkways, and garden walls that add charm to the property. When these features need repair, matching the original brick color and style matters. We source appropriate materials and carefully replicate the original patterns. This attention to detail maintains your home's authenticity and protects its value in Riverside's competitive historic home market.

Custom Outdoor Living Spaces

The climate in Riverside makes outdoor living spaces a smart investment. Your backyard can function as an extension of your home for most of the year. We build custom patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire features that match your lifestyle and property. From large entertaining areas in Alessandro Heights to cozy courtyards in La Sierra, we design spaces that work for how you actually use your yard.

Natural stone and brick patios add both beauty and functionality to your outdoor areas. These materials handle the heat better than concrete and provide better drainage during the occasional heavy rain. We install paver patios that include built-in seating, planters, and cooking areas. This creates a complete outdoor room rather than just a flat pad.

Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits extend the use of your patio into cooler evenings. We build these features with proper ventilation and safety clearances while creating attractive focal points for your outdoor space. Stone or brick surrounds tie the fireplace into your overall landscape design. Many Riverside homeowners use their outdoor living areas year-round, making this investment pay dividends in quality of life and home value.

Our Process

Here is how we work with you from start to finish.

Natural Stone Masonry Work

Natural stone brings timeless beauty to your Riverside property. We work with flagstone, fieldstone, and cut stone to create unique features that enhance your landscape. Your property might benefit from a stone retaining wall in a hillside yard near Box Springs Mountain, a flagstone patio in your backyard, or stone columns at your driveway entrance.

The dry-stacked stone walls popular throughout Riverside require skilled craftsmanship to build correctly. Each stone must fit precisely with its neighbors to create a stable structure without mortar. We build these walls for both function and aesthetics. They hold back soil on sloped properties while adding natural beauty that complements Riverside's landscape. These walls age beautifully and can last for generations with minimal maintenance.

Custom stone features set your property apart from standard construction. We create stone water features, garden walls, and architectural accents that reflect your personal style. The varied colors and textures of natural stone work well with the Spanish colonial and Mediterranean architecture common in Riverside. These installations become focal points that increase both the beauty and value of your property.

Durable Driveways and Walkways

Your driveway and walkways take constant wear from vehicles, foot traffic, and weather exposure. Paver installations offer advantages over concrete by providing flexibility that prevents cracking and easy repair if damage occurs. We install pavers throughout Riverside neighborhoods, from the larger lots in Canyon Crest to compact yards closer to downtown.

Concrete pavers come in numerous colors and patterns that let you customize your property's appearance. You can choose simple running bond patterns for a clean look or complex designs that create visual interest. We ensure proper base preparation and edge restraints so your pavers stay in place for decades. The permeable options also help with drainage, which matters during Riverside's winter rains.

Front walkways create your home's first impression. A well-designed brick or stone path adds curb appeal while guiding visitors to your entrance. We build these walkways to complement your home's architecture and existing landscape. Proper grading ensures water drains away from your foundation. Lighting integration options make these paths both beautiful and safe for evening use.
