What is Masonry Work?

Seamless Stone Masonry Stone WallsMasonry is building structures from individual units, which are often laid in and bound together by mortar. Common materials of masonry construction are brick, natural stone (such as marble, granite, travertine, and limestone,) cast stone, concrete block, stucco, tile, and glass block. Masonry is a highly durable form of construction.

The strength and durability of masonry are affected by the materials used, the quality of the mortar, the workmanship, and the pattern in which they are assembled. A person who constructs masonry is called a mason, a brick mason, stone mason, or bricklayer.
