"Hilario, Juan and Miguel worked tirelessly over a week on several different projects. Hilario met with me and we agreed on a price that was better than two other contractors I had asked to quote the jobs. I was encouraged by the strong reviews that I found on Home Advisor, so I decided to go with him and I am very glad that I did. He did brick work on a retaining wall, a walkway, a pillar and a chimney. He installed a patio and a firepit. that is beautiful. I added on another project: demolish a shed and pour a foundation for the new shed, both jobs he handled well. He and his team were professional, hard-working and cleaned up after themselves daily. I would strongly recommend Hilario for any masonry work that you might need done. The finished product is beautiful."

"I have used Mason Works on a previous project in 2017 (new stone wall and front step repair) and was very happy with their work. This project was to replace driveway including matching previous stone wall, add granite curbing to right side and complete replacement of existing asphalt. Stone wall is great, granite curbing is great but does not fully match in size or color (they explained that this is typical when ordering granite) and driveway really is just OK. They use a more course asphalt mi than you'd typically see and they explained that it lasts longer. My issues with driveway: • Driveway not evenly smooth, quite a few rougher spots • Section on side of driveway that you can see it's not evenly rolled • They said to wait 5 days to park on it and I waited 3 weeks instead but there are several tire marks already from parking on it"

"I hired Eligio & Sons Masonry & Landscaping to replace the concrete steps at the front of my house and they did an amazing job. The new steps came out strong, clean, and perfectly level. They were professional, showed up on time, and cleaned everything up when they finished. I highly recommend them if you need masonry or concrete work done."

"Yovani and his crew were terrific! Very responsive and communicative. They worked fast, used high quality materials, and worked with our budget even as our project grew from a patio and retaining wall to include a yard clear out, a pathway, steps, and turf install. Highly recommend them!"

"After at least 30 years of major wear and tear, our bluestone patio around our swimming pool required a MAJOR restoration. The bids we got from folks ranged widely, but only Ion seemed to understand what it would take and came in with a more than reasonable bid. This was no small project and took over two weeks to complete, and every step of the way Ion and his one-person crew were on the job promptly each morning and took care to consult us on every issue that came up. He also took the time to make certain we could deal with various daily tasks and even a major crisis (our water heater tank broke, flooding the basement in week two -- meaning they had to deal with heavy traffic in and around their working area at times). Despite the tumult, the progressed nicely throughout.... The restoration itself looks wonderful and enhanced the look (and certainly the value) of the property. We were constantly consulted on decisions related to material and design, and the Ion's craftsmanship is evident in the final product. We highly recommend I.C. Masonry and Ion will be our first call whenever we have need for his skills."

"After consulting with a couple of other companies, I made the decision to go with Next Level Concrete and Masonry and I am so glad that I did. From start to finish, Esvin and crew were a pleasure to work with; the price was reasonable; the work was done timely; and the finished driveway is amazing. Thank you Esvin … I will be referring you to others for certain."

"They also do two sets of stairs and a very long retaining wall. They are reliable and transformed our outdoor front and back stairs and retaining walls. They worked hard and great at communication. I would recommend to anyone needing any type of masonry work. They have transformed the outside of my house."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Melrose, MA

With proper design and construction, stone retaining walls can last anywhere from 50 to 200 years. They're built to withstand soil pressure and environmental factors, especially when reinforced with geogrid and constructed on solid foundations. Using quality materials and skilled professionals ensures your retaining wall will be durable for decades.

You can choose between natural stone and stone veneer for your project. Natural stone offers timeless durability and character, while stone veneer provides a sleek, modern look and is lighter to install. Both options are strong and provide good drainage. Consider your budget, maintenance preferences, and design goals to decide which material is best for your wall.

Choosing the right masonry professional is key to ensuring your stone wall stands the test of time. Be sure to check that the contractor has valid licenses and certifications, and a strong track record of quality work. Look at their past projects and read customer reviews. Meeting them in person and getting detailed quotes will help you make an informed decision. Taking these steps will help you find an expert who can build a sturdy and beautiful wall for your home.
