"We hired Silverstone Landscaping at the beginning of summer to install Trek decking in our side/backyard. They were very efficient, followed installation procedures, and were very pleasant to work with. The most impressive is how organized they were, Silvia and his workers were on time daily and put in a solid days work. They also offered their opinions and ideas to make the deck’s appearance more appealing. We would continue to higher Silverstone Landscaping for all of our future outdoor needs."

"Jorge of JP Build LLC was outstanding to work with. Understood my request and asked pertinent questions to ensure the job was done correctly. They were prompt in everything they did. Communication was outstanding! He took the time to text, call, send photos and video of the job when he completed. We live in Idaho and trusted his company to complete the job in CA for my elderly mom. We highly recommend JP Build LLC and will not hesitate to use them again."

"The pro underbid the job. Still, he said he would take the loss. I asked him to look at receipts and we covered the extra materials. In the end the job was still lower than the other bids and accomplished on time. We replaced a failed TREX deck with concrete. The plastic decking had become soft, and flexed enough when walking on it that it became a trip hazard. There were two experienced and hard working crew. the younger relative was learning the paperwork, bidding and scheduling end of the job. The crew let him learn by experience and did not complain about his mistakes. The job was expertly done. Recent rains show that there are no low spots and everything is almost imperceptivity sloped to drain the surfaces into areas I had identified. All the work was done on time and all the demolition materials were stack out of the way and job site clean up was done daily. I am truly a satisfied customer."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.

The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between $15 and $30 per linear foot. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing $25 to $50 per linear foot. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.

Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay.

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.
