"We selected Hardscapes in late July 2020, and they were able to do the work in January 2021. We knew upfront they had a waiting list. They built a 70 feet long retaining wall as the existing one was railroad ties and it was failing. The new wall looks excellent. It took about a week to do, and it was rough work since it had been raining consistently. I also requested them to redo our stairs in the same area. While I should be most impressed with the wall as it is fabulous, I really love the stairs. It was excellent work. The gentlemen working were all very nice and did a great job cleaning up every day. The neighbors even complimented on how thorough they were with clean up. The owner came to the site every day staying as long as was necessary each day managing the project and reviewing work that had been done and tweaking if he thought it was needed. He was also very easy to contact and responsive if he wasn't on site. The owner appears to take pride in his work which is a very positive attribute. While he was here since we were very happy with the end product we also had him quote us on some other possible projects. In short, while there is a decent wait time, it is definitely worth it."

"They are craftsman, not pavers. They listen to what a customer is looking for and strive to achieve it. My experience with other providers was to minimize design to get the job done faster. House Outdoor Solutions' work is unique!"

"communication with the staff was pretty lousy. But once work began everything seemed good. My only issue was we were told that an inspector would come out and check work for and remove the building permit of the door, and they would send pictures of the work they did that never happened. We are still having the same problems. Plus the vapor barrier was destroyed and wanted us to pay to replace it. we thought it was new pretty much. Bottom line we never saw the inspector."

"crawlspace needed structural repairs to my wood framing and piers, an internal french drainage system to stop water intrusion, as well as installation of a 10mil floor liner to help keep moisture levels down. FD was EXTREMELY professional from my initial call and on-site appointment, to the guys doing the installation. I was kept informed throughout the entire process so there were no surprises. I HIGHLY recommend Foundation Doctor for any crawlspace work!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Steve & his team did an excellent job updating the front beds with new shrubs & bushes, installing new beds in the backyard with trees & shrubs, and installing patio stone. The quality of the work and materials used was outstanding. Once they started the job, they stayed until everything was completed. Many neighbors stopped by complimenting the work and wanting to know who did it. I definitely recommend A & A Landesigns for any landscaping needs."

"I hired ACEncio Concrete for a colored stamped patio. Before the project started they were informative and responsive on the phone. They were helpful in our color selection and up front about pricing. When the project was to begin, a rain storm came through and they rescheduled for the nearest clear day. The day work began they were prompt and got right to work. The job was completed as scheduled, and they came back as needed to finish the concrete work and the yard clean-up. They replaced any damaged sod, and left the yard as clean as they found it. The finished patio is remarkable! The color is beautiful and the workmanship is top notch. I highly recommend them."

"Universal Concrete Services was a pleasure to work with. The crew was here on time and ready to work. They reviewed the scope of work with me and kept me informed of the progress throughout the job. The men worked as a team and completed the job without any issues. They cleaned up the worksite area and I was very pleased with both the quality of their work and the cost of the project. I would highly recommend Jeff and his team at Universal Concrete Services."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Real stone is exactly what it sounds like: It’s real stone sourced from the earth without additives. It is durable and unique, but it’s difficult to work with because of its weight, challenge in sourcing, and high cost. Stone veneer mimics the look of real stone but is actually engineered with a mixture of Portland cement, natural minerals, and a colorant. While it’s more affordable and easier to work with, it’s less durable and may appear manufactured to the trained eye.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls
