"Davis Morris Concrete Construction did an excellent job on my 1,200+ sq ft concrete driveway and walkway. The crew was punctual and showed up early every day, stayed organized, and kept the site clean. David was extremely responsive, answered all my questions, and offered smart options when decisions came up. This project was a cleanup from a previous contractor’s poor prep work, and David stepped in and completed the job the right and professional way. Quality workmanship, clear communication, and attention to detail throughout. I’d confidently recommend David and his crew to anyone looking for reliable concrete work."
"We needed a path from the patio to the workshop on an uphill and rocky slope and a retaining wall in front between an existing walk- way and a steep slope. Luis and his crew gave us a beautiful curved walkway with wide, easily navigated steps. The front retaining wall blends seamlessly into the existing wall and walk way.
The craftsmanship is unmistakable and the cost extremely reasonable. They were all professional, thoughtful and communicated work schedules and updates - all very much appreciated. We highly recommend this company and will certainly use them for our next project."
"Their pricing was very competitive, and they did a great job laying in a block retaining wall for me. Created two tiers, graded everything flat, and cleaned area just fine. Very responsive communication by Ernie, and good customer service overall."
"I recently hired Just Stamping Concrete for a landscaping project, and I must say that I was blown away by their work. Their team is highly skilled and knowledgeable, and they truly transformed my outdoor space into a beautiful oasis."
"Our 185 ft wooden retaining wall was failing and in dire need of repair/replacement. We had asked Daniel to quote both wood and stone, both quotes were very reasonable so we opted for stone and we couldn't be happier with the results. Daniels team did a wonderful job and our neighbors are almost as happy with it as we are. D&L Landscaping is now our go-to vendor for outdoor projects and we plan on using them on some other upcoming projects in the future."
"David responded soon after I put out a request for bids for a new driveway and RV pad. He took the time to explain how the project would be done, what materials he would be using, and the results I could expect. Of the three estimates I received, David actually SOLD the job!"
"Raul is very personable and accommodating. We are very pleased with the final product, and since he is a general contractor, we will hire him again for other projects."
"Mark was great and the quality of work was excellent. Our project was completed as quoted and finished on time. In comparison to other landscaping firms we have hired, Capital City Landscape Development outshined them all."
"Stephen Borches did a great job fixing and leveling my kestone wall, after a stump grinder messed it up. Id hire him for other projects. Hard worker, shows up on time and gives you a fair price for his labor."
In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.
The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between $15 and $30 per linear foot. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing $25 to $50 per linear foot. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.
Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.
Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.
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.
