Airway Heights Concrete & Masonry provides masonry contracting in Mead, WA, handling retaining walls, concrete flatwork repair, and foundation masonry on the ranch and split-level homes throughout this north Spokane County community. We have served the Mead area since 2018 and reply to all new inquiries within 1 business day.

Mead properties on rolling terrain or larger lots often need retaining walls to hold back soil on slopes and control drainage away from foundations. Our retaining wall construction service covers concrete block, stone, and poured walls sized for residential lots throughout north Spokane County.
Most Mead homes were built between the 1970s and early 2000s, and their original concrete driveways, walkways, and patios have been through decades of freeze-thaw cycles. We repair cracked slabs, heaved sections, and spalled surfaces before they become a trip hazard or let water reach the sub-base.
Ranch-style and split-level homes common in Mead often have concrete block foundation walls that crack or bow after years of soil pressure and freeze-thaw stress. Catching cracks early - before water intrusion begins - keeps repair costs manageable.
Older mortar joints on brick chimneys, foundation walls, and garden beds deteriorate over time, especially after Mead winters where freeze-thaw cycles open up small cracks every season. Repointing and surface restoration prevent water from getting behind the masonry.
Chimneys and exterior brick accents on Mead homes absorb moisture over the decades and the face of individual bricks can spall off in cold winters. We replace damaged bricks and repoint mortar to restore both the appearance and the weather resistance of the surface.
Properties in Mead often have long driveways and yards that need defined walkway paths connecting garages, outbuildings, and entries. We install concrete and paver walkways graded to drain away from the foundation and built to handle the ground movement typical of north Spokane County winters.
Mead sits about 10 miles north of downtown Spokane on land that includes basalt bedrock and rocky, sandy loam soil. When you dig for footings or anchor points in this area, you can hit solid rock sooner than expected - which changes how a retaining wall or foundation repair gets built. The freeze-thaw cycle here is relentless: temperatures swing above and below freezing dozens of times between November and March, and every cycle opens existing cracks a little wider. Concrete flatwork, foundation walls, and chimney mortar all take a beating year after year.
Most homes in Mead were built between the 1970s and early 2000s on larger lots with crawl spaces or partial basements - the ranch and split-level styles common to that era of suburban north Spokane County development. At 25 to 50 years old, original concrete and masonry elements on these homes are often past the point where maintenance alone keeps up with the damage. Spring snowmelt adds pressure: when the ground is still frozen underneath and surface snow melts, water has nowhere to drain and can saturate soil around foundations. A contractor who understands this specific combination of soil, climate, and building stock will size and build repairs correctly the first time.
Our crew works throughout Mead regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect masonry work here. We pull permits for structural work through Spokane County Building and Planning, which handles permits for unincorporated areas including Mead. Most residential retaining walls and structural masonry work in this area falls under county jurisdiction rather than any city building department.
The Division Street and Highway 2 corridor connects Mead to Spokane, and we know the neighborhoods off those routes well - from the subdivisions closer to town to the larger lots near Mount Spokane State Park. Homes on the north end of Mead tend to sit on more uneven ground, which means drainage and slope management come up more often on those jobs. We plan for rock when excavating because that is what the basalt bedrock here regularly delivers.
We also serve Deer Park, WA, just north of Mead along Highway 395, where similar soil and climate conditions apply to masonry work. If you are between communities or on the boundary, we cover the full corridor.
Reach out by phone or through the contact form and we will respond within 1 business day. We schedule site visits around your availability, including early morning or Saturday appointments for working households.
We visit the site, assess soil and drainage conditions, and note any basalt or rock that may affect excavation. You receive a written, itemized estimate with no obligation - no vague ranges, just a clear scope and price.
We handle all required Spokane County permits before starting structural work. The crew arrives on the scheduled date, keeps the site clean, and communicates daily on progress - you do not need to be home while work is underway.
When the work is finished, we walk the site with you to confirm everything was completed as agreed. We answer questions about maintenance and are available by phone if anything comes up after we leave.
We serve Mead and north Spokane County - free estimates, written quotes, and replies within 1 business day.
(509) 418-0412Mead is an unincorporated community in Spokane County, sitting about 10 miles north of downtown Spokane along the Division Street and Highway 2 corridor. It is defined largely by the Mead School District, one of the larger districts in eastern Washington, which serves a wide stretch of north county families. The area has a suburban and semi-rural character - residential lots tend to be larger than closer-in Spokane neighborhoods, and many properties back up to open land or wooded terrain. The housing stock is mostly single-family homes built from the 1970s through the early 2000s, including ranch-style and split-level designs on concrete crawl space foundations.
The community attracts families looking for more space without leaving the Spokane metro area. Proximity to Mount Spokane State Park - a year-round recreation destination for skiing, hiking, and camping - gives the area an outdoors character that residents value. Many households commute south to Spokane for work, keeping the north county character intact. Nearby communities include Spokane, WA to the south and Nine Mile Falls, WA to the west, both of which we also serve.
