"I hired Harvin Masonry to repair front steps on my home, job done perfectly. The work was excellent and when they left it was cleaned, you could not tell that repairs had been made. They were very nice people, will definitely hire this firm again. Walter G"

"The overall experience was really good. Scott kept in touch with me via phone and email after our first contact. I got advance notice about when they would be available to do the work, and the day the work was scheduled, they showed up on time. I was given a walk through on everything they needed to do, they gave me some options where decisions needed to be made. The crew was respectful of my property. They were not loud, they cleaned up everything in their work area. I'm satisfied with the finished result, and with the price I was given. I'm building what is basically a free stone retaining wall on one side, and I was even given some tips on how to make that go smoothly! I've very satisfied, and if I need this type of service again, I'm going to call Green Landscaping first."

"From my first phone call to Ryan to discuss my needs to Lane Jack and Michael S doing my work, I have been more than pleased with the service and attention given to me. My project was more complicated than expected (due to the location of my utilities), but they did everything to ensure my foundation repair was correct and did not leave me in a bad situation. The guys were very respectful of my home and toward me as well. I would 100% recommend them to do your foundation repairs."

"Someone hit my brick mailbox and I hired Peace Construction to rebuild it. It only took 1 day to be rebuilt. The bricks for the mailbox matched the exact bricks on my home. It looked better than the one that was damaged. The owner was very professional and extremely easy to work with. I would DEFINITELY recommend Peace Construction for any masonry needs. They are quick and professional. I was very satisfied and the price was exceptionally reasonable."

"Javier Ramos Landscaping LLC did a fantastic job installing the new sprinkler system. The newly laid sod was peeled back and the trenches were all hand dug. Javier put the system under the driveway without the need to cut it. It took Javier and his crew 1 day to complete the sprinkler system. The lawn was back to normal and no sign of the trenching exists. I would highly recommend Javier Ramos Landscaping LLC."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

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.

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.

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.

You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it’s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you’ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.
