"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 was referred to WCD Masonry by a company whom I initially called for an estimate on our block wall that was leaning. The company happened to serve only areas in Orange County. Since I live in Los Angeles County , they referred me to WCD Masonry. William was professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to work with him. He takes time to explain the details on what needs to be done to make the repair strong and lasting. His craftsmanship was beautiful and finished on time. I am happy that our block wall looks great again! Thank you, William!"

"WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND SAM AND HIS CREW FOR MASONRY WORK, WE HAD THE PREVIOUS SEALER REMOVED FROM OUR EXISTING PAVERS IN OUR OUTSIDE ENTRYWAY AND ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE REMOVAL WAS VERY LABOR INTENSIVE AND SAM WAS ON TIME EVERY DAY UNTIL COMPLETED. SAM IS VERY CONSCIENTIOUS AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL THE WORK MEETS HIS HIGH STANDARDS. ONCE THE OLD SEALER WAS REMOVED, HE APPLIED THE NEW SEALER AND WE CAN HONESTLY SAY IT LOOKS BETTER THAN BRAND NEW!! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE CONTACTING CSM FOR FUTURE MASONRY WORK!"

"Thanks for the good job. Flagstone patio installed across 2,050 sq. ft., including pathways to garden beds. They leveled stones and ensured an even transition between levels. The layout has enough space for seating, walking, and dining while blending naturally with the landscape."

"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.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.
