"I do not normally leave reviews but after hiring this company and seeing one bad review I decided I needed to. This is Hands down the best stone mason I have hired. They worked diligently on my front steps and my chimney. This company goes above and beyond to please it is customers as well as offering pressure washing to ensure that any repairs or remodels match the original colors. I would highly recommend springing for this as they explained to me they could match the color to the original but they could not match moss or mildew on the bricks. Just having the chimney power washed made an extreme improvement. If I had not accepted the offer for power washing the color would not have matched the black on the grout between the bricks. They explained they COULD match the black color but if I decided later to have it cleaned the repairs would stick out and that for the longevity of the repairs they would be going with the original color. They matched it perfectly! The owner, Robert Mihaly, has a lifetime of experience with stone. He is a skilled sculptor who works all over the Raliegh area. It was worth the google to see his work. His mason apprentices are always kind and professional. He had a team of young ladies come to my place and I wasnt expecting that but they were awesome! They take the time to explain everything they are going to be doing each step of the way and what to expect when they have finished. They were very detailed about the maintenance after completion, cleaned up around where they were they working as they went, continuously checked on my satisfaction, Beyond happy with this company. UPDATE 08/02/2021: Very professional team. They went above and beyond my expectations. The team fixed cracks going down the bricks on the side of my house and my front steps. I was very impressed with how they were able to restore my home to its original glory. They stayed late and they would stop to explain what they were doing anytime I asked them something and got my feedback before starting anything. The girls cleaned as they worked and were very friendly. I enjoyed watching them bring life back to my house!"
"Nicolas and team are fantastic! They created dry stacked natural stone walls across the front of our house and in the back yard. Quality of work is superb. We are so pleased, and will definitely use Nicolas Hardscapes for our next project. Thank you!"

"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.

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.
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’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.
You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.
