JE Masonry & Landscaping inc.

JE Masonry & Landscaping, run by Agustin Ramos out of Lawrence, has built a nine-year run of five-star reviews around one thing: stonework. The recurring story across Google, Angi, and HomeAdvisor is retaining walls, patios, and walkways rebuilt by a crew that shows up on schedule and leaves the site clean. The specifics pile up. A 2025 review describes Agustin rebuilding a bulkhead-door foundation and installing a paver walkway and patio, staying flexible as the project's scope grew. A 2024 review recounts a full property overhaul: new plantings, sod, irrigation, a drywell, and a retaining wall. In a 2022 review, one homeowner had a 150-year-old stone foundation's chronic basement-water problem addressed by removing the old slab and installing new support columns. Multiple reviews going back to 2018 describe stone walls rebuilt or repointed in as little as two days, competitive pricing that held even as scope expanded, and, in one detailed 2018 account, a homeowner who chose Agustin's higher bid over a cheaper one specifically because of his attention to detail during the estimate, only to have him stick to that original price after the wall turned out to need a full rebuild rather than a repair. There's range beyond stonework too: gutter cleaning, yard cleanup, snow plowing, and power-washing-and-sealing jobs turn up in the same run of reviews, generally with the same praise for promptness and communication. The one dissent in the record is a 2018 Angi review (3 stars) where a customer, while calling the owner responsive and the crew hardworking, noted that gutter-cleaning runoff splashed and dirtied a car and back door, and that removing some stubborn stains would have required a chemical the company avoided using near nearby plants. For anyone weighing a hardscaping project — a retaining wall, a patio, a stone foundation repair — the consistency of this record across three separate review platforms and eight years is the strongest thing here. Worth confirming up front: how the crew protects nearby surfaces during pressure-washing or gutter work, given that one account.
