Cabral Tree & Masonry

Cabral Tree & Masonry is a Chelsea outfit built around stone. Its Houzz page reads like a hardscape catalogue — patios, pavers, retaining walls, custom fire pits, outdoor fireplaces and kitchens, pergolas and gazebos — run by an owner Houzz names as Luis, out of 114 Chestnut St. Six projects sit on that profile, and the company puts typical jobs between $3,500 and $100,000: wide enough to cover one patio or a whole rebuilt yard. BuildZoom lists the same Chelsea company a little differently, adding decks and porches to the landscape and hardscape work. What's missing is anyone's account of how a finished Cabral wall or patio holds up — neither directory carries a customer review. BuildZoom also notes it was unable to verify a licence for the company; that is the directory's remark about its own records rather than a finding from the state, but it makes registration and insurance worth confirming directly, especially for structures like decks, pergolas and gazebos. If you want stonework across Greater Boston, this is a company whose whole listed range points that way. Before signing, ask to walk a patio or retaining wall they finished a few seasons ago, and get the base preparation and drainage written into the scope.
