CMU Block Wall Installation in Camarillo, CA

Most CMU block walls over 4 feet in height measured from the bottom of the footing require a building permit in California. Ruiz Masonry & Concrete can help you understand what your specific Camarillo project will require before work starts.

A CMU block wall is built from concrete masonry units set in mortar with steel rebar and grout inside the cores for strength. Unlike wood or vinyl fencing, a CMU wall in Camarillo is a permanent masonry structure designed to handle structural loads and last for decades.
