"Dave did an excellent job repairing the brick facade on our old 1930s home. He was professional, responsive, flexible with our timing, and the results were better than I expected. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of masonry work!"
"Davis Morris Concrete Construction did an excellent job on my 1,200+ sq ft concrete driveway and walkway. The crew was punctual and showed up early every day, stayed organized, and kept the site clean. David was extremely responsive, answered all my questions, and offered smart options when decisions came up. This project was a cleanup from a previous contractor’s poor prep work, and David stepped in and completed the job the right and professional way. Quality workmanship, clear communication, and attention to detail throughout. I’d confidently recommend David and his crew to anyone looking for reliable concrete work."
"Very easy to work with. The team did and outstanding job - quick, efficient and left the area pristine when the project was completed. I had been looking for someone to help with a small front yard patio and stucco wall for years to no avail. Once I spoke with Advanced Pavers it was a go! The outcome is exactly as I had envisioned and I am extremely pleased!"

"D & L Landscaping is truly the best company we have ever hired to do work improvement for concrete and stone. First, they are all the most professional, kind, hardworking, men I have ever dealt with. First, they used a tractor to dig and make it perfect and level, then they poured the cement. The cement work they do is beautiful! They put stone in the side of it, also, which was equally beautiful! They came back and pressure washed the old driveway and made it look like new. All of my neighbors are calling to hire them! I have never had so many people ask for a business card for them! This company does top of the line work for extremely exceptional prices. They are all polite, kind, and on time! I am so grateful for Angi’s List. If it wasn’t for Angi’s, I wouldn’t have discovered this 5 star company D&L landscaping. So thank you D&L landscaping, and thank you to Angi’s List!"
"From quote to finish everything felt right about Western Concrete Designs. They accommodated us to come out for a quote and politely followed up without pressure! We immediately knew they were different! The quote beat the competition by a mile and after seeing the final project and how efficient and hardworking the team was—we still can’t believe our luck. Our backyard is more than we could have asked for—it is truly transformed -and gorgeous. We have recommended them to all our friends!"
It’s called cobblestone because it’s made of stones that are “cobbed” together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes.
Staining or painting brick isn’t something to do on a whim. Make sure you really want to live with stained brick, because once you apply the stain, it’s permanent. Sure, it will fade over time, but you can’t restore the brick to its natural tones after applying a stain or paint.
It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.
The best way to clean creosote from brick is to hire a professional chimney sweep. However, you can use a creosote log to remove excess buildup between cleanings. You can also clean minor creosote buildup using dish soap or vinegar mixed with water.
