D Pacheco Masonry

D Pacheco Masonry is a Framingham hardscape crew that homeowners keep calling back — several of the reviews on file are from repeat clients who hired the team for a second or third project. The company says it's locally owned and operated with 20 years in the trade, serving MetroWest towns from Natick to Wellesley, and it carries a BBB A+ rating. The record is deep: 42 reviews from 2021 through 2026, 26 of them in just the last six months and none of those recent ones negative. The specifics repeat across years rather than just adjectives — a driveway lined with stone walls and a long walkway down to a pool, a patio and front walkway finished around a family graduation ten days out, front steps replaced the same week a quote came in, a bulkhead dug for extra basement access, and a donated outdoor grill installed for a Boston charity house. Reviewers keep naming the same things: fair pricing, a crew (often named individually — Welves, Doug, Carlos) that communicates through design changes, and a job site left cleaner than it was found. Two things are worth asking about before booking. A 2022 review described a patio whose pitch and drainage kept causing water to puddle, needing several return visits to fix — the owner offered to redo it at a discount, but it's worth confirming the grading plan in writing upfront on any patio project. A separate 2022 review reported calls for a quote on a small job going unreturned, which is worth a note if you're chasing a fast response on a minor project. For a patio, walkway, retaining wall, or stone-step job, the weight of the record points to a crew that shows up, talks through the design, and gets specific praise for the finished work — just get the drainage details nailed down before the crew starts.
