R.S.G. Masonry Inc.

Masonry and hardscape · Sacramento

Masonry, paving and garden walls in Sacramento.

Stonework that settles into a home. Terraces, brickwork and paver drives laid by hand, for houses meant to be lived in rather than photographed once and forgotten.

The premise

A patio is not a purchase you make twice.

It is laid once, and then you live on it for twenty years. R.S.G. Masonry is a small Sacramento shop run by Ruben Sanchez, who learned the trade from the ground up over years of hands on work before putting his initials on it. Every commission is set out, laid and finished by the same pair of hands. Nothing is subcontracted out and handed back.

Most of what decides that is under the surface, and it is finished before the first stone goes down.

Ruben developed his skills through years of practical, on the job training, learning the trade from the ground up. That is still how the work is done here. You meet the person who will build it, and that person is on site until it is finished.
