They were able to help me much more quickly than other companies could, and they did a great job and were very professional, pleasant to work with, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them."

"Just for EASY BASIC jobs. I had them remove small decorative stones and replaced with new plants/shrubs. They just dug holes and plants. I asked them to put weed barrier down, which I had. They werenâ t doing it, so I went out to water new plants.......then they started to use it!! Good people, price reasonable for the job"

"Being new to Rhode Island as permanent residents, we often have to rely on referrals or online research to find companies to do a variety of jobs around our home. Living in a condo community, we approached the HOA about replacing a tree that had split apart in our front yard due to high winds. HOA boards often have specific requirements and when we met with Joe Shaw, he was excellent at accommodating our request and working with us to find the right tree, given the soil and amount of daily sunlight were problematic. As scheduled, the tree was installed and we are extremely satisfied with the installation and the tree choice. Joe is very easy to work with and quite knowledgeable. I would recommend Nature Redesigned Landscaping enthusiastically. We are very pleased! Thanks Joe (and your crew)!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

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 masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.
