Blue Stone Masonry

Blue Stone Masonry is one man and a long argument with stone. The About page on his site doesn't sell anything — it reads like a memoir: growing up in a rural central Massachusetts town among old farmers' walls, building a first fieldstone retaining wall for a small landscape company, getting called 'Grasshopper' by the crew, and gradually deciding the trade was in his blood. The work is natural stone, granite and brick — new construction, repair, restoration and replication — done directly with the client or alongside a designer or architect. He works out of 19 Liberty Street in Worcester and runs it as a sole proprietorship. BBB records the business as started in 2012, grades it A+, and shows no complaints and no government actions, though it isn't accredited. Outside his own pages, the clearest independent trace is a New England stone supplier that credits Joseph Blue of Blue Stone Masonry by name on its own site — the sort of nod that comes from inside the trade rather than from advertising. That is the whole picture, and it is a small one: no customer reviews on any source, and one pair of hands. If you want a wall or a set of steps laid by the same person who quoted it, ask to walk a finished job — his own work is the reference on offer.
