New England Masonry & Landscape Services is a Hudson, Massachusetts contractor listing concrete, masonry, and landscaping work, with 24 years of experience stated on its profiles. The work described by customers ranges from retaining walls and brick steps to stamped patios, foundations, and landscape projects. The written history is dated 2020–2023 and sharply mixed. A December 2020 homeowner described a same-day estimate, repointing and concrete work completed efficiently, while several 2021–2023 homeowners described cracked or unfinished projects, delayed return visits, and unanswered calls. Those follow-up reports are the main thing to resolve before hiring: ask how warranty repairs are handled, who will return for punch-list work, and what payment milestones apply. A 2023 reviewer also described retaining-wall lighting left in the wrong location after a six-month delay. The company may fit a clearly scoped masonry or landscape project, but the dated complaints make a written scope, completion schedule, and warranty process important before work begins.
BUY BE WARE!!! I hired Fred for 4 jobs within 9 months. This is the first job. I called Fred about concrete foundational spalling/flaking. It was a small area, estimated around $600. However, Fred, was not willing to come for a job that small. I then increased the job to pay him $1,800 to included grinding out the joint and smaller cracks in the foundation. At the same time he priced out 2 other jobs for me. Fred had 2 employees complete the job in less than a day. Fast track 10 months from completion and all the foundational work performed by Freds company has come undone. The cracks are back and the foundation is flaking again. Now Fred is avoiding all of my phone calls and messages for the past 3 months. Fred will come on here and deny all of this but I have dated documentation and photos to prove he is full of it! And this was just 1 of the 4 jobs he did.
BUY BEWARE!!! I hired Fred for 4 jobs within 9 months. This is the second job. After hiring Fred to repair the foundation of my house he was willing to help me with a stone retaining wall which was to included landscape lighting. Fred and his crew came and installed the wall taking less than a day. When the wall was complete I immediately noticed some of the stones were chipped and the lighting was not in the correct spot. Fred assured me that he was going to address the chips and fill in the gaps, then fix the lighting. In the meantime he was hired for job #3, a concrete pad around a pool. He never addressed the gaps and it took him 6 months to come back and move the lights and they are still not in the correct location. Fred will come on here and deny all of this but I have dated documentation and photos to prove he is full of it! And this was just the 2nd of the 4 jobs he did.
Fred Cury doing business aka New England masonry landscaping services and Angel masonry landscape is a crook. He will take your money and not come back to finish the Job. Just be aware if he ask you for cash or bank check. After 2 years trying to have him come back to finish the job. He just ignore it. I had to take him to court and still trying to get my money. SO peoples Be aware he is out there to take your money
Disappears at first issue. It is unfortunate. I have hired Fred several times through his company New England Masonry and Landscape; and had no issues. I hired Fred again with the new company name ;Angels Concrete and Masonry to do a large stamped concrete patio and walkway at my new house. In total the work took 3 days spread over the timespan of 3 months. I got constant excuses for why his guys called out. He tried leaving excavated grass/dirt on my property as though that was normal. Eventually the patio went in. 2 months later it cracked. I called and after 2 weeks I got a call back saying it was ok because there are relief cuts in the concrete. Except that the crack spans both sides of the relief cut. He tells me he will be out next week to take a look at it. That was several weeks ago now and he wont answer calls, show up, or stand by his work. Its unfortunate because all my other projects went well, but this project was very poor, start to finish.
Fred and his men were quick and efficient. I needed someone dependable to redo the concrete between my flagstones and repoint the brick stairs. He did a free estimate and emailed me a proposal the same day, including a three-year warranty. The price he quoted was a little higher than that of others, but they also power washed the bricks, including some extra places that needed it, and even helped shovel the snow on the walkway (we had a foot of snow fall halfway through the project). The flagstone walk and the steps look great now. After several bad experiences with masonry workers, I was glad to get someone who did work in an efficient and professional manner. I’d definitely hire them again.
