"Jose Garcia, the owner of JRG Masonry, did an excellent job on repairing my brick wall and planter box. He is very professional and is an expert at doing his job. He has over 30 years experience in the masonry business. Jose is very honest and came right over to my home on the day that I called him to give me a quote of how much this project would cost me. Since he has so much experience in his field, he knew that the bricks in my wall and planter were no longer manufactured. Because my bricks have a pattern on them, that cannot be replaced, Jose figured out how he could reuse some of the bricks that were hidden from sight and replace them with a similar brick. Since Jose is so professional, he re-enforced the parts of the wall that he repaired even though the people who built the original wall had not supported it the proper way. Jose started and finished repairing my wall and planter on the day after I called him. With his experience in brick work, he finished the job in less than 5 hours. It was a job that I thought would take more than a day. When he left, he had cleaned everything up and my wall and planter looked fantastic. O. P. Johnson Huntington Beach, CA"

"It went amazing. Robert came out and did a free quote and was on the job 2 days later. We had work done by the wrong people and Robert and his crew came out and fixed what the other company did wrong and completed the job in only a couple days. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing hardscape, masonry work done. If we have any issues with past work we have had done or plan any upgrades in the future I will call Alpin Masonry to do the job, so that I know it will be done right."

"A portion of the block wall in my backyard was damaged by a storm. Juan Torres was prompt with an estimate and diligent with the work and cleanup. Specialty Masonry was entirely professional and I am extremely pleased."

"I contacted Sam from Chiseled Stone Masonry to repair my privacy wall. It was an emergency because my dog and the neighbors dog broke out a few of the blocks and one dog was badly bitten. Sam contacted me immediately, asked for photos and scheduled a premise visit right away. The repair was scheduled for the following Saturday, but my neighbor refused to give his consent so I had to cancel. So, technically I haven't had the work done, he was amazing and I plan to use him once my neighbor comes to his senses. Therefore, I still gave him a 5 star rating because I have faith."

"Conrad and his team at Del Mar Landscaping are great. His guys are very respectful and do excellent work at a fair price. They made sure they finished the job during a very uncertain time (Coronavirus pandemic), which is much appreciated and also made sure they cleaned up everything when they were done. Second time I've used them. Highly recommended."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.

A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.

No, it’s not recommended to attach shutters to brick without drilling. Brick is dense and built to last, so adhesives and shortcut methods don’t usually cut it. Even heavy-duty glue struggles to hold up over time—especially against wind, moisture, and temperature changes. Most no-drill options are made for materials like vinyl or wood, not solid masonry. Skipping the drill might seem easier, but it puts your shutters—and anything below them—at risk. For a secure, lasting install, drilling is the way to go. It takes more effort up front, but the result is safer and more reliable.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.

Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other common wall materials like brick, cinderblock, and concrete.
