# Empire masonry pools & tree service inc **Trade:** Masonry · **Phone:** (508) 280-5490 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.1/5** (medium confidence) — from 47 reviews across 2 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 5 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Empire Masonry (reviewers also refer to it as Empire Masonry and Construction, and Empire Masonry & Pool Landscape) is a masonry and tree-service company run by an owner reviewers call Chico. Reviewers describe him and his crew handling both trades — patios, pool decks, retaining walls and brick and stone veneer on one side, and tree removal and storm-damage cleanup on the other — for homeowners across multiple projects and years. The masonry side draws the deepest, most specific praise. Homeowners describe a hearth stone and granite treads, bluestone pool-deck repairs, brick veneer on a foundation, cobblestone driveway borders and a garage apron, a terraced patio and front walk, and a poured cement retaining wall replacing old wood — work that spans 2024 through mid-2026. Several customers came back for a second, third or fourth project, and one reviewer, a working architect of over 35 years, called the collaborative approach on a patio-and-fire-pit build a pleasant surprise. Tree work shows up almost as often, especially after storms: reviewers describe safe removal of large, hazardous trees leaning toward the house, cleanup after a blizzard, and multiple tree removals, consistently praised for thorough site cleanup afterward. The company is also vouched for by other trade professionals — a landscaping company thanked Empire for subcontracted irrigation work, and a general contractor who signs his review says he subcontracts all of his masonry work to Empire. One 2024 review flagged a small hiccup: a homeowner noticed water pooling near a newly finished garage apron after rain, though the review's text doesn't say whether or how it was resolved. Otherwise the record here — 47 reviews on Google, all five stars, spanning more than two years with recurring named customers and specific job detail — is unusually deep and consistent for a business this size. Anyone considering Empire for a project should ask directly about drainage planning on hardscape work near a house, and, since the reviews are almost entirely masonry and tree-related, confirm any adjacent landscaping or irrigation work (which shows up only in passing) is something they still take on. **Strengths:** - Masonry craftsmanship — repeated praise for patios, pool decks, and brick veneer work - Tree removal — handles large, hazardous, storm-damaged trees safely - Repeat customers — several reviewers return for a second, third, even fourth project - Responsive and on schedule — reviewers cite prompt quotes and reliable timelines - Trusted by professionals — an architect and a landscaping subcontractor vouch for the work **Concerns:** - Drainage after one job — a 2024 review noted pooling water, resolution unstated ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Reviewers repeatedly name the owner as Chico across both masonry and tree-service jobs spanning 2024-2026. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2s5V1MwSTVNVEF6U21SMFpuTXdTV0UwT1ZGbFEzYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xbd393e53d2a6e92b!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOk9WS0I5MTAzSmR0ZnMwSWE0OVFlQ3c%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Chico and his team are the absolute best.
