"Natures Creations transformed our backyard into a gorgeous oasis. They took what was an ugly outdated patio and created a beautiful area where we are proud to gather with family and friends. We have received countless compliments on the pavers and the incredible transformation of our outdoor living space. We cannot say enough about Cary and his crew. They are not only dependable but the attention to detail and commitment to making our vision become a reality is truly amazing! We are so grateful to this team and their workmanship. I highly recommend Natures Creations to anyone who wants to create a beautiful outdoor living space that will be the envy of all of your friends. Thank you Cary and team!!!"

"Luis and his team did a great job and helping us paint and fix up our deck. We did have to ask Luis to intervene with some of his workers on an important aspect of the job to make sure it was completed, which he did, and he made sure himself that the project was completed per agreement. I recommend him warmly, he will get the job done."

"The company and the work performed were more than excellent. Not only was the outcome for the work beyond reproach, but the cleanup and restoration of the areas crossed to complete the work was restored also. The sod and the preinstall work done provided a quick and almost immediate improvement to the property. I would definitely recommend Lamar and the company to anyone who is looking for landscaping and tree work."

"I want to recognize three young men who recently completed our basement work through Groundworks: Matt, Taylore, & Gavin. The work was thorough, clearly explained, & the finished product looks excellent. But the biggest positive was the crew. They worked incredibly hard every day on a physically demanding, messy job, yet remained professional, disciplined, & respectful. They took great care of our home, kept debris contained, & cleaned up afterward. Matt took time to explain the full system to us & went above & beyond to help replace insulation that had fallen, even though it wasn't part of the job. Taylore & Gavin were equally helpful, helping us salvage & store shelving materials and remove a few stubborn pieces we couldn't manage ourselves. I'm genuinely impressed by their work ethic, attitude, & pride in doing the job right. I would absolutely recommend Groundworks, but especially these three young men. They represented the company exceptionally well!"

"I hired Mason and his crew to remodel my bathroom and it looks amazing! They are professional, polite and get the job done right. The communication was great and I couldn't be happier with the work that they did. Mason will save you money and make sure the process as well as workmanship is done right! A must hire!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.

Unless you’ve worked in the masonry industry before, it is in your best interest if you hire a pro for any masonry needs. Masonry-related jobs require a high skill level and can be extremely time-consuming. If anything goes wrong, a licensed and insured masonry contractor would be able to take care of the subsequent repairs, giving you additional peace of mind.

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.
