"Don showed up on time for the estimate, quoted a fair and reasonable price and time line. Don's crew showed up promptly on the day he said he would start and completed the work the day he said it would be completed. I did masonry when I was younger so I know quality Masonry work when I see it. Don also took care of some things that were neglected by the original Masonry company that built this wall decades ago. When I have another job Don Hill Masonry, will be my first call. If your reading this review he should be your first call."

"The job was simple; repair 30 feet of blown down fence, but he did a great job from berginning to end. He responded quickly, was on time, worked hard and efficiently resulting in quality work. I plan to hire him again."

"I used Oakden to renew my landscaping. I didn?t have a huge budget and needed a lot of work. They did a lot to get my yard ?healthy,? fixing the grading, drainage, erosion, stumps, dead trees, and the list goes on? I feel caught up on about a decade of deferred maintenance. Then they got it really tidy and fresh with fantastic rock work and mulch, and a great flagstone patio. It was very little effort on my part. They 100% delivered on what I was hoping for with not a lot of direction. It was super easy to get scheduled. Everyone was professional and courteous. They worked quickly and communicated well. Can not recommend enough. They raised the value of my entire block. Thank you!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

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.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.
