"I never really used any local crawl space specialist innthe greater910 area. So I priced around and got some estimates with basically all the crawl space companies to include individual folks on thumbtack. My final reach out was to Koons, and I spoke with the man himself, Mr. Koons, and let me tell youâ ¦.not only is this guy beyond knowledgeable, but heâ s responsive and their work is timely, but most importantly heâ s honest, which is beyond rare these days. His honesty smoked out the competitors estimates, and then he lapped them. Which competitors exactly, well all of them, google anyone in the 910 area that does this kind of work and he crushed them. He saved my family over 6 thousand dollars in costly repairs. On top of saving a couple future mortgage payments or braces for kids, the job looked way better than before, and better than what Iâ ve seen in most new homes. Donâ t go with some big company thatâ s not only going to nickel and dime you, and take you to the bank for more, go with this cat, his integrity and work ethic are worth it alone. I donâ t know if you can tell by my review, but I highly recommend them, theyâ re my go to now."

"After a really frustrating experience with another contractor who took our deposit and disappeared for two weeks without doing any work, we were honestly stressed and unsure who to trust next. I found LEA Concrete LLC this morning, reached out, and within hours they were already on-site. Not only did they show up the same day—they completed the entire job that afternoon. The difference in professionalism was night and day. They communicated clearly, showed up when they said they would, and delivered clean, high-quality work with zero delays. If you’re looking for a reliable, responsive, and professional concrete company, I highly recommend LEA Concrete LLC. They truly stepped up when we needed it most."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Brick stain doesn’t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That’s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.

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.

Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. 

You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it’s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you’ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.
