"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."

"I was looking for someone to repair the grout on our flagstone patio. Anthony called us quickly to set up a time for him to see the job. He came over and looked at the job and let us know what he thought would be the best way to repair it. We got his bid with in a couple of days. We were very impressed by his knowledge and his price. He did a great job taking out the old grout and putting the new grout to match the rest of the patio. I would definitely recommend him. It’s nice to see someone who takes pride in their job! Thank you Anthony"

His design instincts are outstanding—he has a great sense of how to bring a space to life. Chris and his crew were polite, efficient, and respectful from start to finish. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are clear in every part of the project. It was truly a pleasure having Chris around, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space with creativity and quality."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.
