## The honest read

Jed Reisner grew up in Concord working under a local stone mason, then studied architecture at Lehigh, and customers keep describing the result the same way. "They didn't just lay stone," one wrote in May 2025 of a front stoop rebuild with veneer, a bluestone walkway and the drainage underneath it.

Concord Stoneworks does landscape construction and stone masonry out of 27 Hemlock Street — dry-stack walls, patios, walkways, and the fence and pool work that goes around them — across Concord, Carlisle, Lincoln, Sudbury, Lexington, Weston, Wayland, Acton, Cambridge, Belmont, Westford, Stow, Harvard and Groton. The Better Business Bureau puts the start date at January 2014 and grades the business A+, though it is not BBB accredited.

Water keeps turning up alongside the stone. A May 2025 customer had their old bricks reused in a new walkway and patio pattern and all the drainage reworked to run underground away from the house, coordinated with the asphalt company doing the driveway. In September 2024 a homeowner got a new stone wall and a walkway with drainage around a barn, and said Jed took his time explaining the options. In March 2026 a brick patio that had become, in the owner's words, "a bumpy ant farm with four-foot weeds" was replaced, with the crew working inside a newly painted fence and covering the outdoor heat pump equipment in plastic to protect it.

They take rescues, too. A couple who wrote in April 2024 brought Concord Stoneworks in after another contractor's fireplace modifications, and an August 2026 customer picked their bid over a considerably higher one to fix an uneven granite walkway — the proposal added cobblestones along the edge to hold the granite in place.

Two accounts run the other way and one is serious. A September 2023 reviewer said steps were installed inconsistent with the town code, and that the result was a condominium special assessment of more than $12,000 per unit, reaching more than $16,000 where owners had also paid privately. The same complaint appears on the company's BBB page. Separately, a customer writing in October 2022 said repeated calls went unanswered.

If you want stonework that looks like it has been there a century — dry-stacked walls, granite stairs, a bluestone terrace with the water going somewhere sensible — this is a crew that plans it with you first. For anything on shared or condominium property, get the step risers and grades checked against your town's code in writing before work starts, and settle up front who returns your calls once the crew is on site.

**Strengths:**
- Drainage built in — 2025 job routed water underground away from the house
- Design-led planning — a 2025 customer's detailed plan executed as drawn
- Site protection — crew covered heat pumps and worked inside a new fence
- Competitive bidding — the 2026 granite walkway bid came in considerably lower
- Rescue work — called in after another contractor's fireplace modifications, 2024

**Concerns:**
- Town code dispute — a 2023 reviewer says steps failed local code
- Condo assessment — that dispute cost units over $12,000 each, the reviewer says
- Unanswered calls — a 2022 customer reported repeated calls going unreturned
- Not BBB accredited — the A+ grade sits on an unaccredited profile
