"I recently hired Gomez Brothers Concrete, Inc. to install a new concrete patio and fix my driveway, and I could not be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, provided a fair and transparent quote, and completed the job on schedule. The quality of their work is outstanding?my patio looks amazing, and the driveway is smooth and well-finished. They paid attention to every detail, ensuring proper drainage and a flawless finish. The crew was also very respectful of my property, cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. If you are looking for a reliable, high-quality concrete contractor, I highly recommend. They exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be using them again for future projects!"

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

"I'm so excited about our front & back yards so pardon me for rambling on but feel free to skip halfway down the post to read about the AMAZING StoneMark Hardscapes: We bought our home 4 years ago in foreclosure and the backyard was literally rotting and the eyesore of the neighborhood. My husband and I served as GCs for the entire interior and exterior work, and neighbors loved it, when we got to the back and front yards, we were financially depleted yet wanted our yard to be a show-stopper and had no idea where to turn. We called random companies throughout the city, some drew images of what they could do, others told us what they could do but the key attributes we wanted like, a fire pit, some sort of a water feature etc carried a hefty price at least by the standard of most of the contractors. We were so exasperated, frustrated and had lost all hope because by the time we finished rebuilding the house itself, we did not have enough money to work the yard of our dreams (and we didn't think having a fire pit should be that unattainable). One day the light bulb went off to go to Lurvey (google it if you don't know, yes they seem pricey but mind you we went in pretty well informed because we have already talked to to many contractors), they helped us come up with designs at a cost and recommended a couple of companies- I just thought "I'm sure we cannot afford a Lurvey-recommended contractor, no way in ****" We spoke with both companies; met one company that we weren't so sure about and then met with the owner of StoneMark Hardscapes, Inc (Pete). My husband and I were immediately taken aback, he just stood out. You could tell he has enough jobs and he is at the point where his goal is to make the client exceptionally happy. He was pleasant, laid back, jovial, positive and just genuinely excited to work with us. We discussed the yards, showed him our designs, he added some suggestions, provided paver and cost saving options and we knew without a doubt, this was our guy. His cost estimate was very fair and although I was still worried about a few added feature here and there after his estimate, he kept saying "don't worry about it, we will figure it out" which gave me a lot of comfort and we did figure it out. I had a great vibe about Pete and I was right (remember, we GC'd our entire home build-out talking to 2-3 contractors for each scope so we know when the right guy is around). Pete met us at Lurvey and we spent a lot of time selecting every single type of stone; from the pavers, seat wall, fire pit, paver trim, water feature, flagstone for the front etc. I mean, he took a lot of time out for us without rushing us. On the first day of work, him and his crew showed up on time and it felt like magic (not kidding) it felt so great seeing the bobcat, trucks and equipment ready to haul out our rotting yard. The energy between Pete and his guys was exceptional, you can tell they are happy and love working with him. One of his guys, Jose, is in my mind, The visual artist; great, amazing guy with a laser-sharp eye for precision and design. The guys were all great, worked hard and gave their all to us and our house. We have had several fires in our backyard, soooo many compliments from neighbors and knowing that we were not taken to the cleaners on price is SUCH a heartwarming feeling and I cannot recommend this company enough. I urge you, just call Pete, you will be pleased, doesn't matter how small or large your space is. Great service, great work, great prices and fair all around."

"Although it was a little tough to connect in the beginning (due to summer rush and holiday weekend), once Maria and I connected, things went very smoothly.
She came to my house, measured and provided a quote in a very timely manner.  
I had to go through my HOA, and she was quite helpful. Providing the drawings and contacting J.U.L.I.E. as required by the HOA (and even coming out a second time to get additional details requested by the HOA).
We had set a tentative installation date (pending HOA approval) and were lucky that the HOA approval was received in the nick of time and the weather held out.
The crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly all day to complete the job. When they ran out of bricks, they went back out to buy more.  Maria  was there the entire time overseeing the work.  At one point we had an issue with the level of the patio where the base of the steps and the side of the house were out of sync (huge downward slope).  She noted the issue and provided a sound recommendation which I approved. At the end of the day, they cleaned up the entire area.  They had carefully removed sod, mulch and some of my plants to install the brick patio and when they were done installing, they replaced the sod, mulch and even replanted my flowers.  Impressive!!  Everything washed up (even the handprints on the staircase) and clean.  They were also very careful with the surrounding area.  I live in a townhouse and they used wheel barrels to bring in all the materials.  They were careful not to destroy any of the common area.  This is a huge plus and greatly appreciated.  
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I highly recommend LDP.  I love my new patio - even though it is small, it adds a whole new room for me outdoors.  Wish I could add pictures, it turned out great!!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.
