Serving Longview, TX and surrounding areas. (430) 267-1978
Longview Concrete & Masonry is a masonry contractor serving Hallsville, TX with brick wall installation, tuckpointing, and foundation repair for Harrison County homeowners, and we reply to every inquiry within one business day. From the subdivisions off Highway 80 to wooded properties on county roads, we work all across Hallsville.
Hallsville homeowners on larger wooded lots often want privacy walls, garden walls, or perimeter walls that fit the scale of their property. Our brick wall installation service builds walls that are properly footed for East Texas clay soil, so they hold their line through wet seasons and dry spells without cracking or leaning.
Most Hallsville homes from the 1970s and 1980s were built with brick veneer, and the mortar in many of those homes is now past its service life. Tuckpointing replaces the deteriorated mortar before water can work through to the wood framing, extending the life of the wall without the cost of a full rebuild.
Harrison County's expansive clay soil shrinks in summer and swells with rain, and that cycle puts real stress on slab foundations. Sticking doors, visible floor gaps, and diagonal cracks in drywall are the early warning signs that a slab is moving, and addressing foundation problems promptly keeps a smaller repair from becoming a major one.
Hallsville properties often have long driveways, and the combination of clay soil movement and root pressure from mature pine trees causes concrete slabs to crack and shift over time. Paver driveways distribute load more flexibly, which holds up better to the soil conditions common across this area's larger lots.
Hallsville's wet climate and occasional hard freezes are hard on masonry chimneys, and homeowners in this area often find that mortar crowns and flashing at the roofline have deteriorated without any visible sign from the ground. A cracked chimney cap lets rain enter the flue and can damage the firebox and surrounding framing before the problem becomes obvious inside the home.
Hallsville receives over 45 inches of rain per year, and lots with any slope can see significant soil erosion during the wet spring season. A properly built retaining wall holds grade around driveways, planting beds, and outbuildings, and prevents the kind of washout that gets progressively worse after each storm.
Hallsville sits in the Piney Woods of East Texas, about 12 miles east of Longview on US Highway 80. The area has grown steadily as families moved out from Longview and Marshall seeking larger lots and the Hallsville school district. That growth means the housing stock ranges from 1970s ranch homes with original brick to newer subdivisions built in the 2000s, and the masonry needs are different for each. Older homes often need tuckpointing and crack repair on original mortar that is reaching the end of its service life. Newer homes are starting to show the effects of clay soil movement on foundations and concrete flat work.
The wooded lots that make Hallsville attractive also create specific masonry challenges. Mature pine and hardwood trees have root systems that grow under driveways, sidewalks, and paved areas over time, causing the concrete to heave and crack. Pine needles accumulate on roofs and in gutters, holding moisture against chimneys and flashing. Harrison County's clay soils expand and contract with seasonal moisture changes, which is the underlying cause behind sticking doors, foundation cracks, and shifting brick veneer on many homes here. A masonry contractor who works in this area regularly knows to look beyond the surface damage to understand what the soil and site conditions are contributing to the problem.
Our crew works throughout Hallsville regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect masonry contractor work here. Because Hallsville is close to our Longview base, we can typically get to a Hallsville job faster than contractors coming from farther out. We are familiar with the properties along US Highway 80 and the county roads that branch off it, including the mix of older in-town neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions that have been built on the edges of the city over the past two decades.
Hallsville is the home of the Hallsville Independent School District, and Bobcat athletics is a point of genuine local pride. Most homeowners here bought with the intention to stay, and they tend to approach home repairs the same way - they want it done right so they do not have to come back to the same problem in a few years. We try to match that approach on every job.
Hallsville is right next door to Longview, TX, and we serve both communities regularly - so if you have family or neighbors in Longview who need masonry work, we cover that area as well. We also work throughout Marshall, TX, which is just a short drive east on Highway 80 and shares much of the same housing stock and soil conditions as Hallsville.

(430) 267-1978Hallsville is a small city in Harrison County, located about 12 miles east of Longview along US Highway 80. With a population of around 4,500 to 5,000 residents, it sits squarely in the Piney Woods region of East Texas, where wooded lots and rural-style properties are the norm even close to town. The city has grown steadily over the past two decades as families moved in from Longview and Marshall, drawn by lower land costs and the reputation of the local school district. Most properties are owner-occupied single-family homes, many on half-acre to multi-acre lots with mature pine and hardwood trees.
The housing stock is a mix of 1970s and 1980s ranch-style homes with brick veneer exteriors and newer construction from the 2000s onward. Both eras share the same underlying challenge: Harrison County's clay-heavy soils shift with seasonal moisture changes, putting ongoing stress on slabs, driveways, and masonry walls. Despite the rural feel, Hallsville is close enough to Longview that residents have easy access to services, and the drive to Marshall to the east is equally short. We also serve homeowners in nearby White Oak, TX, which is just north of Longview, and the communities around Gladewater, TX, where the housing stock and soil conditions are similar to what we see throughout this part of Harrison County.
