Can We Answer Your Masonry Questions?
What types of stone do you work with for walkways and patios?
We work with various materials including bluestone, flagstone, brick pavers, concrete pavers, and natural stone. We'll help you select the best option based on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and the specific application.
How long will my new stone patio or walkway last?
When properly installed with the correct base preparation, a stone patio or walkway can last 25+ years. Natural stone installations can last generations with minimal maintenance.
Can you match existing stonework for repairs or extensions?
Yes, we're experienced in matching existing masonry. We carefully source materials that blend with your current stonework in color, texture, and style to create seamless repairs and additions.
Do you install heated walkways or driveways?
Yes, we install heating systems under walkways, patios, and driveways to prevent snow and ice buildup during winter. This adds convenience and safety while extending the life of your masonry by preventing freeze-thaw damage.
What maintenance do stone patios and walkways require?
Stone hardscapes typically require minimal maintenance. We recommend occasional sweeping, periodic rinsing, annual inspection for shifting or loose stones, and resealing joints every few years depending on the installation type.
Can you repair my leaning or damaged retaining wall?
Yes, we repair and rebuild retaining walls. We'll assess whether repair is possible or if rebuilding with proper drainage and structural support is necessary for long-term stability and safety.
How long does a typical masonry project take to complete?
Project timelines vary based on size and complexity. A standard walkway might take 2-3 days, while a large patio with built-in features could take 1-2 weeks. We provide specific timelines during the estimation process.
How do you ensure proper drainage for patios and walkways?
We install proper base materials with adequate compaction, create appropriate slope away from structures, and incorporate drainage solutions such as French drains or permeable paving when needed. This prevents water pooling, erosion, and freeze-thaw damage.
