Hello and welcome to this site. My name is Jen.
Back in 1992, my parents opened up a small business in Colton, CA now called La Cadena Masonry Supplies where building materials for construction would be sold.
Over the years, the company has expanded from selling only masonry supplies to hardscape and landscape. From a very young I have been involved with the business. Everyday, myself and the staff get asked, “How do you..? and “What do you think looks good?” Although I am not a licensed contractor, I have learned how to create outdoor projects and seen many completed projects through our vendors, contractors, and homeowners who use the products we sell to make amazing projects for their homes. Further, as fate would have it, I married a general contractor who is constantly working on home improvements both indoor and outdoors around the house.
Since we are constantly asked to help guide both contractors and homeowners for their projects, I figured why not share this information not only with them but with you as well. I hope that this site can not only offer helpful tips but inspire you for future home improvement plans.
If you live in So. Cal, please come by the shop and say hello!
