How to remove the white stains I see on my bricks?

• <div><p>The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-efflorescence-brick.htm">remove efflorescence stains</a>, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.</p></div>

What type of rock is best for landscaping?

• <div><p>The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your needs. If you want to build an affordable driveway, consider gravel. If you want an aesthetically pleasing patio, you can’t go wrong with flagstone. If you’re building a water feature, consider river rock as the base. Start by figuring out your landscaping project, then choose the best rock for that project. </p></div>

Q: How often does brick need to be repointed?

• <div><p>Repointing brick is recommended every 25 to 30 years. Professional repointing can easily last this long if you're following all basic <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preventive-maintenance-brick-and-stone-exteriors.htm">brick and stone maintenance tips</a>. However, you may find that you need repointing more often if you live in an area that sees harsh weather or if the construction of your home was rushed. Additionally, if you DIY your brick repointing, you&rsquo;re more likely to find that you need additional repointing more often, so every 10 to 15 years might be more appropriate. </p></div>

Q: What type of drill is best for brick?

• <div><p>The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you&rsquo;re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.</p></div>

Q: Are brick mailboxes allowed everywhere?

• <div><p>Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/masonry-contractor-hiring-tips.htm">masonry contractor hiring tips</a> is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.</p></div>
