Thank you for your interest in Merritt's Excavation and our services. I got my start when I was knee high learning the business from my father. I will work with you 1-1 and have over 14 years of experience on over 250 projects to offer to your patronage and design. Our focus is excavating with grading, stone gravel, exterior drain & pipe replacement, driveway work, house footings, and grading work. I specialize in waterproofing basements and will take those projects on a case by case basis. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and I am born and raised here in West Virginia with lots of contacts for your to consult with if needed. I look forward to planning work on your home and do free estimates on any jobs on any projects with agreement or deposit!

"We had a leak in our half basement when it would rain and we have been dealing with it for years. We looked all over trying to find someone to help for a reasonable price, but all I got was people gouging the prices and giving me ridiculous quotes. Bradley reached out to me mere moments after I signed up for Angi to find a specialist and he came down to take a look at my situation that very same day. He lives more than an hour away but he came anyway. He gave me the lowest quote and scheduled me up for less than a week to get started and took him only two days to finish. The work is immaculate. I will definitely be using his services in the future and anyone else would be a fool not to do the same. Thank you so much for your help."

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It’s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You’ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.
