In Las Vegas, the block wall is the standard property line. Drive any street in the valley and you see block on both sides of nearly every backyard. That is what we build. Ram Masonry is a block wall contractor serving Las Vegas and the rest of Clark County. We pour footings, set rebar, lay block, and cap the top. Our crews build new block walls at fresh lots and around finished homes. We also raise short walls and rebuild block that has cracked or leaned. Owner Juan Delgadillo has decades of hands-on masonry experience, and Ram Masonry has been working here since 2014.
A block wall here handles things a wood fence never does. Summer sun bakes the south face for months at a time. Monsoon gusts push hard on a solid six foot run. The ground fights back too, since caliche sits under much of the valley and turns footing trenches into slow digging. Footings go to the depth the approved plan calls for. Rebar ties the wall down into that footing. Cells get grouted where the design requires. A block wall built that way holds its line for decades.

Every block wall starts underground. We mark the wall line, then dig the footing trench along it. Caliche sits under much of the valley, so some trenches take a jackhammer instead of a backhoe bucket. Trench depth and width follow the approved plan for your wall height.
Rebar goes in next. Vertical bars stand at the spacing the plan calls for. A horizontal bar runs the length of the footing. We pour the footing and let it cure, with the vertical bars left exposed above the concrete.
Then the block goes on. The first course gets laid dead level off the footing, and the wall runs up course by course from there. Grout fills the cells around the vertical steel. The top gets a cap or a bond beam.
Permits come before any of that. In unincorporated Clark County, a block wall over 24 inches tall needs a building permit. Walls on a shared property line also need a notarized property line authorization form from the adjoining owner. We pull the permit under our license.
Block walls fail in a few familiar ways here. A car backs through a section and takes out five or six feet. A stair-step crack opens near a corner or a gate post. A long run starts to lean because the footing under it moved.
We check the footing before we price block wall repair. A cracked wall on a sound footing gets a partial rebuild. We cut the damaged block back to a clean vertical break. New block gets tied into the old with rebar and grout.
A leaning block wall is a different job. Patching the block on top of a failed footing buys only a little time. That section comes down and gets rebuilt from a new footing. We tell you which one you have before work starts.
Clark County exempts small repairs from the permit. A repair on a block wall six feet or under does not need one, up to 20 linear feet. Larger repairs do, and we pull them.
Block wall cost in Las Vegas moves with height, wall length, ground conditions, and access. A standard six foot block wall commonly lands somewhere near $55 to $100 per linear foot installed. That covers footing, rebar, block, grout, and cap. Every wall gets bid on site, so read that as a starting point.
Height is the biggest lever. A taller block wall needs a wider footing plus more steel and block per foot. Caliche is next. A trench cut through hard caliche takes far longer than one through sand.
Access changes the number too. Block moved by hand through a narrow side gate costs more than block dropped on an open lot. Old wall demo, gates, decorative caps, and stucco finish each add to the total. Block wall repair is priced by the job rather than by the foot.
We work residential and commercial across the valley. Homeowners call us for a block fence around the backyard, perimeter block walls, wall raises, and block walls around pools. Builders call us for long block wall runs across new subdivisions before the houses go up.
On the commercial side we build CMU buildings from the slab up. We also build block trash enclosures for shopping centers and block foundation walls that carry structural load. Our crews have run highway sound walls, which are tall block walls built to stand against wind and traffic.
Our service area covers the whole valley. That means Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, Winchester, Summerlin, and Boulder City. If your parcel is in Clark County, we can get to it.

(702) 769-4416From the first look at the site to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.
Call or send the form, and photos by text get a fast first read. For a firm number we come out, measure the run, and check what sits under the job: grade, access, caliche, old work.
You get a written price and timeline before any work starts. If a permit or engineering applies, the estimate says so. Repair and rebuild get quoted as separate numbers when both are on the table.
Footings dug to bearing and inspected, rebar and grout in the cells, base compacted before concrete, mortar kept from drying too fast in the heat. The parts you never see get built like the parts you do.
We walk the finished work with you: walls plumb, joints full, slabs draining the right way, site cleaned up. Done means you have looked at every part of it and said so.

Vegas heat and monsoon wind punish shortcuts. Early summer pours, mortar kept from drying too fast, drainage behind every retaining wall, footings cut through caliche instead of stopping on it.
