DiBara Masonry is an Exterior Hillside Specialist, designing and building outdoor spaces for properties with elevation changes, soil conditions, and drainage challenges, delivering retaining walls, structural concrete repair, masonry, drainage systems, and slope-adapted hardscaping solutions.
You don’t need to live on a steep hill to have hillside conditions. If your yard isn’t flat, if it slopes, even slightly, you’re already dealing with soil movement, water flow, and uneven load.
On a slope, you’re not building a project, you’re managing soil, water, and pressure.

Yes. DiBara Masonry has deep expertise in Southern California’s unique geological challenges, including shifting soils, seismic activity, coastal moisture, and hillside drainage. They are designated Exterior Hillside Specialists, meaning they engineer every project, from retaining walls to patios, to account for soil movement, water flow, and structural pressure common on LA properties, even those with only slight slopes.

DiBara Masonry’s process begins with a free virtual consultation, during which they assess your needs and provide a preliminary estimate. If the estimate fits your budget, a specialist visits the site for a precise, fixed-price proposal.

The team cleans up the job site each day, and work is not considered complete until the client is fully satisfied.
DiBara Masonry is one of the few Los Angeles masonry companies explicitly designated as an Exterior Hillside Specialist. Even a slight slope creates unique challenges: soil movement, water flow, uneven load distribution, and drainage issues. DiBara engineers slope-adapted solutions including retaining walls, drainage systems, structural concrete repairs, and hillside-specific hardscaping. Their century of local experience means they understand how Southern California terrain behaves over time, knowledge that generic contractors lack.
We are proud to have four generation and 100+ years of masonry and concrete family experience. Michael Larusso and Matteo DiBara emigrated to the United States from Italy in the early 1900s, leveraging the one skill they had to support themselves: masonry.
Each of them built his new home from brick and stone, with the help of the neighboring community and from the ground up. At the time, it may have appeared that they were merely constructing residences, but it would turn out that they were building the foundation of a legacy that would last for decades.
“They restored our historic building better than we imagined – true craftsmen!”
