Arlington Masonry & Patios is an Arlington, Massachusetts contractor whose listed work spans masonry, pavers, chimneys, and fireplaces. Angi and HomeAdvisor each show one five-star review, 24 years of experience, free estimates, and the same service mix. In an October 2022 review, a homeowner described a sizable residential project involving driveway widening and paving, removal of more than 150 tons of hillside, and a retaining wall more than 100 feet long and up to 14 feet tall. That account points to substantial site and hardscape work, but it is a single older customer account. This is a plausible fit for masonry and paver projects; confirm the current scope, schedule, estimate, and whether the crew handles the excavation and retaining-wall work in-house before booking.
We did a sizable residential project with Arlington Masonry (AM) and their performance was nothing short of exceptional. We started with widening and paving of our driveway, continued to remove > 150 tons of hillside, to build > 100 feet of retaining wall up to 14 feet tall, and finished with building a paved patio + walkway (~900 sqft). Most remarkably, with the increasing scope of the job, AM was able to escalate accordingly with more machinery and more people to get the job done in timely fashion. There were days when 14-16 people and an excavator were working on the site simultaneously. The entire project was finished in less than 1 month. Moreover, Mike Bracken was very helpful with designing the project, his ability to understand the materials and visualize the outcome is remarkable and attests to his many years of masonry experience. The fact that after seeing our results, 5 of our neighbors immediately hired AM for a wide variety of jobs further supports the quality of their work.
