Stone Masonry & Hardscape is a Lynn outdoor-construction contractor offering landscaping, hardscaping, masonry, asphalt, concrete, retaining walls, patios, and related driveway work. Thumbtack describes a 21-year business with a crew of 10, while the Houzz profile lists four projects and a broad hardscape and masonry service menu. Recent Thumbtack customers describe prompt estimates, punctual crews, responsive communication, reasonable pricing, retaining-wall replacement, asphalt work, and a patio completed in a week and a half. One recent Houzz reviewer reports the opposite outcome: a driveway was crumbling and growing weeds, and four outreach attempts received no response. The platforms therefore show a mostly favorable but not uniform recent picture. Before booking, confirm the written scope, materials, drainage or paving specifications, warranty, and how callbacks are handled if a driveway or hardscape surface fails. The company appears suited to homeowners seeking outdoor landscaping, masonry, patios, retaining walls, and paving. Ask for project-specific references and a clear correction process.
Do not hire. Had my driveway paved last fall and it is crumbling, failing, weeds growing through it. I reached out to Elmer 4 times now about the issues I am having and he hasn’t responded once.
Easy to work with. Elmer came out quickly to discuss the Patio project and gave a competitive quote. Work was scheduled within a week and a 14X20 Patio was build in 1.5 days. They did a great job cleaning up after the job. Highly recommended.
Elmer and his crew did a fantastic job replacing a 55ft retaining wall. Exceeded expectations and at a reasonable price. Will be hiring him for my next project!
I have nothing but high praise for the quality of work that Elmer and his workers provided. Elmer responded immediately to all of my questions and addressed any concerns that I had. I received eight different estimates for my project and Elmer was the only professional who did not attempt to over charge me. He was honest and trustworthy.
Very happy with the work Elmer and his team did on our large yard landscaping project with Asphalt. It was very big project but they did it professionally without many delays or issues. They were reachable always and responsive.
