"Before this work, this was an unsightly gravel area that drained toward the house foundation. This new paver path design and construction significantly improved the house's appearance, the area's usefulness, and drainage. I am very impressed by the technical insight and professionalism of the representative who visited our home and presented a design with a thorough estimate. The team that built the path was hard-working, and the team leader was attentive to getting the work technically correct. He was also responsive to questions and concerns. Based on this experience, I highly recommend Limitless Landscaping."

"Our experience in a new home with mold spores was extremely frustrating. With the uniqueness of our crawl space we were uncertain to what the best solution would be and Groundworks help this resolve our issue. Luis Vasquez, Sa Aung, and Emanuel Valdez where the tradesmen that showed up to perform the work. They were very professional and willing to overcome the obstacles that our project enveloped. They were very positive and knowledgeable the entire time and they took great pride and care in the work that they did. I would highly recommend them for any job that I had to do."

"Level up Construction and Landscaping were GREAT!!! My back yard has been transformed. They care about their work and want the customer to be happy with everything once the job is done. When a problem/consent came up, they fixed it very quickly. Would recommend Jeremy and his crew to anyone. They recommended extra stuff which made the job even better than expected. Did not try to sell unwanted, unneeded items. It was up to me if I wanted the extra or not. Would us them again in a heartbeat."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.

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.

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.
