We've dealt with many contractors since we owned our home, Liam, Bryan and their crew are among the best we have worked with. They were professional and reliable. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you so much!"

"AC Stoneworks were awesome! We had them build a paver patio for us. Their pricing is very reasonable and they were responsive, efficient, and friendly. They suggested some excellent ideas during the quoting phase, and were happy to make some adjustments during the work phase. Great to work with!"

"The workers were/are excellent. They were efficient, timely and are professional brick layers & masons. They removed & disposed of old material, measured, layed bricks/stones, leveled, cut stone and removed & replaced landscaping. The quality of the work done is excellent. They answered all questions and showed me everything I was curious about (in ground sprinklers). It took a while to get my project done, but it was well worth the wait. My stairs/front walkway & retaining wall are beautiful !!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.
