"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)."

"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."

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."

"Extremely pleased with the driveway. Bob and his Everlast crew did an amazing job in grinding out the old and laying the new driveway in under 5 hours. Extremely professional, efficient, clean and dedicated in their work. Great working with a third generation company. Even though the job is done there’s great comfort in knowing they are there to handle any future needs. Highly recommended."

"Scott and his team have done two projects for me. First was my back patio, steps, and carport retaining wall, which stretched the length of my home. The following year he did my front walkway and retaining wall. Scott and his crew were professional, timely, and communicative when we ran into issues with clay and Scott was able to troubleshoot creative solutions that worked. Their work is beautiful and solid. I’m very happy with both jobs and highly recommend Scott & his crew for any of your paver needs."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

Natural stone is formed in deep layers of the Earth through natural processes over thousands of years. The solid composition formations become massive rock beds, or quarries, from which miners extract them.
