Block wall construction in Bakersfield
Gabriel Mariscal builds concrete block walls in Bakersfield for backyards, side yards and property lines. A block wall stands up to Valley heat and wind far longer than a wood fence, and each wall is built on a proper footing with steel and grout, then finished with a cap.

Why block walls are the Bakersfield standard
Walk any Bakersfield subdivision and you will see block walls between yards. Wood fences dry out, warp and lean under Valley sun and wind, while a well-built block wall does not need replacing. Taller walls usually need a permit from the City of Bakersfield or Kern County.
Gabriel is based at 5008 Gaylene Ave in southeast Bakersfield and takes block walls jobs across Bakersfield and Kern County.

Block Walls questions
How tall can a block wall be without a permit?
Height limits depend on where you live and whether the wall is in a front or back yard. Walls over the local limit need a permit from the City of Bakersfield or Kern County, and Gabriel will check that before the estimate.
Block wall or wood fence?
A wood fence costs less upfront, but a block wall lasts far longer, gives more privacy and blocks more noise. For a property-line fence you only want to build once, block is the long-term choice.
What about my neighbor's side?
Property-line walls affect both yards, so it is worth talking to your neighbor first. Access to both sides makes the build cleaner.
