Looking for patios & walkways in French Hill in Marlborough, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Marlborough and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Marlborough sloped lots make drainage-first retaining wall design essential.

Housing in French Hill in Marlborough 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 Marlborough: Estimates within 72 hours · Typical range $28 – $65 per square foot
