"The best! Had a follow up appointment with Groundworks after the installation of foundation support posts in 2021 - the posts were still perfectly perpendicular and nothing moved or shifted at all. Very impressed with the service, Ben was thorough and he was on time, very professional, polite and made sure to answer all my questions. He gave me a quote for future work that needs to be done, wasn’t pushy, didn’t lie, just presented the facts, and showed me what he was talking about and why it needed to be completed. He presented several options that could fit with our budget. Couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend!!"

"When I requested bids for replacing my old timber retaining wall for my wife's garden, I received 4 bids. Up North was neither the lowest bid or the highest bid. However, it was the most detailed bid, and the competing bids weren't even close to the detail that i received from Bryce. I am a retired accountant/capital investment analyst, so that was very important to me in my decision. I knew exactly what I was getting if I went with Bryce. When it comes to performance, Bryce and his crew were excellent! Hard-working, skilled, and on time, every day! The garden wall is beautiful! My wife loves it! Then when the wall itself was completed, they seeded and made the surrounding area better than it was before! What more can I say? Up North Hardscapes is "top shelf" in every respect!

"I highly recommend Lenâ s company Trilite. The process of replacing my brick with stone veneer went so smoothly. Since Trilite was the manufacturer and the installer in my project, I was able to choose from a myriad of stone and colors. The quality and workmanship of the masons was above and beyond what I expected. The stone is beautiful and it was all done in a timely manner and at a fair price. For stone veneer this is the place!!"

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.

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.

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.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.
