"Mr. Higgins is professional, respectful, honest and efficient. He provided me an honest assessment of my current chimney situation with multiple options to repair and improve the situation. My family and I have been pleased with all the additional services such as fall/spring clean up, masonry work etc. Mr Higgins communicates to his customers and is easy to get ahold of. He returns phone calls promptly and is very reasonable. I recommend this company to anyone for household needs."

"From initial meeting with sales representative through installation, staff was knowledgeable, professional and performed good work. The products were thoroughly explained to us and why it could alleviate the dampness and odor in our basement. So far (four months in), it appears to be working. We were told the time the installers would be here; on the day of install they encountered an issue with their truck which delayed their arrival. The team leader called us immediately and advised us of the issue then called an hour later to tell us they were on their way. They were respectful of our home and kept the mess to a minimum (there will be dust from the jackhammering!). They explained everything they were going to do as they went along (my husband asked). The work was completed in 2 1/2 days."

"We had the following done by Douglas Landscaping: two sets of concrete stairs, a walkway, railings, a curb, and river rock installed on a slope. Trenton and crew are responsive, professional and hard working. To begin, Trenton promptly reached out to us after we requested an online quote. He came out, talked to my husband and I about what we wanted done, made suggestions, and took measurements. He got back to us promptly with a quote that detailed what would be done with the cost. We signed a contract and set a start date. The crew showed up early each day and put in a full day’s work. He checked with us along the way to be sure we were happy with the progress. At the end, he made sure the work met our expectations. He was professional every step of the way. Thank you!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) recommends placing a mailbox 6 inches to 8 inches back from the curb. If your lot is unusual, speak with town authorities or the local post office to determine the correct placement.

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.

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.
