"We were in bad need of repair after the front supporting wall to our front porch slab collapsed. John presented an idea with gravel that made the project so much more attainable for our family. He and his worker did an amazing job. They were kind, they always showed up, they do quality work, and they cleaned everything up to make it even better than before they arrived. They were truly an answer to our prayers for quite a while! I would share pictures of their awesome work, but upload does not seem to be working."

"They started the job quickly, worked diligently, and took just two days to build our new concrete patio from start to finish. Reasonable cost too. Very pleased with our new patio, and with G.C. Construction Company."

"Valley Crest is hands down the best contractor we have ever worked with. He had done more than one project for us, in fact, he does all the builds we have. From our deck to our porch, the projects he has done are the best we have ever seen. ((Wish the site would let us put more than one project down.)) Owner, Clayton, is kind, personable, and ready to solve any task - going above and beyond."

"My experience with Fanel Hardscapes and Landscapes was excellent. They repaired my walkways and built beautiful stone driveway columns, including a custom stone mailbox. The team was professional, detail-oriented, and attentive to my vision, offering helpful design input throughout. The workmanship is exceptional—the walkways look refreshed, and the columns and mailbox create a striking focal point that enhances my home’s curb appeal. Beyond the craftsmanship, the crew was punctual, respectful, kept the area clean, and completed the project on time. I highly recommend them for their quality, reliability, and craftsmanship."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Cobblestone can be made from many different types of stones but the most common ones, by far, are granite, basalt, limestone, and sandstone.  If you are laying a brick paver patio or other such project, the medium is different. It’s rare, but cobblestone can also be made from marble, slate, jasper, and other types of rock. Technically, you can make cobblestone from almost any type of rock, but if it is weather-resistant and stands the test of time is another question entirely.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.
