"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!"

"I wanted to put large plant pots out in my front yard on either side of my window. The current landscaping was ugly and full of weeds. These pavers are beautiful and makes the front look nice and organized."

"This contractor was able to pour the concrete slabs for me as well as build a 30 x 26’ garage. Everything was to our standards and took time, but it came out great matching her house. The entire crew and management was very respectful and kind. I plan on using them again in the future for my future projects, pouring concrete and gazebo patio build."

"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."

"Hired Florida Crete to build a 28x40 building foundation with stem wall at 12" to 36" over 40' run. Mr Diaz and his crew are probably the most hard working men I have ever hired for a project. They were all about contructing to my satisfaction. The completed project was perfectly square. Thanks again to Florida Crete for a very well done job. 5 STARS"

"Holiday's did an excellent job overhauling my front flower beds, which had become too much for me to handle. After establishing my needs and wants, they produced a low-maintenance design and detailed proposal in a timely manner, and they responded quickly to my questions. The job itself involved removing large, pest-ridden shrubs and palms, including all their root systems, and replacing them with various succulents. After re-laying the irrigation system, they set the plants off with coquina boulders and crushed coquina. They also included two large colourful pots with perennials, which were connected to the irrigation system. The crew worked hard, and the supervisor knows his plants. Overall, I'm very happy with my new-look front yard (the neighbors like it, too). I can recommend Holiday's as a reliable and knowledgeable landscaper."

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.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

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.
