They did everything just right, every step of the way! Their attention to detail was exceptional, and everyone on the crew was too!
I actually had two phases of concrete, and they were consistently amazing all the way through, from the start to the finish!
Pick David Morris Concrete! You will be glad you did!!"

"We had a great experience with Advanced Pavers. From the initial meeting with Lacy who designed our project and offered her professional input, Caleb the project manager, Temo and his entire crew. You can tell how much pride everyone takes in their work. Edgar, the owner, came by every day to check on the job and answer any questions we had. We are so happy how great the pavers look, our driveway, walkway and stairway with the added lights on the steps. It looks even better than we possibly imagined. We highly recommend Advanced Pavers."

"Richard at Renaissance Stoneworks came recommended from another mason who vouched for his work. It was such a nice experience working with Richard. Heâ s quiet and confident, thorough and careful. He truly cares about the work heâ s doing. I got the feeling it mattered as much to him as it did to me. He repaired the floor of my 16-year-old wood pizza oven . The original floor had gotten cracked from so many years of heating and contracting, Richard Made the repairs and gave good advice to ensure the longevity of the new floor. I would recommend renaissance stonework for any fireplace masonry."

"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!"
The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3each.
Brick stain doesn’t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That’s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.
Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.
A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.
Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues.
