"The brick layers were very knowledgeable and experienced. They corrected an alignment problem I wasn't even aware of. They finished the project in three hours and I was very pleased with the results. They suffered through the rain to keep working. I would highly recommend R&M Masonry for any stone or brick project."

I come from a long bloodline of masonry workers, after 15 years in the business I decided to open my own company and have a highly skilled team of 26 employees. I'm competitive and value my work.
"We hired this company to correct foundation movement and elevation issues on our property. They performed a thorough inspection, took precise measurements, and clearly explained the cause of the settlement and the recommended repair plan.
The scope of work included installing piers, lifting and stabilizing the foundation, and addressing interior/exterior cracks. The crew followed the plan exactly, kept us informed throughout the process, and documented the work. Elevations were checked before and after to confirm proper leveling.
The job was completed on schedule, the site was left clean, and the foundation is now stable with noticeable improvements in door alignment and flooring. Quality workmanship and professional execution from start to finish. I would confidently recommend them for structural foundation repairs."

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.
