Shane came out, gave us a very reasonable quote to prepare and level out our existing driveway, and then spread the crushed concrete Copeland was going to deliver. We actually had several things come up that prevented us from doing it immediatly, but when we called him back approx 5 months later, he was extremely gracious and came back out to meet with my husband and go over all the details again. He figured the amount of base we would need and set everything up with Copeland's. He did the prep work one day, and the next day the concrete base was delivered and he did an awesome job of spreading it. We now have an wonderful driveway(with no mud!!), and we no longer have to cringe when it rains. Shane is definitely a "handshake is as good as a contract" type guy, and that's so refreshing in the world we live in today. I would recommend him to any and everyone if you need any type of tractor work done on your property.

After approval, Rich scheduled his stone mason to begin work on the retaining wall. The wall is beautiful and the quality is excellent. The next stage of the project was the construction of the arbor over my patio. Once the wooden structure of the arbor was completed, the stone masons returned and built stone boots around the 4 posts. These boots add the wow-factor to the arbor! Fill dirt and topsoil was brought it to level the yard up to the top of retaining wall and then a 4' wrought iron fence was installed on top of the stone wall. The final phase involved the plantings and construction of stone walkways. The plants include knockout roses, kaleidoscope abelia, dwarf yaupon, Indian hawthorn, cleyera, crape myrtles, and drawf pink muhly grass. Care was taken to level the stepping stones and a concrete fountain. Rich is very knowledgeable and works with customerst o fulfill their vision of the project. All of his workers are friendly and respectful and would answer any questions. At the end of each day, they cleaned the area so the space was never an eyesore. The finished yard is beautiful and will mature into a show place. So many of my neighbors have stopped by to compliment the yard and it makes me so proud. I enthusiastically recommend Rich and his company.

All excellent! The only possible 'negative' is because of an 'architectural view' oversight in the laying of one of the flag stones. I was not at home, so maybe it's MY fault. Karlo addressed the issue immediately when all is dry and blended it will probably NOT be an issue! The work also included gluing some questionable fissures in the stones and cleaning and sealing the wall, steps and patio stones. Karlo drove far and wide to find the best stone to match my 'lesser white' Austin stone. Finally, in the 'over and above' category, Karlo, from a last minute request, replaced two austin stone border stones on a neighbor's walkway. (This amount was included on my bill that I collected from my neighbor.) Once billed, Karlo dropped by the next day to pick up the payment. Then, the following day, he stopped by to drop off a sample of a lime stone cleaner that I could use on my stone mailbox if it discolored this summer. All excellent, again. I will call Karlo again and again for any masonry needs that I have and I will recommend him to anyone who asks! I intend to have him seal my stone repeatedly in the future.

Ted, I want you to know that the work you did for me turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. I can hardly believe how green and full the lawn is. The effort you made in getting the stone that I wanted really paid off, it looks great. If anyone where to ask me to provide a...
It took a few weeks to get started on the stone borders. Once they did start, it took about 4 days to complete. They also had a crew remove all of my grass to prep the yard for the sod while they got the sod. We picked an Austin Stone with French pattern and no brick cap for our stone...
Everything was perfect. I contacted Brandon in late May and showed him my plans for a custom patio with a very unique shape. We discussed our budget, and he definitely worked with us to get "the biggest bang for the buck." On the day work was scheduled, the crew showed up precisely at 8:30am...

"Phil and I are so very pleased with the quality of work and the professionalism of the entire crew from TBL. We had another company we were seriously considering for the build of this patio. But our decision to go with TBL rested solely on the expertise and wisdom we saw in Kimbra. I really felt we would be able to communicate our desires and hear what could and could not be done in an honest way with Kimbra. She was right beside us through every decision and kept us in the loop at all times. We will use TBL again for other projects. Our patio is beyond beautiful. Our thanks to Chilo and his crew for their amazing skill bringing our ideas to reality. Each person, from electricians, to roofers, to gutter installers, was professional and very experienced. We are VERY satisfied and having a hard time coming inside from our beautiful patio. :) Thank you so much for having such a great group of people representing your company. And the value for the end result was very fair!"

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts
Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.
If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.
But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.
Masonry is an umbrella term that involves adhering individual building materials together using an adhesive, so many different things are considered masonry. These include constructing stone or brick walls or facades, installing stucco siding, installing backsplashes or tile floors, and even installing glass block windows, in some cases. Masonry materials include natural stone, clay bricks, concrete bricks, glass blocks, and tiles.
A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).
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.
