About
Apple Masonry Inc does paver driveway installation, paver repair and replacement, and brick masonry work across Brooklyn. We also build patios, walkways, retaining walls and fences throughout the boroughs and into Jersey City, Hoboken and Newark. Every job starts with a site walkthrough and a straight quote. We show up when we say we will, cut the pavers clean, and leave the property tidy. That is the whole pitch.
The crew works out of Brooklyn and handles hardscaping and masonry across the boroughs and into northern New Jersey. Most of the week is driveways, patios, walkways and fences, but the trade runs deeper than that. A paver driveway that lasts starts under the surface, with a compacted aggregate base set to the right frost depth, bedding sand screeded to a consistent 1-inch depth, and a paver edge restraint locked in before the plate compactor ever touches the field.
Joints get polymeric sand so weeds stay out and the pattern stays tight. Retaining walls get drainage aggregate behind them, and taller runs get geogrid reinforcement so the wall pushes back against the hill instead of the soil. Brick and chimney repair starts with finding why the wall failed, not just patching the face. Customers in Brooklyn and Queens tend to mention the same things in reviews: we showed up on time, the price matched the quote, and the site was spotless when the truck pulled away.
That matters more to us than any superlative. If you want to talk through a project, we do free estimates and site walkthroughs, and we answer the phone from 6 in the morning, six days a week.

Answers before you book
What drives the cost of a retaining wall in the Bronx?
Wall cost comes down to height, length and what the slope is doing. A taller gravity wall on a steep west Bronx lot needs segmental retaining wall block, geogrid reinforcement and drainage aggregate behind it, which means more material and excavation. Access matters too. A yard reachable only through a narrow side passage takes more labor than one with street access. We measure all of it during the free site walkthrough before quoting.
Can you match the brick on an older Bronx house?
Usually, yes. Much of the Bronx housing stock is older brick, so matching color, texture and mortar joint profile is a regular part of our brick masonry work. We source brick and mix mortar to blend with what is already standing, whether it is a chimney repair, a repointed wall section or new steps tied into an existing facade, so the repair reads as part of the original wall.
Do you handle stoop and step repairs on Bronx hillside properties?
That is a core part of our work here. Sloped lots mean steps and stoops carry real structural load, so we build on proper concrete footings set below frost depth and check drainage around the base. Cracked treads, settling stoops and loose brick get repaired or rebuilt depending on what the site walk shows. We give you an honest read on whether repair or full replacement makes more sense.
How do you keep water from damaging a new wall or patio?
Drainage is built in from the start. Behind every retaining wall we install drainage aggregate and weep holes so water never builds up pressure against the block. Patios and walkways get a 1/4-inch-per-foot pitch to shed water away from the house, and joints are filled with polymeric sand to stay locked. Water is what destroys masonry, so we plan for it before the first block is set.
What determines the cost of a paver driveway or patio job?
Square footage, the amount of excavation needed, access to the site, and the material you pick all move the number. A Brooklyn driveway with tight side-yard access and old concrete to haul away costs more than an open, clear yard. Every estimate is priced after a site walkthrough, so you get a real number, not a guess.
How is an estimate put together?
We walk the property with you, measure the area, check drainage and access, and talk through material options. Then we price the excavation, the compacted aggregate base, the pavers or stone, and the cleanup as one clear quote. Estimates are free, and there is no obligation attached.
What areas does Apple Masonry serve?
The crew is based in Brooklyn, NY and works across the five boroughs, including Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island. We also take jobs in Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, Linden and West New York. If you are close to one of those, call (347) 836-3855 and ask.
How do I arrange a site visit?
Call (347) 836-3855 or request a walkthrough through the site. We will set a time to come out, look at the work in person, and go over options with you on the spot. Most visits take under an hour, and you get a written estimate afterward.
How soon can work be scheduled?
It depends on the season and the size of the job. Smaller repairs and fence installs often get slotted in faster than a full driveway build, which needs consecutive dry days. During the walkthrough we will give you a realistic start date and keep to it.
What should I do to prepare for the job?
Move vehicles off the driveway and clear the work area of furniture, planters and hoses. Let neighbors on tight Brooklyn blocks know about equipment if access runs through a shared space. We handle the rest, including protecting planting beds and hauling away debris.
What happens on the first day of a paver installation?
The crew stakes out the layout, excavates to the right depth, and starts building the compacted aggregate base. Equipment is staged, edges are set, and by the end of day one you can see the exact footprint of the finished surface. We check in with you before any surprises get decided for you.
Do you clean up the site when the job is done?
Every job ends with a full cleanup. Debris gets hauled, paver dust gets swept, polymeric sand joints get their final pass, and lawns get raked where equipment crossed. Customers regularly mention the tidy site in reviews, and we plan on keeping it that way.

Serving Bronx
The Bronx is the only borough on the mainland, bordering Westchester County to the north, with the Hudson River and Manhattan across the Harlem River to the west. The Bronx River splits the borough into a hillier western half and a flatter eastern side, and that grade difference drives a lot of our wall and step work. Neighborhoods like Riverdale, Fieldston, Spuyten Duyvil, Pelham Bay, Morris Park and Country Club sit on higher ground with mature housing stock, much of it brick. Roughly a quarter of the borough is open space, including Woodlawn Cemetery, Van Cortlandt Park, Pelham Bay Park and the New York Botanical Garden, so front yards and fence lines matter to homeowners here.

Why Bronx customers need this work
Sloped lots and older brick are the two things that make Bronx hardscape different. West Bronx streets climb, so Retaining Wall Construction in Bronx has to account for grade, drainage aggregate and geogrid reinforcement, not just stack block. Much of the borough's housing dates back decades, so Brick Masonry Work in Bronx means repointing, matching existing brick and repairing chimney and wall damage the right way. Masonry Steps and Stoops in Bronx also comes up constantly on hillside properties. We build flat work and walls with a compacted aggregate base and polymeric sand joints so the results last through freeze and thaw.
