"My backyard had a failing timber wall that the previous owner had propped up with posts, and had allowed it to lean into rapidly deteriorating shed. Jim's crew came in, removed the shed and timber wall, and also removed an intact but inadequate stone wall extending from the backyard to the street, a total distance of around 40 feet. He replaced that entire length with a beautiful split-faced masonry wall and poured a new concrete walkway to improve access to the backyard. Jim is the ultimate professional. He takes great pride in his work, loves to talk masonry and answer questions about the project, and is very transparent about pricing. The walkway was an add-on to the original project scope due to some unexpected circumstances uncovered during excavation, but he explained this at length and took photos so I could see why the additional work was required. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend his services."

"Jim and his crew did an amazing job replacing our concrete stairs. He also took the time to make some adjustments, which made the stairs look way better than the original layout. Def would recommend hiring these guys."

"I hired Adam over a year ago to build a decorative block retaining wall at my home with integrated granite steps, a stone walkway and new granite house stairs. His price was very reasonable and I was very pleased with the quality of his work. He was always attentive to my thoughts and suggestions and worked diligently to complete the project in a timely manner. He was very easy to work with and quickly helped me turn my initial idea into an end result that exceeded my expectations. My highest praise for Adam is for his commitment to customer service. Recently, about a year after completing the project, I contacted Adam about a small winter settling issue involving two steps in the walkway that he resolved quickly with no hesitation. Adam stands by his work and I do not hesitate recommending Artisan Masonry LLC."

"I had a great experience with Garcia’s Landscaping from start to finish. Phone calls were returned promptly, and they showed up exactly on time, which I really appreciated. He took the time to walk through the project with me, offering helpful advice—especially on where mulch was needed since it had been quite a while. Garcia’s took down a tree for us, created a beautiful stone path, replanted several areas, and handled a range of landscaping tasks that had been neglected for years. His team of five arrived at 8:00 AM and worked nonstop until 5:30 PM, hauling brush, rocks, and tackling everything with impressive effort and efficiency. I honestly never saw them take a break. They even climbed up onto our extremely overgrown trellis to remove thick brush—something I wasn’t sure anyone would take on, but they handled it without hesitation. Communication was excellent throughout—he kept me informed about weather and materials so there were no surprises. The entire project was completed"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

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.

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
