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

Why do brick masonry quotes vary from one Linden home to the next?

Four factors set the price: the size of the wall, stoop or step area, the condition of the brick behind it, the type of brick or stone specified, and how easy the work area is to reach. A simple front stoop rebuild on an open lot costs less than detailed work on a tight corner property. The free walkthrough captures all of it before the estimate is written.

What can push the cost of a brick repair up after you visit?

Hidden conditions found once old material comes off. If the brick behind a veneer is loose or the footing has settled, the fix goes beyond the surface and the scope grows. That is why the site walkthrough matters: the crew checks drainage, frost depth and the base before quoting, so the number you get accounts for the work the wall actually needs, not just the visible face.

Can an asphalt driveway in Linden be replaced with pavers?

Yes, and it is one of the most common upgrades in town. The old asphalt is broken out and removed, then the subgrade is regraded and a compacted aggregate base is installed to handle vehicle loads. Bedding sand is screeded to a 1-inch depth, pavers are laid and compacted, and paver edge restraint holds the perimeter. The result handles cars and New Jersey winters without cracking the way asphalt does.

How often do paver driveways need maintenance in this climate?

Very little, if the base was built right. Joints may need a refresh of polymeric sand after a few seasons, and a joint stabilizing sealer can be reapplied to keep the surface locked and resist stains. Efflorescence cleaning clears the whitish mineral haze that sometimes shows on new masonry. Beyond that, a paver driveway in Linden mainly needs occasional sweeping and a check of the edge restraint.

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 Linden

Linden sits in Union County along the Route 1 and 9 corridor, with Newark to the north and Elizabeth to the south. The western residential blocks are classic suburban New Jersey: detached single-family homes, paved front driveways, fenced yards and mature trees between the sidewalks. Many residents commute toward Newark or Manhattan, so the exterior of the house carries the first impression. On these narrow side streets, one upgraded driveway tends to set the tone for the block, and neighbors follow. The crew plans around on-street parking and tight setbacks, because most front driveways here sit within a few feet of the property line.

Why Linden customers need this work

The driveway is the biggest surface on a Linden lot and the one that takes the most punishment, which is why Paver Driveway Installation in Linden leads most projects. The old asphalt comes out, a compacted aggregate base goes in, and the surface is laid with a plate compactor and finished with polymeric sand joints so it stays tight through winter frost. Curb and Edging Installation in Linden draws a clean line where lawn meets pavement, and Brick Masonry Work in Linden handles the stoops, steps and front-entry details that pull the whole facade together. Those three upgrades cover the majority of curb appeal jobs in town.

Why Choose APPLE MASONRY INC for Hardscaper in Linden

Apple Masonry Inc sees Linden, NJ as a curb appeal town. The houses are detached, the driveways run straight from garage to street, and a tired asphalt apron or cracked front walk drags down an otherwise well-kept property. The crew replaces worn surfaces with paver driveways set over a compacted aggregate base, tightens lawn edges with new curbing, and rebuilds the brick entry details that greet visitors at the door. Every job starts with a walkthrough of your lot and a written estimate, so you know the plan before a tool comes off the truck.

Linden homeowners could hire a contractor from Newark or Elizabeth, but the difference shows up in the details on a suburban lot. Front driveways here sit close to the street and the neighbors, so access, parking and debris control get planned before work starts, not improvised afterward. The company runs out of Brooklyn and covers the New Jersey side regularly, with long weekday hours that allow early starts and shorter disruption. Customers point to punctual crews, fair pricing and job sites swept clean at day's end, which counts for a lot when the work zone faces someone's kitchen window.
