Flagstone Patio's & Walkways  In Denver there is two basic forms of setting a flagstone patio. The most cost effective way for your Denver patio or walkway is by setting the stones on compacted roadbase with a polymeric sand compound in between joints. This procedure is knwon as a dry lay patio (Mortar less) but if you are looking for something that will last Colorado weather I would consider setting your Denver patio on a 4" concrete base reinforced with 1/2" rebar. This procedure is known as a wet lay patio because of the consistency the mortar is when it is set of the concrete base.  A Denver flagstone patio or walkway once finished will show off the unique irregular shapes and sizes of the flagstone. Flagstone has a flat surface making it the ideal product to use for walkways and patios. Having irregular size and shaped flagstone to work with proves suitable in free-form and geometric designs.

Commercial Construction in Denver  Commercial masonry is an extensive field of creative work that varies from laying a simple stone wall to the complexity of constructing a high-rise building. The various forms of Commercial masonry include bricklaying, CMU blocks, stone and concrete work. Within this already diverse field there are areas of specialization that include new construction / renovations, repairs and historical restoration.. While it would definitely be possible and even enjoyable for you to do some projects yourself, such as creating planters or laying stone walkways through the garden, it’s really a good idea to hire Villa masonry to handle any project that requires difficulties beyond that of a novice. Plus you need to remember that most masonry projects are labor intensive and can require some heavy lifting, so if you’re not physically up to the task, it would be best to call Villa Masonry LLC.

Flagstone Patios In Denver  For a stone to be called flagstone, it should have a porous finish to
make it suitable for foot walk traction. It usually comes in a variety
of shapes and cuts so that it offers a more authentic “outdoorsy”
experience than regular paving stones. Large slabs are used for paths,
while the smaller pieces are sold as “steppers”. Sometimes flagstone may come squares if
it is to be used for a patio. This all raises the question: is flagstone the right choice for your
outdoor living experience? The charm of flagstone is that it goes with
practically exterior architecture and landscaping. One drawback is that
flagstone markets tend to be regional, which means that if you want your
project to be reasonably priced, you have choices with whatever comes
within 500 miles radius. The choices available might not be your
preferred colors.  If you should choose flagstone for your next project, you must
examine the quality of the stone. The surface of the stone should be
flat, to hinder water and ice from making it crack. Also, you should
shoot for a stone that is around 2 inches thick, or more if you can find
it. One final consideration. proper installation of flagstone is
essential to the longevity of its use. A certain amount of unevenness in
the stones is considered a feature in hardscaping, but if they are too
uneven they can break. |

Denver Brickwork & Repair / Tuckpoint

Denver Brick repair / Tuckpoint  Over time, Denver masonry can become cracked and deteriorated, leading to loose bricks, voids in brick, cracks, and crumbling bricks. As bad as it may look, not all instances of Denver masonry deterioration require extensive restoration. In some cases, patching of the mortar joint (Tuckpoint) may be enough to restore the beauty and durability of your structure. Cracked, broken & eroded mortar does not just look bad, but it can affect the integrity of the Denver masonry structure. Depending on the level of deterioration, the crumbling brick or block may allow moisture or leaks into the structure itself. Additionally, once deterioration of this nature begins, it often spreads very rapidly. If ignored, it can lead to the need for removing and replacing whole sections of masonry, which would be much more expensive to repair. Email us @ http://[email protected] -or- Call 303-324-6533 |
Paver patio's & driveways

Paver Patio & Driveways  Denver brick paver walk ways and patios are becoming more and more popular each year. Our customers like the appearance, texture and charm of the many styles and colors offered in brick. As with almost everything, brick pavers do require some maintenance to stay looking nice. Each year we suggest our customers sand the joints in their brick. Sanding the joints will help prevent erosion between bricks. Erosion between brick joints exposes the compacted base material and can lead to settling. Without sufficient joint sand, brick pavers can and will settle over time. The expansion of ice and snow as it freezes during a Colorado winter is enough to cause movement in brick pavers. Remember, moisture and water can be detrimental to a brick paver walk or patio. If you keep the joints sufficiently sanded you can help prevent brick movement and settling. |

Colorado Stone & Brick Veneer  It is not hard to understand why nearly everyone likes the look of natural stone. It just simply looks good and will create the feeling of value and longevity for your Colorado home. That look and feel has been added to what is now being called stone veneer. Veneer is defined as a thin layer of material for facing or inlaying on another material. Veneers are usually applied to the outside of homes and can be seen in brick facade homes. When homes are constructed, the walls are first framed out and then the outside is covered with O.S.B sheathing. After this, siding of some kind is installed. This is where a veneer comes in, and that veneer can be brick, stone, or other forms of siding for your Denver home.  Call Rafael @ 303-324-6533 |
