Looking for patios & walkways in Newtonville in Newton, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Newton and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Newton patios, retaining walls, and granite entries are our most common project mix, often tied into larger landscape plans.
Housing in Newtonville in Newton 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.
