Bennetts Rock Solid Solutions

Existing walkway approx. 50 yrs old was uneven, mortar was cracked and loose everywhere, some stones on the steps were loose and dangerous to walk on. Met with Mr Bennett for quote, discussed what I needed, how he would do it, his ideas, agreed on method and details, and got quote. He has a great picture resume of previous projects. Mr Bennett and employees removed all old rock, cleaned up old mortar on rocks and disposed of loose mortar pieces. Next they leveled the dirt that the old stone was installed on (including cutting some roots that were in the way), staked out some corners and put lines in to establish the final height of walkway. It is on a slightly sloped front yard. Portable concrete mixer was used to mix on site and laid down concrete with reinforcement and fitted each stone. Each stone was leveled as was fit on the walkway. Its like a jigsaw puzzle fitting and chiseling the old stones to fit nicely. Eight steps at one end were built (originally 7) with attention to height of each step. It required one more step than original to get reasonable step sizes. After complete, they cleaned up the area and acid etched the residual off the walkway surface resulting in a great looking walkway and steps. Final price was exactly as quoted.
