Professional paver installation designed for Massachusetts weather, installed right the first time.
You get a patio or walkway that handles everything New England throws at it. No shifting pavers after the first winter. No pooling water that turns into skating rinks. No calling us back in two years because corners were cut.
The right pavers, installed with proper base preparation and drainage, give you decades of reliable outdoor space. You’ll have the patio where your family actually wants to spend time. The walkway that looks professional, not like a DIY project gone wrong.
Your neighbors will notice. More importantly, you’ll stop worrying about whether your investment was worth it.
Academy Masonry has been handling paver installations throughout Uphams Corner and the greater Dorchester area for years. We understand the soil conditions here. We know what winter does to poorly installed pavers.
Most importantly, we know the difference between doing the job fast and doing it right. Every installation starts with proper excavation and base preparation because that’s what determines whether your pavers are still level in five years.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. When you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this area.
First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade for drainage. This isn’t negotiable. Poor drainage kills paver projects in Massachusetts, so we make sure water moves away from your home and doesn’t pool on the surface.
Next comes the base layer. We use the right materials, properly compacted, because this is what keeps your pavers from shifting. Most problems you see with paver patios trace back to shortcuts taken here.
Then we set the pavers with proper spacing and joint sand. We check levels constantly and make adjustments as we go. The final step is compaction and sealing if needed.
You get a walkthrough when we’re done so you know what to expect and how to maintain your new pavers.
