Can it be dangerous to cut stone as a beginner?

• <div><p>Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.</p><p>However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.</p><p>To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.</p></div>

What does a mason do?

• <div><p>A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:</p><ul><li><p>Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings</p></li><li><p>Freestanding stone or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-wall-cost.htm">brick walls</a></p></li><li><p>Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces</p></li><li><p>Cement block basement or crawl space walls</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does a brick fence add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, brick walls often add value to a home. For starters, many people love the look of brick walls, so they can enhance your home's aesthetic appeal and add warmth to your property, especially when it aligns with the rest of your neighborhood's look. They also provide privacy and security, which can further increase the resale value of your home.</p></div>

Q: Does limewash brick get dusty?

• <div><p>Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues. </p></div>

Q: What causes mortar deterioration?

• <div><p>Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.</p></div>

It is hard to write this review. I have reached out several times. I sent photos of the issues recently again. No response. At first I was happy with the walkway. The main problems are the large stone steps which are actually cement blocks and the tops are breaking off and are not safe and look...

Excellent! Ross, did a very thorough job of cleaning the yearly accumulation of muck from the pond. Instead of just adding more rock to the bottom, he took rock that had slid down over the years, and manually replaced it on the various higher shelves in the pond. He then added additional gravel...

I couldn't be more pleased with the way this project turned out. Nick, one of the two owners, was a treat to work with; professional, responsive and a straight shooter. Their bid compared favorably with that of their competition both on price and honesty (there were no superfluous extras/add-ons...

Earl and Tony were very careful with our delicate plantings--they even made a box to protect a fragile specimen. They created a much better foundation than we had previously for the planter and wall, and selected the appropriate stones to use. They were very professional!

The contractor was responsive, addressing my concerns before hand, sent me an estimate, I approved and contacted me when they were ready to do the project. The job looked really good until about a week later we suffered torrential rains. These kinds of rains have occurred before and but never...

Bill did what he said he was going to do. The job went very well and his crew took great care with their work. It really was a thing of beauty. The only minor change I would have made was to have moved a stone on the lower right front of the bench that had a few natural markings that didn't go...

"they did good work, took only 2 days to scrape the gravel part of the driveway to widen it and then to lay the asphalt. The only problem I had was that the materials that were scraped up, gravel/grass was left in a pile at the end of my front yard and they never came to clean it up, despite being called numerous times and being told they would come and pick it up. 2 months later and they have never shown up to clean it up so now I have to figure out how to remove it from my yared before the town starts complaining and I end up getting fined. They defiintely need to stand by what they say the will do and follow through"
