The masonry process in which a bricklayer uses brick and mortar to build up a wall or structure, is called brickwork. Bricks are one of the oldest building materials and are a very popular choice with both architects and engineers and they are utilized for building restoration, home repairs, new construction projects and chimney work.
There is a wide selection of colors and textures with bricks and with an experienced and talented bricklayer, a unique and beautiful design can be created. In terms of mortar, there are two choices: you can either add mortar that matches the color of the bricks for a streamlined look, or you can choose a complementing color to add more interest. The applications for brickwork are endless and you are only limited by your creativity.
