Looking for patios & walkways in Highlands in Lowell, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Lowell and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Lowell's mill-era brick is beautiful and demanding. Repointing here is about matching soft, historic mortar correctly.

Housing in Highlands in Lowell 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 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 Lowell: Estimates within 72 hours · Typical range $28 – $65 per square foot
