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.

Review for Ismael’s Paving and Landscaping Services aka APPLE I recently had Ismael and his team work on my home’s driveway, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results.

Answers before you book

How do you get materials and equipment into a Hoboken backyard with no alley access?

Most Hoboken rowhouse yards are reached through the house or a narrow side passage, so the crew plans it at the walkthrough. Small materials like bedding sand and pavers get carried in by hand; larger items are scheduled for delivery windows that work with the street. Plate compactors and compact tools fit through standard doorways. The plan is set before any work starts, so there are no surprises halfway through the job.

Can a patio actually fit my narrow Hoboken rear yard?

In most cases, yes. Hoboken yards run narrow and deep, which suits a single-flagstone or paver surface running the width of the lot, sometimes with a seat wall along one edge. The walkthrough measures the space, checks drainage fall toward the house or rear, and confirms where water goes before anything is laid. You get a straight answer on what fits and what the layout options are before committing.

What does a stoop repair involve on an older Hoboken rowhouse?

The crew inspects whether the stoop failed at the surface or at the footing. Hoboken's older stoops often have footings that were never poured below frost depth, so seasonal movement cracks the masonry year after year. A proper rebuild means new concrete footings, sound brick or stone work above, and joints tooled to shed water. Smaller repairs, like repointing or resetting loose treads, are recommended when the structure underneath is still solid.

How does the estimate work for a small Hoboken job?

Free estimates and site walkthroughs are scheduled six days a week, Monday through Saturday. For Hoboken, the visit covers access, measurements, drainage and material choices in one trip, then you receive a written price with no obligation. Small stoop repairs and full patio builds go through the same process, so you know the cost and the sequence of work before a single paver is lifted. Call (347) 836-3855 to book.

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 Hoboken

Hoboken packs roughly 60,000 people into about 1.25 square miles, making it one of the densest small cities in the country. That density shapes every hardscape job. Most housing is rowhouses and converted multi-family buildings with narrow rear yards, shared party walls and stoops that take weather year after year. The Hudson Waterfront runs the length of the town, with Hoboken Terminal at the southern end and the Castle Point district rising toward Stevens Institute of Technology on the bluffs above. Many blocks sit close to the river, so drainage and frost-depth footings matter on every build. Crews also work the streets north toward the Heights, where yard access often means carrying materials through a house or down a shared alley.

Why Hoboken customers need this work

Hoboken's housing stock makes small-space hardscape the priority work. Stone Patio Construction in Hoboken turns narrow rear yards into usable space with flagstone or paver surfaces sized to the lot, often with a seat wall to double as seating and a boundary. Masonry Steps and Stoops in Hoboken is constant demand, since the city's older rowhouse stoops take freeze-thaw damage and need rebuilding with concrete footings poured below frost depth. Walkway Installation in Hoboken covers the front paths and side passages that connect stoop to sidewalk on tight lots. Dense, walkable, and almost entirely townhouses, the city rewards crews who can do precise work in small footprints, not wide suburban builds.

Why Choose APPLE MASONRY INC for Hardscaper in Hoboken

Apple Masonry Inc builds patios, stoops and walkways across Hoboken, NJ, where almost every job is a tight townhouse lot. A one-square-mile city means material deliveries get scheduled around narrow streets and limited staging space, and the crew plans each job that way. Flagstone patios squeezed onto rear courtyards, brownstone-style stoops rebuilt with proper footings, pavers cut clean around railings and planters. Every job ends with the site broomed and the debris hauled out, because in Hoboken the neighbors are ten feet away and they notice.

Hoboken homeowners could call Jersey City or Manhattan crews, but the logistics favor a Brooklyn shop that already works dense, tight-access blocks every day. The crew knows how to stage materials on narrow streets, schedule deliveries that respect the neighborhood, and fit a full patio rebuild into a rear yard you can cross in six steps. Early starts and six-day availability mean a stoop that's crumbling before winter gets looked at fast, not three weeks out. Pricing is stated plainly before work begins, and cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought. That combination is what gets the crew called back along the Mile Square City's blocks.
