Serving Apple Valley, CA and surrounding areas. (442) 220-8629
Apple Valley Masonry & Concrete brings masonry contractor services to Victorville, CA, covering concrete block walls, retaining walls, and tuckpointing, with a team that has worked across the High Desert since 2017 and responds to every inquiry within one business day.
Victorville properties along the Route 66 corridor and in the newer subdivisions near Bear Valley Road often use block walls for perimeter fencing, privacy screens, and property boundaries. Concrete block walls hold up to the High Desert sun and blowing sand far better than wood fencing, and they require very little maintenance over time.
Victorville homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s are now old enough that slab movement and settling are showing up as sticking doors, diagonal cracks near windows, and visible floor gaps. Sandy desert soil shifts more than most homeowners expect, and early repair prevents much larger structural bills later.
Flash flooding along Victorville's dry washes and drainage channels can erode yards and undermine driveways quickly. A masonry retaining wall controls that runoff and keeps your soil in place even during the heavy, fast-moving rain events the Mojave Desert sees in winter and late summer.
The high desert sun and freeze-thaw cycle together eat mortar joints faster than most homeowners notice. Tuckpointing on chimneys and block walls stops water from finding its way into the joints during the rare but intense Victorville rainstorms that come with winter storms and the monsoon season.
Desert landscaping is the standard in Victorville, and a well-built masonry walkway ties together decomposed granite, drought-tolerant plants, and entry paths without the cracking and shifting that plain concrete develops after a few winters at this elevation.
Brick mailbox surrounds, planters, and decorative walls are common on Victorville tract homes. The grit and blowing sand from High Desert winds scour brick faces every year, and spalled bricks absorb moisture far faster than intact ones.
Victorville sits at about 2,700 feet in the Mojave Desert, and the climate here is more demanding than most homeowners realize when they first move from the coast or the valley. Summers regularly push past 100 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks at a time, while winter nights drop below freezing from November through February. That combination - extreme heat expanding materials in summer, freeze-thaw cycling cracking them in winter - degrades masonry faster than in milder climates. A contractor who is not familiar with High Desert conditions will often spec mortar mixes, block placements, and curing times that work fine in a mild climate but fail quickly in Victorville's conditions.
Most of Victorville's housing stock went up during the 1990s and 2000s boom years. Those homes are now 15 to 35 years old, and block walls, driveways, patios, and chimneys from that era are hitting the point where they need real attention. The city also sits in a wind corridor that channels strong desert gusts, particularly in spring, and that blowing sand and grit grinds away exterior masonry surfaces year after year. Homes near the Mojave River corridor can also see more soil movement than other parts of the city, which shows up as cracked slabs and shifting driveways over time.
Our crew works throughout Victorville regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect masonry contractor work here. The city is spread across a large footprint along Interstate 15, and the building stock varies noticeably between the older neighborhoods near the historic Route 66 corridor and the newer subdivisions out near Bear Valley Road and Hesperia Road. We have worked on both types of properties and know what to expect in each area.
We coordinate permits with the City of Victorville Building and Safety Division for any structural work that requires one, and we know the local inspection process. We serve the full city, from the downtown area near the California Route 66 Museum to the growing residential areas on the north and east sides of town.
Victorville is neighboring territory to our home base in Apple Valley, and we regularly serve homeowners across both cities. We also work throughout Hesperia to the south, and we know the differences in building conditions across each part of the High Desert.
Contact us by phone or online form and you will hear back within one business day. A lot of Victorville homeowners commute to work, so we schedule estimate visits around your hours.
We visit the property, look at the full scope, and give you a written estimate at no charge. We also tell you upfront if a permit is required from the City of Victorville for your specific job.
Once you approve the estimate, we lock in a start date and show up when we say we will. We avoid scheduling masonry pours during the hottest parts of the Victorville summer to protect cure quality.
We walk through the finished work with you before we leave, answer any questions, and clean up the site. If anything needs follow-up, we handle it.

(442) 220-8629Victorville is one of the larger cities in San Bernardino County, with a population of around 134,000 people. It grew rapidly through the 1990s and 2000s as buyers priced out of the Los Angeles area found affordable single-family homes in the High Desert. The city stretches along Interstate 15, which connects it to Las Vegas to the northeast and the Inland Empire to the southwest. Most of the housing stock is tract-built single-family homes with stucco exteriors, attached garages, and moderate yard sizes. The older neighborhoods near the historic Route 66 corridor downtown have a different character from the newer subdivisions that spread out toward Bear Valley Road and beyond. You can read more about Victorville on Wikipedia.
The Mojave River runs through the city, and the Southern California Logistics Airport - built on the former George Air Force Base - is one of the area's major employers. The city shares the same High Desert climate and desert landscape as its neighbors Apple Valley to the east and Hesperia to the south. Many Victorville homeowners commute long distances to work and rely on contractors they can trust to show up on time, give straight quotes, and get the job done without requiring supervision.
