"I had used Conrad's company in the past and knew he had good, experienced employees and that the work would be done properly.  This job from the beginning was going to be sizable and was to involve just the back yard and side yard areas with the patio flagstone work to be the biggest part of the job.  When I saw how good Gonzalo, one of the excellent masons Conrad used, I decided to enlarge the flagstone work to include the backyard sidewalk area done in the same style as the patio.  Conrad was able to give me a good price and we added that job to the project.  As the work progressed, I was able to see the quality of the work being done and I decided to included the front yard in the overall renovation and I did not regret my decision.  And once again Conrad gave me good, competitive pricing and it made my decision the expand the job easier.  I had many opportunities to see his employees at work and Phillip, working the irrigation and various plumbing jobs, was excellent and fantastic work was done by the brothers Gilbert and Able who worked long and hard, in the heat and on Saturdays to ensure I was pleased with the outcome of all the projects I had going at one time.  I changed plants and trees and locations, added flagstone for steps, adjusted irrigation lines and generally made several major changes to my original idea and never once did Conrad balk at giving me what I wanted. Conrad and his employees were always pleasant to be around, always answered my questions and showed me what they were doing or intended to do, all the time.  If I requested a special activiity or option I could be certain it would be done.  The finished landscaping is terrific and I'm very happy I had it done and happier even that Conrad was given the job.  I especially remember one email we exchanged near job's end when I made reference to a tree which to be changed out.  I don't know what I expected, but Conrad told me he would work to make me happy "until the end".  He did all of that and more.  Thank you , Conrad and Gilbert and Able and Phillip and Gonzalo and all the rest of the crew  who worked so hard giving me the yard I have wanted for decades.

"Francisco and his crew did a wonderful job on my cinderblock wall. He responded promptly to my request for a quote, not just one quote, but a quote for repairing and rebuilding. We went with the repair, but he pretty much rebuilt the wall! His team completed the job in less than two days. Their clean up looked better than when they arrived. I cannot say enough good things about Camberos Masonry. Thank you, Francisco!"

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.

Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

Cobblestone can be made from many different types of stones but the most common ones, by far, are granite, basalt, limestone, and sandstone.  If you are laying a brick paver patio or other such project, the medium is different. It’s rare, but cobblestone can also be made from marble, slate, jasper, and other types of rock. Technically, you can make cobblestone from almost any type of rock, but if it is weather-resistant and stands the test of time is another question entirely.

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.
