Are Masonry Fences Worth It?

Posted on January 20, 2025 by Lone Star Fence & Construction

There’s no getting around it. Masonry fences can be quite expensive when compared to other fencing type.

Typically they cost $10 to $40 per square foot, an amount that adds up quickly. So while you might love the stately, elegant aesthetics of a brick fence, you’re well within your rights to ask yourself: “is this really worth it?”

We, of course, believe a masonry fence is absolutely worth it, especially if it serves all of your purposes to perfection. Many of our past clients have been very happy with them too. Here are a few reasons why a masonry fence is an investment, rather than an expense.

Longevity

With proper maintenance, a brick fence can last over 100 years. 

The only fence that lasts as long or longer is a metal fence, which can also be a great investment for your home.

If you’d like to build one fence, once, without ever having to replace that fence ever again, then a masonry fence is the way to go. 

Extreme Privacy and Security

Neighbors can’t peer through a brick fence. Criminals can’t case your yard with ease. They can’t climb the fence either.

A masonry fence will transform your property into a secluded getaway where you can relax and be yourself.

Pair that fence with an automatic gate, and you’ll enjoy the penultimate security experience. Your home truly will become your castle. 

Easy Maintenance

For the most part, masonry fences require only an annual inspection. Every now and then you’ll need repointing services, which will get rid of old, cracked mortar and replace it with new mortar.

While you should address any problems you find quickly, you won’t be spending long summer days on pressure washing, sanding, and re-staining a fence. 

Design Flexibility

We can handle any property line or state with a masonry fence. We can design them in a wide variety of ways to match your unique aesthetic as well. 

If you have a vision, we can help bring it to life. If you don’t, we can design and suggest one. But masonry fences are great for nearly any property, unlike, at times, wooden fences which don’t do so well on some properties. 

Noise Reduction

If you want your property to become quiet, a masonry fence is the way to go. Brick is extremely effective at blocking out road and neighborhood noises. 

Houston can be very noisy, so this is the number one advantage many of our customers really enjoy.
