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

Do I need a permit for a stone patio in West New York?

Most towns in New Jersey, West New York included, review hardscape work like patios, walls and steps before construction starts. The exact requirements depend on the size and scope of the project, so we recommend confirming with the town's building department before any work begins. As part of our process we walk the property first, scope the job, and let you know what kind of approvals to expect. We build to the plan, and we keep the paperwork side straightforward for you.

How do you handle a patio on a steep West New York slope?

A sloped yard usually means a stone patio gets built either as a cut-in terrace or as a raised platform held by a seat wall or retaining wall. On Palisades-grade lots we dig down to stable ground, lay a compacted aggregate base, and build the wall section with drainage aggregate behind it so water never pushes on the block. Every step of the layout gets checked during the free site walkthrough so you know exactly what the finished patio will look like.

How do you get materials onto a tight hillside property?

A lot of West New York lots have no rear access, so we plan it during the walkthrough. Sometimes we bring material down a side yard by hand or with a small machine, sometimes we stage on the street and coordinate timing. The site gets a plan before the first pallet shows up, which keeps your neighbors' block on Bergenline Avenue from being blocked longer than it has to be.

Will a patio built on a slope hold up over winter?

It holds up when the base is done right, and that is where most failures happen. Water trapped under or behind hardscape freezes and pushes things out of level, so we set the base below frost depth, compact it in lifts, and give the surface enough pitch to shed water. Polymeric sand joints and a paver edge restraint keep the field tight. Do that, and a Palisades-grade patio stays put through freeze and thaw year after year.

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 West New York

West New York packs more than 52,000 people into just under one square mile on the Palisades in Hudson County, making it one of the densest towns in the country. That density shows in the lots: narrow, stacked, and steep, with the town sitting at the highest point in the county. Boulevard East carries the high-rise skyline along the Hudson, Bergenline Avenue is the main commercial strip, and the Hudson Waterfront, known historically as Bulls Ferry, has been redeveloped with the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. Neighbors include Guttenberg, North Bergen, Union City and Weehawken, with Manhattan across the river.

Why West New York customers need this work

The Palisades grade shapes every job here. Retaining wall construction in West New York keeps soil where it belongs instead of letting it slide toward a neighbor's line, so walls get drainage aggregate and weep holes that keep water from building up behind the block. Masonry steps and stoops in West New York carry heavy daily use on blocks of multi-family homes, and walkway installation has to shed water correctly on a slope rather than pool against a foundation. We also handle paver repair and replacement where earlier work was laid without edge restraint or a compacted base.

Why Choose APPLE MASONRY INC for Hardscaper in West New York

Apple Masonry Inc builds for the hillside lots of West New York, NJ. Many backyards here drop several feet from house line to fence line because the town sits on the Palisades above the Hudson River. We build retaining wall construction, masonry steps and stoops, and walkway installation that handles that grade: compacted aggregate base set below frost depth, walls tied into the slope, and steps set on solid footings. From Bergenline Avenue up to the Boulevard East high-rises, we know what a West New York slope asks of masonry, and we build for it.

Crews based deeper in Brooklyn or farther out in New Jersey treat West New York as a drive, and the travel shows up in the quote. We build gravity walls and segmental retaining wall block systems suited to slopes like the Palisades, and the estimate is free with straight pricing and no pressure. Narrow streets where a skid steer barely fits, properties stacked up the grade, side yards you carry material through by hand: we plan for all of it before the first pallet arrives, and the site gets swept clean before we leave.
