Whether it’s a walkway, driveway, foundation, flatwork, or any other concrete work, EKB Masonry’s concrete contractors are experienced concrete finishers and technicians who have demonstrated knowledge and ability to place, consolidate, finish, edge, joint, cure, and protect concrete work.
Commercial concrete construction services encompass a wide range of services related to the construction and maintenance of concrete structures for commercial purposes. These services typically include:
- Site Preparation: Clearing the site, grading, and excavating for foundations.
- Foundations: Pouring concrete footings and slabs to provide a stable base for the building.
- Slabs: Installing concrete floors for various commercial spaces, such as warehouses, retail stores, and office buildings.
- Curbs and Sidewalks: Constructing concrete curbs and sidewalks for pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
- Retaining Walls: Building concrete walls to prevent soil erosion and create level areas.
- Parking Lots and Driveways: Installing concrete surfaces for parking and vehicle access.

- Specialized Concrete Work: This can include decorative concrete, stamped concrete, colored concrete, and other specialized finishes.
EKB Masonry work closely with architects, engineers, and other construction professionals to ensure that the concrete work meets the project’s specific requirements.
EKB Masonry starts by excavating the soil in the area where the concrete will be poured. Some projects may require a gravel or sand base for support, while others can be poured directly onto the soil. Wooden or composite boards are used to create forms to hold in the wet concrete. Rebar, wire mesh, or fiber can be placed into the concrete to help support and reinforce the structure, though this is not always required on basic flatwork. Finally, the concrete mixture is poured and allowed to harden, or cure, to a solid finish.

Building Commercial Success
EKB Masonry has offered brick construction services to customers in the Jacksonville area for more than 20 years. You can place your trust in our brick construction services because our masons have been trained in the best practices as defined by the Building Stone Institute and the Construction Specifications Institute.
For example, EKB Masonry takes the time to strike or tool the mortar joints of the brick, resulting in the cleanest, nicest looking finished product. The striking of a wall can make or break how the wall looks after it has been laid.
To make sure your project is not only completed within budget and schedule and lasts for decades, read further to see how EKB Masonry approaches a brick construction project to guarantee a beautiful and long-lasting structure.
Brick masonry is construction in which uniform units (“bricks”), small enough to be placed with one hand, are laid in courses with mortar joints to form walls. Bricks are kiln baked from various clay and shale mixtures. The chemical and physical characteristics of the ingredients vary considerably. These characteristics and the kiln temperatures combine to produce brick in a variety of colors and harnesses. In some regions, individual pits yield clay or shale which, when ground and moistened, can be formed and baked into durable brick. In other regions, clay or shale from several pits must be mixed.
Natural, Cultured, and Cast Stone Contractors

- Types of Stone Used in Commercial Construction
- Natural Stone: Extracted directly from quarries, natural stone offers unique textures, colors, and patterns. Popular choices include granite, marble, limestone, and sandstone.
- Cultured Stone: Also known as manufactured stone veneer, cultured stone is a man-made product designed to mimic the appearance of natural stone. It’s often more affordable and easier to install than natural stone.
- Cast Stone: Created by pouring concrete into molds, cast stone offers precise dimensions and consistent appearance. It can be customized to match various natural stone styles.
- Services Provided by EKB Masonry
- Installation: Installing stone on exterior and interior walls, floors, and other surfaces.
- Restoration: Repairing and restoring damaged stone surfaces.
- Maintenance: Providing cleaning and sealing services to protect stone investments.
- Commercial Applications of Stone
- Stone is widely used in commercial construction for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance. Common applications include:
- Building facades and exterior cladding
- Flooring for lobbies, offices, and retail spaces
- Landscaping features like walls, patios, and walkways
- By selecting the right stone type and working with experienced contractors, businesses can create stunning and long-lasting stone elements for their commercial properties.

Concrete Block Construction
No matter the size or style of the block or if it is going to be covered or not, EKB Masonry contractors ensure that they install the cleanest quality craftsmanship the customer deserves.
Concrete block has been used as a building material for more than a century. In some regions, concrete block is also a common building material frequently used in home construction. Generally, concrete blocks are fabricated using products such as portland cement, different aggregates such as stone or quartz, and water. The chances are also high that you’ve seen many concrete block projects that don’t look like they’re made out of concrete block because of their external facings or coverings.
