"The Royal Landscaping crew installed a brick patio at our house in Centerville this past weekend. Valber was extremely professional and courteous, which set him apart from some of the other companies that came to give us an estimate. Throughout the process from estimating costs to coordinating material deliveries and installing the patio, Valber was responsive and easy to communicate with. He and his staff did a fantastic job installing the patio and completed the job ahead of schedule. These guys do not mess around. After they finished the job, they cleaned up the site, even going above and beyond to remove some other debris left from a smaller project I'd tackled earlier. The patio looks great and feels solid. Valber and his team are hard-working and courteous. Given the quality of the work, the fair pricing, and the professional team that came in to tackle the project, I would strongly recommend Royal Landscaping to anyone looking for landscaping or hardscaping services."

"It was following a storm. I had one tree down and 3 other large portions of trees down. They came, surveyed the needs, gave me a price, and came when they were able. They have been doing my fall clean up for a number of years. I did not know they also do tree removal. I am very happy with their work."

"Asphalt Solutions did an excellent job! They provided a free on-sight quote, which helps greatly with budgeting the project. The final project looks great, so much so that several neighbors hired them on the spot! Thanks for every Drew, it was a pleasure doing business with you. ~Eric"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You should worry about brick wall cracks when they are wide and growing, or in a horizontal or stair-step pattern. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other signs of structural stress. In these cases, a foundation specialist should inspect your home.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.
