Looking for paver & cobblestone driveways in Cambridge, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Cambridge and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Cambridge is dense with 19th-century brick that was built with lime mortar. We match historic joints instead of forcing hard modern mixes onto old walls.

Housing in Cambridge includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and New England's 60–100 freeze-thaw cycles a winter 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 Cambridge: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $4,500 – $40,000
