What are the differences between concrete and masonry?
Concrete and masonry are two popular choices for hardscaping projects. Both materials are durable and offer a wide range of design options. However, there are some key differences between the two.
Concrete is a man-made material that is created by mixing cement, sand, and gravel. It can be cast into various shapes and forms, making it a versatile choice for hardscaping projects.
Masonry, on the other hand, is a man-made or natural stone that is cut into blocks or bricks. It is often used to create walls, patios, fireplaces, and other structures. Masonry is more labor-intensive than concrete, but it also offers a higher level of custom finish and durability.
How do I care for completed concrete & masonry projects?
If you’ve colored your concrete, you’ll need to reseal it once per year to preserve the color. You should also regularly sweep and clean your flat work to remove dirt and debris. Oftentimes concrete and masonry work is outside and the elements can and do take a toll on them over time.
By taking proper care of your concrete or masonry surfaces, you can ensure that they will continue to look great for years to come.
Are there site restrictions or special requirements for concrete & masonry projects?

Can I pour concrete myself?
Many homeowners opt to pour their own concrete driveway or patio, but if the job is not done properly, it can lead to unnecessary cracks, unclean finishes or other issues.
