"My first experience with masonry repair, so all I can tell you is that the end result of filling holes and skim-coating of the wall base in my garage looks very nice. Randy and his crew were professional and easy to talk to, answering all my questions. They were very considerate of surrounding areas, including the driveway. I made an extra request as they were getting ready to leave and Randy and the crew completed my request with no problems/issues (although it was a Saturday and I'm sure they wanted to start their weekends)."

Customers say: Quick response

"I contracted with Lawn Legends to rebuild my front porch that has been slowly sinking over its 13 year life. They did a great job of dismantling the stone porch, pouring additional concrete footers, and then reassembling the porch. The job was done in a very timely manner with a lot of focus on the details. I could tell that Michael, Dan and their crew took much pride in their work and wanted to make sure that I was fully satisfied. I would highly recommend Lawn Legends."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Brick and stone are durable, low-maintenance materials that offer excellent insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can increase property value.

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To remove efflorescence stains, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.
