"Appreciated their services so much - we confidently used them twice! We utilized Alpha Foundations in 2023 for the repair of a segment of our house that had a faltering foundation. We are utilizing them again in 2024 for the installation of a encapsulation system under our crawlspace. They were friendly, honest, and professional. Thank you to Johnny and Jacob for the great inspections and to Keith, Migue, Matt, Antione, and Jacob for the excellent execution. We are happy to to have a stable foundation once again!"

"It’s a pleasure to write this review of C & L Landscaping. Our property was once an eyesore with no curb appeal, no usable living space, and an uprooted driveway. Now, it’s a delight to come home to. A beautiful paver driveway, sidewalk, a new lawn and edging around thoughtful landscaping highlight the front of our house. The once overgrown backyard now boasts an incredible paver patio looking out on a serene natural area of trees and grasses. The new irrigation system will ensure the beauty of the landscape for years to come. Also reflected in this five-star review is the experience we had working with C & L. To say they were accommodating is an understatement. Each and every individual we interacted with was personable, knowledgeable, sensitive to our needs and wishes, prompt and most importantly, communicative. We couldn’t be more pleased and recommend their services to anyone contemplating landscape and/or hardscape projects."

"Tucker & his crew did an awesome job installing my fence, tearing down a couple of sheds & hauling a bunch of junk out of my yard to make it usable again. Definitely recommend TLW for all your land clearing needs. Thank you again!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

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.

Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.
