Patios & Walkways in Medford, MA
Looking for patios & walkways in Medford, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Medford and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Medford has a mix of colonial-era stone and 1920s brick. Both need different mortar, and we test before quoting.
Housing in Medford includes homes sitting on fieldstone and block foundations, 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 Medford: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $28 – $65 per square foot

What patio material holds up best around Boston?
Full-thickness bluestone and granite handle freeze-thaw and salt best. Quality concrete pavers are close behind at a lower cost.
Will my patio sink or heave?
Not with the right base. Heaving comes from shallow base depth, poor compaction, or trapped water, all of which we address during excavation.
