"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."

"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."

"The project of replacing our 25 yr old railroad tie retaining walls and stairs with stone came out better than we could have imagined. The owners and workers respected our concerns for our mature trees. Instead of machines tearing up our lawn, they hand dug the wall trenches. Each night they perfectly cleaned up the work site, our driveway, and the staging area in our circle. It was a unique experience and was much appreciated. They men were all very polite. We highly recommend this company."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.

Yes, as long as the cut is clean and the brick remains structurally sound, you can reuse it. Reusing brick is especially common for landscaping, edging, and small masonry repairs. Just make sure to file down any sharp edges before handling or installing it.
