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 is the best season for fence and paving work in Jersey City?

Fence posts and paver bases both go in best from early spring through late fall, when the ground is workable and concrete cures properly. Winter freezes can heave a base that was not compacted right, so we plan base work for warmer months and schedule design discussions and estimates any time of year. Fall bookings fill early, so calling ahead helps.

Can paving work be done in cold weather in Jersey City?

Light repair work can happen in cold months, but new paver installations wait for conditions where bedding sand and polymeric sand joints set correctly. A base installed over frozen ground settles badly when the thaw comes. We would rather schedule the excavation for the right window than rush a job that will not hold.

How does Jersey City's weather affect fence installation?

PVC fence panels themselves handle rain and salt air from the harbor without trouble, but the posts need concrete footings set below the frost depth so they do not heave each winter. That is why we dig footings properly rather than setting shallow posts. Once the footing cures, the fence stays plumb through freeze-thaw cycles.

How long does a typical Jersey City driveway or fence job take?

A narrow rowhouse driveway usually takes a few working days once excavation starts, with the base and edge restraints taking the first day and the pavers and joint sand following. A straight PVC fence line often wraps in a day or two. We confirm timing at the free walkthrough, before any work is booked.

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 Jersey City

Jersey City sits between the Hackensack River and the Hudson, with about 30 miles of waterfront and some of the densest housing in New Jersey. Away from the towers along the waterfront, neighborhoods like Greenville, Bergen and the streets around Van Vorst are still made up of rowhouses, two-families and narrow lots with shared fence lines. Parking is scarce, so a driveway or a paved side yard earns its space. With more than half the households speaking a language other than English at home, the city is one of the most diverse places in the country, and the housing stock ranges from century-old brick to new construction packed into old blocks.

Why Jersey City customers need this work

The housing stock decides which services matter here. PVC fence installation in Jersey City leads the list, since rowhouse and two-family lots depend on shared fence lines that have to run straight across three properties at a time. Paver driveway installation in Jersey City is next, because most homes have a short, narrow strip off the street that still has to carry a car every day, which puts the weight on the compacted aggregate base. Masonry steps and stoops round it out, along with walkway installation for the front paths that connect stoop to sidewalk on nearly every block.

Why Choose APPLE MASONRY INC for Hardscaper in Jersey City

Apple Masonry Inc handles the compact lots and narrow frontages that define Jersey City, from rowhouse fences in Greenville to small paved driveways near Van Vorst. Most properties here ask for the same thing: a fence line that runs true, a surface that drains, and a crew that fits the work into a tight block without disrupting the neighbors. We bring Brooklyn-based crews across the Hudson with the plate compactor, the bedding sand and the edge restraints loaded, and we leave each site swept clean before we pull away.

Jersey City homeowners could hire a local handyman or wait on a big Jersey contractor, but both come with tradeoffs. A handyman rarely builds a paver surface with a compacted base and polymeric sand joints, and a larger company treats a rowhouse fence like a minor job. Apple Masonry Inc does this work every day across the Hudson, so the crew arrives knowing what a narrow Jersey City lot needs: tight equipment access, straight fence lines, and a schedule that respects the block. Early starts and six-day availability keep projects moving.
