"James and his crew did a brilliant job. They were very efficient, did high quality work, and left the site clean. James has also been good to follow up the work with phone calls to suggest things I could doto make sure the concrete cures well. I would not hesitate to have them back, and will certainly call them when I have additional work to be done."

"I have used L&Z Masonry Corp. for multiple projects over the past 3 years. In each case, the work done was excellent. The owner prepared professional quotations with line-item breakdowns of costs. The work started on time and was completed on time. The workers conducted themselves in a professional manner and put in a full day's work every day. The owner regularly inspected the work that was done and had his crew make adjustments to ensure high quality results. The owner also kept me, the customer, informed as projects progressed and was very responsive to my questions &/or changes that I wanted to make. L&Z Masonry exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend their services."

"Antonio can not be any more different than the average contractor that many of us fret having to deal with. We immediately felt a strong sense of trust with Antonio. He worked with us in providing suggestions to keep the cost of our project very affordable. He takes incredible pride in the quality of his work and the satisfaction of his customer, without relying on high-end pricing to achieve either. The more we dealt with him, the more we got to know what a genuinely great person he is. It made us completely comfortable working with him, and we even joined him and his workers for several morning coffee and lunch breaks. (Our 3-year old daughter even connected with him and often asked to go outside to see Antonio and asked us if he would be coming back the next day). Hands down, Antonio is one of the most kind, gentle, and trusting individuals you will come across, and especially in the world of contracting services. Antonio built us a new flagstone patio, at least twice the size of our fieldstone patio. We could not be happier with the finished project but there are a few points to highlight. Originally, we desired a 16 x 30 rectangular patio and after advising Antonio of our plans to use the patio, he felt that we might want to do 17 or 18 x 30. While my wife had also felt that way from the start, I was very stubborn in giving up a little more of our backyard depth. Antonio noted that if we changed our minds, he could add on to the depth if we so chose. Sure enough, after endless second-guessing and then seeing the majority of the 16 x 30 patio laid out, we decided to have Antonio build it 17 x 34 . The additional dimensions were seamless and despite it being a late change, the patio shows no signs of an add on A couple of final points about the quality: the subtle multicolored stones are exquisite and perfectly draw in the sand color of our siding just as we had hoped they would. Finally, and possibly the most impressive part, is the circular corner section that we will dedicate to our fit pit area. We were extremely nervous about how that would come out especially when learning they would be cutting the circular perimeter BY HAND. They blew our expectations away with the entire project, but the circular firepit section especially highlights the excellent craftsmanship of the work for Antonio. I have already recommended Antonio to friends and family, including a brother who is a quality-obsessed contractor."
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
Yes, but it's best to kill off the grass with solarization and remove the dead plant matter before laying down the pavers. This helps limit the chance of your pavers shifting as the dead plant matter decomposes.
Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
Outdoor kitchens get wet and are sometimes next to pools. To avoid accidents, go with a non-slip material like concrete, brick, or rubber. Avoid materials like ceramic and porcelain, as they are known to be quite slippery. Wood and composite flooring can be slippery if untreated, so make sure to stain or finish these materials.
Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
