Professional paver installation that increases your property value and gives you the outdoor space you actually want to use.
Your outdoor space becomes the part of your home you use most. No more looking at cracked concrete or uneven surfaces that make you cringe every time you pull into your driveway.
Quality paver installation means you’re done dealing with settling, cracking, and constant repairs. The right materials installed correctly handle Massachusetts winters without the headaches that come with cheaper alternatives.
You get increased property value that shows up when it matters most. But more importantly, you get outdoor spaces that actually work for your family – whether that’s entertaining guests or just having a place that looks good when you come home each day.
Academy Masonry has been handling paver installations in Shirley and surrounding Massachusetts communities for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.
The difference comes down to knowing local soil conditions, proper base preparation, and using materials that can handle freeze-thaw cycles without failing. We’ve seen what happens when corners get cut, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the work right the first time.
Our team focuses on residential paving projects where quality matters more than speed. When you’re investing in your property, you want contractors who understand that this needs to last decades, not just look good for the first few months.
Every paving installation starts with proper excavation and base preparation. This isn’t the glamorous part, but it’s what determines whether your pavers will still look perfect in ten years or start settling and shifting within two.
We excavate to the correct depth, install and compact the base materials in lifts, and ensure proper drainage before any pavers go down. The base work takes longer than most contractors want to spend, but it’s what separates professional installation from work that fails early.
Once the base is ready, we install pavers according to your design, maintain proper spacing and alignment, and finish with edge restraints and joint sand. The final step involves compacting everything together so your new surface is immediately ready for normal use.
You’ll know the job is done right when there’s no settling, no shifting, and drainage works exactly as it should. That’s what proper paving installation looks like when the work is finished.

Your paver installation includes complete site preparation, proper base materials, professional installation, and cleanup. We handle permits if required and coordinate material delivery to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Every project includes proper edge restraints, joint sand, and initial compaction. We also provide guidance on maintenance requirements and can recommend sealing schedules if that’s something you want to consider down the road.
The work comes with warranty coverage on both materials and installation. If something isn’t right, we’ll fix it. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Shirley and why homeowners trust us with their outdoor improvement projects.
