Professional paver installation that handles freeze-thaw cycles, looks great for decades, and adds real value to your Newton Center home.
You get a patio, driveway, or walkway that looks better than concrete and performs better too. No more worrying about cracks every spring or water pooling after storms.
Pavers handle Newton Center’s weather because they move with the ground instead of fighting it. When one settles, you replace that section – not the whole surface. Your neighbors notice the difference immediately.
The real benefit shows up years later when your pavers still look sharp while concrete surfaces around town are cracking and staining. That’s the difference between doing it right once and doing it over.
Academy Masonry has been installing pavers in Newton Center and surrounding communities for over a decade. We understand how local soil conditions affect paver performance and what installation techniques work best here.
Most paver failures happen because of poor base preparation or drainage issues. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this area. Our installations account for Newton Center’s clay soil and seasonal ground movement.
You’re working with contractors who live in this area and have to drive past our work every day. That keeps us honest and focused on quality that lasts.
First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade for drainage. Most problems start here – if water doesn’t drain away from your pavers, you’ll have issues within a few years.
Next comes the base preparation. We install and compact crushed stone in lifts, not all at once. This creates a stable foundation that won’t settle unevenly. Then we add a leveling layer of sand and screed it perfectly flat.
Paver installation follows, with proper edge restraints to prevent spreading. We sweep polymeric sand into the joints and compact everything. The result is a surface that moves as one unit but allows individual repair when needed.

Every paver installation includes proper excavation, engineered base preparation, and professional-grade materials. We source pavers from established manufacturers who stand behind their products.
You also get installation that accounts for Newton Center’s specific challenges. Our base preparation handles clay soil conditions and seasonal ground movement. Drainage design prevents the ice and water damage that destroy other surfaces.
The installation comes with clear expectations about settling, maintenance, and long-term performance. We explain what’s normal and what isn’t, so you know when to call us and when everything’s working as designed.
