Professional paver installation that handles New England weather and creates the entertaining space you actually want.
Your cracked concrete problems disappear. Water drains properly instead of pooling and freezing. You get a patio that looks intentional, not like an afterthought.
The space becomes somewhere you want to spend time. Morning coffee, evening dinners, weekend gatherings – your outdoor area finally works the way you pictured it. No more apologizing for how it looks or worrying about guests slipping on uneven surfaces.
Most importantly, you stop thinking about it. The installation is done right, the materials handle our weather, and you move on to enjoying the space instead of managing problems.
Academy Masonry has been installing pavers in East Cambridge for years. We know the soil conditions, the drainage challenges, and what materials actually last here.
You’re not getting someone who learned the trade last month. Our team understands proper base preparation, grade requirements, and how to handle the quirks that come with older neighborhood properties.
We’re local, licensed, and focused on installations that work long-term. No shortcuts, no surprises, no coming back to fix problems that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
We start with a site visit to assess your space, drainage, and access. No generic estimates – we look at your specific situation and explain what needs to happen.
Excavation comes next. We remove existing materials, establish proper grade, and prepare the base. This part determines whether your pavers last decades or start shifting in two years. We compact in lifts, check levels, and don’t rush.
Installation follows our preparation. Each paver gets set properly, joints are filled correctly, and edges are secured. We clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you.
You get a patio that drains properly, looks professional, and handles whatever weather comes next. The process takes a few days, but the results last for decades.
Ready to get started?
Complete excavation and proper base preparation. We don’t build on top of existing problems – everything gets done right from the ground up. Proper drainage solutions that work with East Cambridge’s soil and weather patterns.
Professional-grade materials that handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or shifting. We source pavers that look good initially and stay that way. Installation includes edge restraints, joint sand, and proper compaction.
Cleanup and final inspection. Your property gets returned to better condition than when we started. We explain maintenance requirements and answer questions about what to expect as the installation settles.
