James General Masonry is a Westborough-area masonry and landscape contractor whose listed work includes hardscaping, stamped concrete, patios, walkways, walls, stairs, driveways, and related outdoor projects. Recent 2026 reviews describe patio, backyard, walkway, stair, and retaining-wall work, while older reviews describe site clearing, concrete-block walls, and a shed site; the BBB profile lists the business as James General Landscape & Masonry, Inc. Across the available 2023–2026 Google reviews and older directory reviews, homeowners consistently praise professional crews, prompt communication, tidy sites, on-time work, and finished patios, walkways, stairs, and retaining walls. Several reviewers describe concrete or masonry projects in detail, including a retaining-wall repair with multiple repair options and a front-entry project completed in a few days. Directory pages also show five-star ratings, free estimates, warranties, and Spanish-language service information, though some directory ratings include externally posted reviews that the platform cannot verify. Before booking, confirm the exact scope, materials, drainage or foundation requirements for walls, schedule, warranty terms, and what is included in the written estimate. The current registry evidence should also be clarified: an active Massachusetts HIC record is held by James General Framing Corp, not by the James General Landscape & Masonry name shown in the customer-facing profiles. This is a strong candidate for a homeowner planning a patio, walkway, stairs, retaining wall, or broader hardscaping project. Ask the company to explain the business-name relationship behind the registry record and provide current project references before signing.
We recently had our patio and backyard upgraded, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, reliable, and paid attention to every detail from start to finish. They transformed our outdoor space beautifully, and the quality of the work truly exceeded our expectations. Communication was great throughout the entire project, and everything was completed on time and with care. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to improve their backyard or patio. Outstanding work and a great experience overall!
James General Hardscape did a great job on a patio project in Wayland, MA. Wagner and his team were professional, reliable, and delivered quality workmanship from start to finish. The final result came out clean and well executed. I would definitely recommend them.
We are so happy with our new front entry stairs/landing and walkway built by James General. Beautiful work with great attention to detail. Very high quality materials. The crew came as scheduled and worked to complete the project in just a few days. They kept the area tidy and were respectful of our property. Communication before and throughout the project was prompt. And the cost was very reasonable I recommend James General.
Our retaining wall fell from the weight of the snow/rain and Wagner came over that day for an estimate. His pricing was very reasonable and fair and provided multiple options on how to repair. Wagner was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was easy and responsive to communicate with, thorough, detailed and the finished wall looks amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough.
I love working with James General Masonry Services, and I couldn’t be happier! From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and extremely detail-oriented. They showed up when they said they would, kept the workspace clean, and communicated clearly throughout the entire project. You can tell they take real pride in their work—every part of the job was done with care, and the quality really shows. Wagner and his crew work efficiently, they’re respectful, and they make the whole process smooth and stress-free. It’s not easy to find a team like this nowadays. If you’re looking for masonry work done the right way, I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects.
