**Trade:** Masonry · **Address:** 7 Hillcroft Ave, Worcester, MA 01606 · **Phone:** (508) 889-8626 · **Website:** https://www.newenglandstoneworks.com/ · **Languages:** English

## The honest read

New England Stoneworks is a Worcester-based masonry contractor. Its website says Brian Smith leads the business with his crew and two sons, launched the company in 1990, and has 35 years in the trade; the company says it serves Worcester and parts of Cape Cod. Its stated work includes custom fireplaces, chimneys, stone walls, veneers, walkways, patios, and related stonework.

The two available Google reviews are both from January and February 2024 and are strongly positive. One reviewer praised professional, personable, responsive service, detailed work, accountability, quick follow-through, and competitive pricing. Another described several completed projects—brick patio, slate base and path to an outdoor shower, a brick-walk relaying, landscaping rocks, and stones for parking areas—and said the work and design counsel exceeded expectations. Google reports 4.3 stars from six ratings.

The written review history points most clearly to outdoor masonry and hardscape projects, with repeat work from at least one homeowner. The website also presents the company as capable of fireplaces, chimneys, walls, veneers, walkways, and patios, though those offerings are self-described rather than independently reviewed here.

New England Stoneworks is a reasonable fit for homeowners seeking custom masonry, patios, walkways, walls, or related stonework in its stated service area. Before booking, confirm the exact scope, design plan, materials, schedule, pricing, and current references; the available detailed reviews describe 2024 projects, so a recent project portfolio or reference would help confirm present-day availability and workmanship.

**Strengths:**
- Masonry projects — reviewers describe patios, walks, walls, and landscape stonework
- Design guidance — one homeowner praised the company’s design counsel
- Responsive service — reviewer cited quick follow-through and accountability

**Concerns:**
- Recent references — detailed reviews describe 2024 projects
- Project scope — confirm materials, timing, pricing, and current availability
