"The owner Robert worked with us to design the patio, listened to our concerns and made modifications along the way. The crew, led by Angel, worked very hard and were very professional. The patio turns out really beautiful. Robert sticks to the original estimate although we changed the straight line to a curved line in some areas. We added a lot more sitting benches which were quoted by length and was honored. A couple of extra natural stone pieces were added at the end, which added "character" to the patio (although unplanned), and I appreciate the creativity."

"Nicolas has done lots of stonework for us, including retainer walls, walkways, a beautiful stone patio with a gas fire pit and landscape lighting along the walls and seating area. He and his crew always arrived on the job early and ready to work. Nicolas was always here to work along with his crew and to oversee the job. He is a man of his word and makes sure that you are happy with the work. We recently had a bad storm to knock out several of our landscape lights, so I reached out to Nicolas and he made time to come out and check things out. After a few weeks, he came and replaced the bulbs that were damaged. We always know that he is just a text or phone call away and doesn’t hesitate to continue providing his best service to us."

"The project was handled very professionally from start to finish. Communication from the company was always timely and clear. Alan’s attention to detail made for a great outcome. In addition to the retaining wall, Alan spruced up the old gravel walkways in front of the new wall. We are thrilled with the result and recommend Alan and Landmark Design Landscaping without reservation."

"We really enjoyed working with David Weeks from 2D Professionals, LLC. David and his men did a great job laying pavers for a patio and installing footing for patio cover. We were kept informed during the process and are happy with their work. We would certainly recommend 2D Professionals, LLC."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.

The premise for painting a brick building is fairly simple: Prime the bricks to seal the surface and apply the top coat to protect your brick home. However, it’s easy to miss a few important steps if you’re starting from a raw brick surface and don’t know the basics of how to paint brick. So be sure to reach out to a local professional painter if you have any reservations about correctly painting your brick house.

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.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.
