Patios & Walkways in Franklin Center, Franklin, MA
Looking for patios & walkways in Franklin Center in Franklin, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Franklin and the rest of Norfolk County from our Boston base. Franklin patios and walls go up on newer subdivisions where drainage planning is critical.
Housing in Franklin Center in Franklin includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and wind-driven rain from nor'easters 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.
