JE Masonry & Landscaping inc.

JE Masonry & Landscaping is a Lawrence hardscape crew built around one recurring job: rebuilding a tired stone or retaining wall and laying pavers in its place. Agustin Ramos runs the company, which describes itself as serving Lawrence, Andover, North Andover, Boxford, Georgetown, and Haverhill with chimneys and fireplaces, steps and stairs, stone and retaining walls, walkways and patios, and backyard outdoor kitchens alongside landscape design and maintenance. The written record runs eight years deep, from 2017 through 2025, and it holds up: Google shows 16 ratings averaging 5 stars, Angi shows 23 ratings averaging 4.9. Customers keep coming back to the same kind of project — a crumbling stone wall repointed and rebuilt in a couple of days, a patchy backyard turned into a paver patio, a yard releveled after a pool install. A 2022 review describes fixing a 150-year-old house's water-in-the-basement problem after a previous contractor's botched sump-pump job, and reviewers from 2022 through 2024 keep singling out retaining walls and paver walkways, with one 2024 review calling the finished backyard "incredible." Ramos also picks up seasonal work on the side — snow plowing, gutter cleaning, spring cleanups — and reviewers from 2017 and 2018 describe him as reliable through a full winter of storms. That said, one 2018 Angi review is worth knowing about: a gutter-cleaning visit left splashing that dirtied a customer's car and back door, and while the owner responded professionally, the original stains the customer wanted removed were still visible afterward. One thing worth confirming before booking: HomeAdvisor's page for the company is close to identical to its Angi page — same rating, same review set dated 2017 to 2020, same Approved badge — but lists a different address (26 Hathaway Street in Lynn) than the one on file here (34 Lenox Cir in Lawrence). That reads like a stale or earlier address carried over from an old listing rather than a separate business, but it's a detail worth double-checking when you call. For a stone wall rebuild, a paver patio, or a full backyard hardscape project, the eight-year run of consistent, detail-oriented reviews makes a strong case. Ask about current lead times, and get any seasonal add-ons like plowing or gutter cleaning spelled out separately if you're bundling them in.
