Looking for patios & walkways in East Arlington in Arlington, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Arlington and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Arlington's hills mean retaining walls and stepped walkways, where drainage design matters more than the stone itself.

Housing in East Arlington in Arlington includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and road salt and plow damage every winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our patios & walkways work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. The difference between a patio that heaves and one that stays flat is entirely underneath it. We excavate deep, compact in lifts, and set stone with edge restraint so it survives winter.

Response time in Arlington: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $28 – $65 per square foot
