Q: Does limewash brick get dusty?

• <div><p>Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues. </p></div>

Q: Is rock salt corrosive?

• <div><p>Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. </p></div>

Q: What causes mortar deterioration?

• <div><p>Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.</p></div>

Q: Are brick houses more durable?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a local mason?

• <div><p>Always work with <a href="http://www.angi.com/nearme/masonry/">licensed and certified masons in your area</a> when installing a stone wall or even a stone veneer. Just like all home designers, they should provide an impressive portfolio and offer a free estimate for the project. Pick the pro who fits your budget and schedule and, most importantly, helps you realize your landscape vision. </p></div>

Work was excellent and they let me make choices o the stone/brick for my chimney rebuild that turned out to be the best match of my old limestone at a much lower cost.

The cut is OK. Reliable service. Price is very reasonable at $45 per cut. It takes them about 1 hour to cut and trim our yard. Small beef is that they occasionally pull up landscaping stones and have to be reminded to put them back. They broke a storm drain cover, which is all of $8, but...

We had called several landscaping firms to get a retaining wall built. Doug was the first contractor that my husband thought was personable and would do a good job. Then things went bad. My husband was helping Doug and one of his employees move gravel and hit one of Doug's tools laying on...

I had been wanting the retaining wall for about 2 years, but the estimates I was receiving was a little scary (like $5,000). I contacted Jared with Aftermath Landscaping, he came over that day and gave me a very affordable estimate. I bought the large 17"W X 8"H blocks, gravel, and caps for...

The project started off okay, but we raised concerns within a couple days when there seemed to be no plan (after repeated attempts to get a picture of the patio and landscape beds, we gave up). Also, there were never more than 2 workers at our house any given day, and they were working...
