Q: What building materials are used in Neoclassical architecture?

• <div><p>Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles.

Q: Should a driveway apron be concrete or asphalt?

• <div><p>Both <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">concrete and asphalt</a> are appropriate for your driveway apron. The choice often comes down to local laws and the current material of your driveway.

Q: Can you grind concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grind concrete by hand, but it&rsquo;s typically known as sanding concrete when done with a hand grinder.

Q: What if there is standing liquid on my concrete?

• <div><p>If there is standing liquid on your concrete, remove it before attempting any of the above cleaning methods. For small amounts of water, use rags, a bucket, and a mop. For larger areas of liquid, lay down cat litter or baking soda to soak up the water first. If you have extremely large pools of water sitting on your concrete, break out the wet vac and get to work.</p></div>

Job was to install brick coping around a free-form pool and re-point existing patio (concrete pavers) into the coping. The quality is excellent. Visually, it's so much better that what it replaces. There was a lot of labor here as every brick and paver needed to be cut to fit. That said, the...

"M&L Landscaping Construction is absolutely incredible! You will not regret hiring Leo and his team for your project. I first hired Leo for one job, and after seeing the quality, precision, and care in his work, I immediately brought him back for a second. The first project included pavers, a retaining wall with built-in seating, a garden bed, patio/paver installation, fence installation, and a composite deck with stairs. The second project was for my rental property and involved an insurance claim to repair the facade of the house. That work included installing stone veneers on the front of my home, constructing a new deck with a roof, building a stone wall with fencing, and completing a blacktop driveway. What truly sets M&L apart is not just the beauty and craftsmanship of their work, but the professionalism, organization, and integrity behind it. Leo’s team is respectful of your property, punctual, and incredibly hardworking. They take pride in what they do and it shows in every detail—from layout precision to cleanup after completion. Equally impressive is how Leo manages the business side of things. He’s communicative, transparent, and extremely reliable—qualities that are rare to find in the contracting world. He provides clear timelines, fair pricing, and proactive updates, so you always know where things stand. Having worked with many contractors over the years, I can confidently say that M&L Landscaping Construction is top-notch from start to finish. I was so impressed that I even referred my parents for their driveway paver installation—and, just as expected, it came out beautiful. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and professional landscaping and construction team, hire M&L Landscaping Construction. You’ll be glad you did!"
