Last 6 months: 9 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read Patios, walkways, steps and retaining walls are the jobs people hire AQ Masonry for. The company describes itself on its website as a hardscape and masonry business specializing in custom paver patios, walkways and retaining walls, and names Cheshire, Southington, West Hartford and North Haven as its service area. It holds 4.9 stars from 53 Google ratings. A recent customer needed a paver patio resanded and said they came out quickly to quote and fit the work in within a week of the quote being accepted. A recent customer who had loose stone front steps said AQ quoted the job the same day from pictures sent by text, and the steps came out perfect. A 2024 customer said Arlind put in a new retaining wall, extended the patio, added a fire pit and built a new walkway at their home. A 2023 customer said AQ rebuilt a crumbling retaining wall and redid the decking around their pool. A 2024 customer said the company came back to make room for a grill on the patio and charged only for the extra materials. A recent customer said that after their deposit was cashed, it took a month for the company to advise on scheduling. That customer said they arrived two hours late with no call or text, and the contractor then refused to do the job before the project even started. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0663978, as active, held by AQ Masonry LLC. **Strengths:** - Patio resanding — a recent customer was fit in within a week of the quote - Same-day quote — a recent customer got a stone step quote by text - A retaining wall build — a 2024 customer also got a fire pit and walkway **Concerns:** - Scheduling delays — a recent customer waited a month after the deposit - A refused job — a recent customer said the contractor walked away before starting ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.9 stars from 53 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=AQ%20Masonry%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJWXHinIS554kRbjO77sWs0GE) — “Google: 4.9★ from 53 ratings” - The company describes itself as a hardscape and masonry business specializing in paver patios, walkways and retaining walls _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://aqmasonryllc.net) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Look no further!
