"We selected Hardscapes in late July 2020, and they were able to do the work in January 2021. We knew upfront they had a waiting list. They built a 70 feet long retaining wall as the existing one was railroad ties and it was failing. The new wall looks excellent. It took about a week to do, and it was rough work since it had been raining consistently. I also requested them to redo our stairs in the same area. While I should be most impressed with the wall as it is fabulous, I really love the stairs. It was excellent work. The gentlemen working were all very nice and did a great job cleaning up every day. The neighbors even complimented on how thorough they were with clean up. The owner came to the site every day staying as long as was necessary each day managing the project and reviewing work that had been done and tweaking if he thought it was needed. He was also very easy to contact and responsive if he wasn't on site. The owner appears to take pride in his work which is a very positive attribute. While he was here since we were very happy with the end product we also had him quote us on some other possible projects. In short, while there is a decent wait time, it is definitely worth it."

"Will, Darrel, and Bradley were very professional and spent the entire day without a break to complete installation of seven piers to raise sagging corners of my brick home. They were very courteous, freindly, informative of the process, and very willing to answer all my questions. They were eager to know that I was fully satisfied with their work."

"After getting 3 estimates Clean Cuts was the most detailed and best value by far. Very friendly and easy to work with. I had a retaining wall built and filled in with dirt and pavers layed on top to create a patio out my back door. Very slopped and unusable space. They had great ideals and beautiful material. Very pleased with the quality of the finished product. Receiving a lot of complements and turned the area into a wonderful space to use and enjoy."

"Diaz and crew did amazing work for us. I had trouble finding someone who could keep a schedule and Hermanos concrete quoted my work on a Friday and started on a Monday. The crew was big enough to get the driveway prepped for concrete in half a day and the concrete was poured the next morning. The work was quality and they installed rebar to help with stability. The mess was cleaned up when they were finished. In and out and easy process. Very friendly and courteous. I would hire them again."

"I am so pleased. I had a very short timeframe and Spaulding got right on the job and accomplished it as they said they would... that is saying something because, in my experience, projects always take longer than expected. Spaulding Decon did the job, on time, with people who care about their work!."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.

Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

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.
