What type of rock is best for landscaping?

• <div><p>The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your needs. If you want to build an affordable driveway, consider gravel. If you want an aesthetically pleasing patio, you can’t go wrong with flagstone. If you’re building a water feature, consider river rock as the base. Start by figuring out your landscaping project, then choose the best rock for that project. </p></div>

Q: What does discolored brick mean?

• <div><p>Discoloration ondifferent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-bricks.htm">types of brick</a> 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. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between river rock and landscape rock?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does the brick need to be cleaned before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner. </p></div>

Q: Can I cut used or reclaimed bricks?

• <div><p>Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Stone Restoration Company never called and missed both appointments. I called them and they told me the 1st available appointment was 1 month away after missing the 1st two appointments. I'm stunned at the lack of professionalism. Also, the refund that I requested has still not been returned.

The hardscape around the pool was great. Basically, they cemented the existing flagstones instead of having patches of grass and dirt around the pool. If the work stopped there, I would give them an A. Then they removed the brown lawn on the side of the house, created a drip system for the...
