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.

He explained everything clearly and delivered exactly what I envisioned. As a demanding customer, I appreciated his patience and his commitment to making sure everything was perfect. The price was fair, the workmanship top-notch, and the efficiency remarkable. If you’re considering any paving, brickwork, or even landscape and gardening projects, I highly recommend Ismael.

Answers before you book
Do I need a permit for a new driveway or patio in Staten Island?
Many driveway and structural hardscape projects in New York City require a permit or filing before work starts, and rules differ by job type. We walk homeowners through the general process during the site walkthrough, flag when a project likely needs approval, and let you know what the borough expects before any digging starts. You get the picture before the estimate is signed.
How does a large Staten Island driveway differ from city jobs?
Scale. A Staten Island driveway often covers more square footage than a full Brooklyn lot, which means more excavation, more aggregate hauled in and more compaction passes. Big surfaces also need deliberate drainage planning, so we set pitch for water movement and build the compacted base in lifts. Done right, a driveway that size handles daily parking for decades.
Can you take on a full backyard build, not just the driveway?
Yes, and Staten Island is where those projects make the most sense. We coordinate patio construction, walkways, retaining walls, fencing and planting so the yard comes together as one plan instead of a series of piecemeal jobs. One crew, one schedule, one cleanup at the end. Start with a free walkthrough and we will lay out the sequence.
What happens if my yard slopes or holds water?
Grade and drainage come up on almost every Staten Island walkthrough. Where a yard slopes, we build retaining walls with proper drainage aggregate behind them; where water pools, we set pitch and use weep holes or permeable options as the site calls for. The site walkthrough exists to catch exactly these conditions before the estimate, not after the dig.
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 Staten Island
Staten Island sits apart from the rest of New York City, reachable by the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge from Brooklyn or the Outerbridge, Goethals and Bayonne crossings from New Jersey. The North Shore neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville and Stapleton hold older Victorian housing, while the South Shore grew up in the 1960s and 1970s as the borough's most suburban stretch. That split matters for hardscaping: South Shore lots are wide enough for full driveways, patios and long fence runs, and the Staten Island Railway corridor runs from St. George down to Tottenville. The borough also carries more than 12,000 acres of protected parkland, which keeps tree cover and drainage on our radar on nearly every job.

Why Staten Island customers need this work
Staten Island homes have the space for work that simply does not fit in the denser boroughs, and that shapes what we build here. Paver Driveway Installation in Staten Island is the anchor service, since detached houses sit on lots that take two cars parked side by side with room to spare. Stone Patio Construction in Staten Island and Backyard Transformations fill out the second half of the work, turning open yards into finished outdoor rooms. Add PVC Fence Installation to close the property line and the job becomes a complete build rather than a patch. Driveways this size live or die on the base, so we plate compact in lifts and set a proper paver edge restraint before a single paver goes down.
Why Choose APPLE MASONRY INC for Hardscaper in Staten Island
Apple Masonry Inc handles the big-lot work Staten Island homeowners call for: wide paver driveways, full backyard builds and fence lines that run the width of a property. Staten Island is the most suburban borough in New York City, so the jobs here have room to breathe. We start with a compacted aggregate base, set pavers to a clean 1-inch screed, and finish with polymeric sand joints so the surface stays tight for years. From the North Shore to the South Shore, every job gets a full cleanup before we call it done.
Most hardscapers working Staten Island cross a bridge to get there. We are based in Brooklyn, minutes from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, so an early start on the island is a short run, not a commute. That matters on large driveway jobs where the crew needs every hour of daylight. Staten Island homeowners also deal with big surfaces: a driveway that takes four cars punishes a thin base, and we build it to spec with drainage aggregate where the grade calls for it. Fair pricing, on-time starts and a site left clean are the standard, and we put that in writing before work begins.
