Q: When should I worry about cracks in brick walls?

• <div><p>You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven&rsquo;s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven. </p></div>

Q: Why does Europe have so much cobblestone?

• <div><p>Europe is a continent made of many individual countries with a history of city life. In these cities, dirt roads were unsanitary and often shifted.

The durable and practical paving material proved to be extremely weather-resistant. </p></div>

Q: Can you German smear over painted brick?

• <div><p>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&mdash;so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.</p></div>

Beautiful! Groundworks installed a retaining wall for a steep side of our driveway in 2009. This winter, the other side of our driveway started eroding and we called Groundworks. This week they were able to build a shorter, lower wall, matching the 7 year old wall. Then they finished off the...

It was a very busy time of the year and we were not in a rush. We loved the ideas and she seemed to really understand what I liked. When we picked up the design, someone also walked us around to see every plant or stone that was in the plan. They were very flexible and suggested areas to save...

Aaron was timely and very considerate with his plowing. Because I have a gravel driveway, he knew that he had to plow a bit higher until we got a hard freeze, so as not to displace the gravel. He showed the same consideration in the spring.
