RG Masonry Landscape Construction Excavation is a masonry, landscape, and excavation company based in Rowley, Massachusetts, run by Ramon and serving Essex County and Eastern Massachusetts towns including Rowley, Newbury, and Newburyport. The company describes itself as having over 12 years of industry experience. Homeowners describe a strong, detailed track record of stonework: rebuilding broken front stairs and a buckling retaining wall from scratch after clearing overgrown brush, an all-stone patio, chimney repointing and a fireplace, and front steps and walkways. Several reviewers say they have hired Ramon and his crew for multiple projects over the years and specifically praise his direct communication throughout each job. Reviewers also consistently describe the crew as clean, fast, and organized, with several calling out fair or competitive pricing. Worth asking about before booking: a 2025 review describes a dispute where, a couple of days into a larger job at an agreed price, the contractor asked for more money and then stopped returning calls and texts — a notable exception to the otherwise consistent praise for responsiveness and fair pricing. For a homeowner in the Rowley-Newburyport area planning stonework such as steps, retaining walls, a patio, or chimney repair, this is a well-reviewed, detail-oriented option, though it is worth confirming pricing and scope clearly in writing before work begins given the one pricing dispute on record.
Trust worthy, reliable and punctual overall Ramon is a fantastic contractor. He delivers projects on time with precision. I highly recommend him for all the construction needs especially excavation
I recently hired RG Masonry to redo my front stairs and retaining wall and they did an awesome job! The existing stairs were broken, retaining wall was buckling and everything had gotten overgrown from lack of use/care. Ramon and crew ripped out and disposed of all the overgrown bushes, stairs and retaining wall and started from a clean slate. The new stairs and wall look great, the crew was efficient, and they cleaned up everything really well before leaving. Ramon was my main contact and he was super easy to work with—very professional, always kept me updated, and made sure everything went smoothly. Couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Definitely recommend RG Masonry if you need any masonry work done!
RG Masonry has done three projects for us (New front stairs & walk way/new fireplace/repointing of chimney) All work is done professionally and looks great. Ramon’s communication is top notch! I highly recommend Ramon and his team!
We’ve known Ramon for years and he has done various projects at our home including, landscaping, walkways and chimney work. His work is excellent, he quotes appropriately and is on time.
Hired him to do a big job. Agreed on price and 2 days into the work, and he wants more money. Very unprofessional. Won’t return my texts or calls. Would not recommend this business!!
