"David was the only person to respond to our Angi notice of work needed and that was the day we posted it. He came as arranged and was able to re-use the bricks that had come loose on our front steps. After setting all the bricks, he had to wait two weeks for the mortar to set to be able to anchor the railing. He came as promised to finish the job. We are pleased with his work and would recommend him to others."
"Martin and his team were extraordinary. They added real stone (large ~3-5” thick) on 9 big cement supports under the main log pillars on our home. Once we selected the stone (called East Canyon) they handled everything including cutting the rectangular stone and creating unique hand crafted capstones. Martin and his team show the pride in their work and the craftsmanship for a very unique set of rock work. Martin is THE guy you want doing your stone work. My wife and I highly, highly recommend him and his team. The entire process of working with Martin was easy and seamless. He provided a bid with various options and prompt and timely during the 2 week project. The cleanup was also fantastic. This is my first Angi review so hopefully it has a step to add pictures."

"Alex ran this project as well and got help from Chris and his crew to zero scape my front yard. Rocks, 2 flower beds, and a long bush/tree bed. With some boulders. Its beautiful and no more yard work. They simultaneously did my driveway and my yard in 3 days 6 hours. It was so awesome! This company rocks it like no other."
"David and his crew Ives, Victor, and Joseph did a fantastic job stabilizing our foundation. They were focused on the job and came prepared to work. They finished the job quickly and professionally. They communicated with us throughout the entire process. Once they got into the project they were able to identify areas that didn't require the repairs and David quickly explained a new plan and then, with my permission, adjusted the plan which saved us several thousand dollars. I appreciated their honesty and integrity. Thank you Groundworks for training and hiring quality people.

"I have done many home improvement projects over my 30 plus years of home ownership and these guys are the best!! They were here everyday on time and worked non stop until they left at the end of the day. They worked through heat, rain and snow. The detail is awesome ( I am very picky) and they cleaned up everything when finished-not all contractors do believe me. I have hired many contractors between California and Utah and these guys are awesome! They were professional, did an amazing job and made a beautiful retaining wall and paver patio area which I am excited to use!! They are a small company and as a result can get things done and scheduled unlike previous large companies I have worked with. My materials were here and waiting when they started the work. So impressed with them...will be using them again for my next paver, or brick project for sure!"
"Couldn’t be happier with JH Concrete & Exteriors! They did an amazing job on my concrete walkout and stairs. The attention to detail, clean finish, and overall craftsmanship really stood out. You can tell they take pride in their work and make sure the job is done right. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality concrete work!"
"My landscaper has never looked better. They came out and worked nonstop and got my project completed ahead of schedule. For sure I will be using them again as I recommend them to all my neighbors"
Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.
Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.
Yes! Hot glue is an excellent—and temporary—way to spread holiday cheer with Christmas lights without damaging your brick exterior.
They provide excellent heat retention and durability and add a classic aesthetic to a home.
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).
