Burnsville climbs from the Minnesota River bottoms up onto some of the most rolling terrain in the south metro — which means its houses come with two things masons care about: chimneys from the 1970s–1990s build-out now due for attention, and graded lots where retaining walls do real structural work. From River Hills to the neighborhoods around Crystal Lake, the city keeps both sides of our trade busy.
Metro Masonry covers Burnsville with chimney repair and rebuilds, retaining walls built and rebuilt with real drainage, brick repair, and concrete from driveways to steps. Commercial properties along the Highway 13 and County Road 42 corridors get the same crew and process as our Minneapolis restoration work.

Burnsville lots step down to lakes, over ridgelines and along the river bluff — and every stepped yard depends on retaining walls. The walls built during the original construction decades are the ones leaning now, almost always from missing drainage. We rebuild them with compacted base, drainage stone and tile, and reinforcement matched to height, and we build new walls and terraces where a slope should become usable yard.
Walls here pair naturally with steps and walkways cut into grade — front entries that climb from the street, backyard paths that step down to water. Built on real footings, they stay level; built on fill, Minnesota reclaims them. We build the first kind.
Burnsville's housing waves are now 30–50 years old — squarely in the window where crowns crack, flues want caps and liners, and the first chimney rebuilds appear. We handle the full range, from a cap-and-crown repair to tear-down-and-rebuild above the roofline, matched to the house.
Driveways and garage slabs from the same era are reaching replacement too. We tear out, correct base, and repour to Minnesota spec — and for businesses in the Heart of the City and along the retail corridors, we run the same commercial masonry playbook we use across the metro: written scope, occupied-site logistics, clean closeout.
