"First the problem was identified. I thought I had only 1 crack, but I was only seeing the "relief" crack. The big crack in the foundation was hidden behind wood paneling. The work was done to fix the cracks & provide proper foundation drainage. Because the main crack was around part of the basement window casing, at my request, they replaced the window. Also @ my request, they replaced my sump pump (which was about 20 years old). The work was very professional. They were prompt, thorough, very neat; the work was done in about 2 & 1/2 days.  Everything was explained to me. The added work was my idea, not something even brought up or "pushed" by the company. When the problem was identified, all possible solutions were discussed. I was very pleased with the work done. It has been a year and a half since the work was completed, and my basement is dry, the cracks remain sealed, and I have a very nice looking new basement window.

"Here’s a polished version you can use for a review or post: Frankie’s Landscaping did an outstanding job rebuilding my retaining wall. Their crew showed up ready to work and immediately got started removing the old wall and carefully leveling the area before the rebuild. The attention to detail and professionalism really stood out throughout the entire process. The finished wall looks fantastic and was done right the first time. Top-notch work—I highly recommend Frankie’s Landscaping!"

"Veneer Building Stone was applied to our home foundation and surrounding front and back porches. Porch surfaces were overlaid with cement and a pattern was applied. A portion of the driveway apron was removed and new was installed to replace the damaged section, and the front sidewalk was resurfaced. All work was done to our satisfaction. The workmen were craftsmen, reliable, and trustworthy. This project improved the appearance of our home and is value added. We recommend Madison County Custom Concrete to those wanting quality masonry work."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

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.

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.
