The best craftsman is the professional masonry contractor. Masonry structures are notable for their beauty, versatility, and ability to survive earthquakes and fire.
Clay brick is the oldest manufactured product and has been used in building construction for more than 6,000 years. Clay brick is only one aspect of masonry. Your masonry contractor works with these mediums: stone, mortar, grout, cements, plasters and stucco, concrete, cast stone, and other earthen material like adobe and terra cotta, as well as various coatings to preserve and protect your installation.
As building technologies go, masonry is often much more expensive than wood construction, but is desirable and is pleasing to the eye. Using stone and brick can make a building look as though it has stood for 200 years. On the opposite foot, concrete can be used for a more modern industrial appearance. Both can be done through the skill and craftsmanship of a quality, experienced masonry contractor.

Nebraska is roughly rectangular, except in the northeast and the east where the border is formed by the irregular course of the Missouri River and in the southwest where the state of Colorado cuts out a squared corner. The land rises more or less gradually from 840 ft (256 m) in the east to 5,300 ft (1,615 m) in the west. The great but shallow Platte River, formed in W Nebraska by the junction of the North Platte and the South Platte, flows across the state from west to east to join the Missouri S of Omaha. The Platte and the Missouri, together with their tributaries, give Nebraska all-important water sources that are essential to farming in this agrarian state. Underground water sources are also widely used for irrigation. The river valleys have long provided routes westward, and today the transcontinental railroads and highways follow the valleys.
