"The project started mid July. It was to be a 5 day job. 6 weeks later we are not close to being done. The floor has been laid incorrectly twice and still isn't finished. The tub isn't in. The vanity is in front of my closet where it has been for 3 weeks. My bathroom door is in my garage. I have waited at home for days after being promised they were on their way. The only time I get a response from them is when I start telling them I will go to labor and industries. I won't let them into my home anymore. Forget it."

"Review of Erin Landscapes LLC and/or Erin landscaping and masonry LLC and Kristian Nason BEWARE!!!!! We hired Kristian in November or 2019. He estimated our project to take three weeks. We gave a 50% deposit to start work per his contract agreement. He began work, we saw him a handful of days and never more than a few hours. He ran his machinery into our brand-new wood fence, broke a panel and a top cap. He tried to downplay this, eventually he agreed to fix the panel. At that point it was approximately 4 months later and our project was only a quarter of the way through with dirt mounds and trenches through the winter. He had our deposit and we felt we had to push forward to get our money out of him. He continued to have excuses as to why he wasn’t working on our project ranging from weather, his own health, other jobs, staffing issues. We eventually sent him a 15-day notice per the contract requirement (he uses the contract language a lot to defend his issues) This really upset him, but he showed up with a crew. The crew continued work without Kristian onsite. He had stated to us that he would be there supervising the work, he was not there and rarely came by to check on his crew. He then fired the whole crew while they were working at our house for lack of performance. Throughout this entire time, we received promises that he would be onsite at specific times/days and repeatedly he would no show no call and would not respond to phone calls or texts. When confronted about his communication with us he would be angry then eventually tell us we were great clients and that he would do better. There was no improvement. We documented months and months of emails and text communication because he was escalating to being very contradictory, volatile, and deceitful. 10 months after hiring him he sent us an email saying he was “now losing money and paying to do our project out of his pocket” he said he was done and would not be coming back to finish his work. We began to search for another contractor and due to Covid-19 and the high demand on landscapers and outdoor improvement projects it was a tough task. We did find several who were amazing and turns out one was currently finishing 3 projects that had been started by Kristian and Erin Landscaping and Masonry. We were told by other contractors they were bidding work in the same situation as we were in with Erin Landscaping. Many of the other clients were in worse shape than us and had been strung on like us by Kristian. When Kristian was bidding our project, he touted about his level of expertise with masonry work and his work ethic stating, “I finish what I start and have never left a project”. I can speculate what is going on here, but it is more important that this not happen to anybody else. This is the single worse experience we’ve had with a contractor (we’ve had many personally and professionally). If you need more than this one review and are even considering a project with him, please ask for his last 3 jobs as references. If he can provide them, talk to them and drive by to be sure they are legitimate. Look up his business on the L&I website to verify company status and ask your local gravel/landscaping suppliers for a reference. He has been known to change his business name and/or relocate. We found there to be no integrity with him. We are very understanding people and stuck with this process for 10 months trying to work with him to finish our 3-week project and reduce the financial deficit he left us in. Our hope is nobody will ever have this experience with him again. Erin Landscape and Masonry cost us thousands of dollars more than the remaining contract value to finish this with a reputable contractor."

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.
The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:
Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot
Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot
Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot
Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot
Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot
Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot
Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot
Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot
Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project
Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot
A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:
Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings
Freestanding stone or brick walls
Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces
Cement block basement or crawl space walls
Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.
Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.
