Jimmy's Masonry & Landscaping

A deteriorating brick entryway came down in spring 2023 and went back up in granite treads on brick risers. The customer who wrote about that job says challenges turned up, Jimmy worked through them, and the work was done quickly. Jimmy's Masonry & Landscaping works out of Lynn across the North Shore and Greater Boston — patios, walkways and retaining walls on the masonry side, design and maintenance on the landscaping side, with fencing, snow plowing and tree work offered alongside. The company claims twenty years of experience on its own site; its Thumbtack profile, under the name Jaime Nolasco Chavez, says twenty-three and shows a background check. Masonry is where the most detailed accounts sit. A September 2024 customer had a concrete slab poured for a small outbuilding on a slight grade and describes Jimmy asking questions to be sure he had it right first. A brick patio with landscaping around it in March 2024 came in at a price that customer found competitive against the other contractors they approached. A new walkway went in inside a week in February 2025. The landscaping side is mostly ongoing work: weekly service for a customer who signed on in 2023 and liked that Jimmy took time to talk through the yard, and fall and spring cleanups for a Thumbtack client who got updates throughout. In winter he plows — customers in March 2024 describe driveways, walkways and stoops cleared early enough that the day was not held up. The dissenting account is about money. A December 2023 reviewer says the quote came in four times higher than anyone else's and went elsewhere. Customers writing months later call the pricing fair or competitive, so get a second number if the job is a big one. The written history runs 2023 to 2025, at 4.6 across 19 Google ratings, with smaller samples on Angi and Thumbtack. For a patio, a walkway, an entryway rebuild or winter plowing on the North Shore, this is a masonry-first outfit whose customers point at the finished stonework.
