Looking for patios & walkways in Union Square in Somerville, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Somerville and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Somerville chimneys and front stoops take a beating from tight lots, road salt, and decades of deferred repointing.

Housing in Union Square in Somerville includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil 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 Somerville: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $28 – $65 per square foot
