Paver & Cobblestone Driveways in Boston, MA
Looking for paver & cobblestone driveways in Boston, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Boston and the rest of Suffolk County from our Boston base. From Back Bay brownstones to triple-deckers in Dorchester, Boston masonry is old, soft-brick work that needs the right mortar and a careful hand.
Housing in Boston includes homes sitting on fieldstone and block foundations, and wind-driven rain from nor'easters is what wears this masonry down. That is why our paver & cobblestone driveways work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. A driveway built on a deep, compacted gravel base survives New England frost and plowing. We install concrete paver, granite cobblestone, and Belgian block driveways, aprons, and edging with the base depth that driveways actually need.
Response time in Boston: Same-day estimates, most weeks · Typical range $4,500 – $40,000
