JB Rock&Wall is a stone masonry contractor based in Essex, Massachusetts, run by Julian (reviewers also credit a teammate, Peter, on some jobs) and focused on stone retaining walls, patios, and walkways. Homeowners consistently praise both the finished stonework and the pace of the job: a retaining wall rebuild that started within a week of being hired and used what one customer called the "nicest granite blocks" among several quotes they compared, a brick sidewalk bump removed quickly in Boston, and a backyard stone patio and a dry stone wall both singled out by name. Several reviewers describe Julian and his crew working carefully around existing landscaping and finishing ahead of schedule. The reviews, all from Google and dating from 2024 into mid-2026, are close to uniformly positive — 24 ratings averaging five stars, with no complaints or negative accounts anywhere in the record. One reviewer specifically credits the team with repairing a wall after a car accident, and several describe hiring Julian on a friend's recommendation. The record is thinner than a longer-established contractor's — 17 written reviews on one platform — so it speaks mainly to the consistency of the craft rather than to a long operating history. For a retaining wall, patio, or stone walkway project, the review record points to careful, on-time stonework backed by consistently satisfied customers over the past two years.
Julian and his team did a fantastic job with our retaining wall. We got several other quotes but chose them since they had the nicest granite blocks, were able to start the soonest, and had a fair price. They were then able to start the project less than a week after we agreed to proceed and grinded hard to complete the project quickly. Furthermore, my wife had just finished planting a bunch of flowers around the old wall that fell, and Julian’s team was able to work around all the flowers and leave them untouched as they built the new wall. They are very hard working and considerate and would highly recommend them.
Julian and team did a great job removing a huge bump in my brick sidewalk in Boston caused by a giant root. Fast, efficient and great work! I highly recommend!
Great service, very confident on what they doing, The owner is so creative and full of ideas! Definitely highly recommended .
Big recommendation! Contact for a walkway patio and in a week was already done ! Thank you JB rock&wall!!
Julian and Peter did a great job rebuilding a stone wall behind my house. I’m glad I took a friend’s recommendation for them. What a pleasure to sit on the wall behind my house. A stream runs below it and a nice shade tree keeps it cool in summer.
