"Bruce was super friendly and went the extra mile in helping us get a warranty replacement hot water heater. Rheem wanted to just replace the elements but Bruce took pictures to show them it was more than just faulty elements. He took care of all the communication with Rheem and Home Depot. Thanks to him we got a replacement hot water heater under the warranty. It was installed on time and all the work was done in a professional manner. We will definitely use Drainco for all future needs."

"I would highly recommend About All A+ Yardwork. I had a drainage issue in my side yard and not only is this problem solved but his bid was very reasonable for the amount of work done. Once the job was completed it looked like this was always there. I will recommend him to all of my friends and neighbors for any landscaping work they may need. I would hire him again without any reservations."

"I had a great experience with this NRMS, LLC. They painted the exterior of my house, cleaned and sealed my roof, and remodeled my bathrooms. Everything came out beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The crew was professional, hardworking, and respectful of my home. They kept the work area clean and finished the job on time. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality work."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.

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.

A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.

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.
