"We have had the pleasure of working with Robert and Aplin Masonry Designs, Inc. on multiple projects, and the results have always exceeded our expectations. Robert and his team installed beautiful rockwork on the exterior of our home and patios, enhancing the overall look and quality of our property. Most recently, he covered our entire fireplace, and the transformation is absolutely stunning. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism are truly top-notch. If you’re looking for high-end masonry work, I highly recommend Robert and Aplin Masonry Designs, Inc."

"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."

"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.

"Taveras Custom Landscaping build our side garden retaining wall and a side entrance way. Paulina was prompt, willing to discuss the project and listen to our concerns. The project was completed in a timely manner and the project area was always cleaned at end of each day. We have plans to have this company complete the front entrance way of our home in the future."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. 

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.

You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.
