"Claire was the landscape architect that I worked with. She put together a plan with a large variety of shade loving plants that would bloom from spring through fall. She was great about including work I had already done on my own and suggested some enhancements to it which rounded out what I had started. She coordinated the patio and pathway project with the stonemason and the creation of our unique potting shed with the carpenter. Since our work was completed last fall this spring has been a joy to see the plan come to life. It is everything I had hoped for. I learned so much about what was planted from Claire's expert advice. I enjoy gardening and was apprehensive about utilizing a landscape firm but in the end I believe that Claire and the team at A to Z created my garden oasis in a few weeks, in what would have taken me years to envision, saving me money in buying the plants that work in our space. I give them my highest recommendation."

"Once again, Dave and crew did a wonderful job at our property. Their masonry work is outstanding. As before, they went above and beyond what was needed, including extra weeding, leaf-blowing, and asphalt fix, with impeccable clean up of everything. We were especially pleased with our new LED outdoor lighting. The installation was perfect, we did not have to adjust the placement of any lights; we are also thrilled to see almost no increase in our electric bill. Our new plants (>100 installed) are all healthy and doing well. Thanks to Dave and his team, our property looks fantastic and ready for summer entertaining!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they’ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You’d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won’t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.

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.

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.
