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.

About Brick Masonry Work
Common questions and tips from our work with Brooklyn customers.
What should I clear before the masonry crew arrives?
Move anything leaning against the wall or work area, including planters, bikes and trash bins. If the job runs along a fence line or side yard in Brooklyn, trim back branches so we have room to stage brick and mix mortar. A hose bib nearby helps for mortar work. We handle the rest, including dropping boards and protecting surrounding surfaces before the first brick goes down.
Do I need permits or approval for a new brick wall?
Low garden and boundary walls usually fall outside permit requirements, but anything taller or structural can trigger NYC rules, and co-op or condo boards often want approval first. We walk the site, explain what your project likely needs, and tell you plainly before work starts. Never guess on the paperwork. Ask us during the free estimate and we will point you in the right direction.
How long does brick mortar take to cure?
Mortar gains most of its strength within about 28 days, but it is firm enough for normal handling within 24 to 48 hours. In cold weather, below roughly 40 degrees Fahrenheit, masons protect fresh work with blankets because frost weakens the bond. We schedule brickwork around the forecast and tell you when it is safe to lean on the wall or backfill against it.
Match brick by size, color and bond
Older Brooklyn brick often has no exact match on the market today, so good repair work starts with salvage or a close blend from several pallets. Bond pattern matters too. Running bond, stack bond and Flemish bond all read differently at a glance. We lay a test panel when matching is tight, so you approve the look before the whole wall goes up.
Can you match the brick on my older Brooklyn home?
Usually yes. We source reclaimed brick from salvage yards and blend shades from different pallets until the patch disappears into the wall. Mortar color and joint profile matter as much as the brick itself. A flush joint on a 1920s rowhouse reads differently than a concave joint, so we tool the new lines to match the old ones. Bring photos if you have them.
Answers before you 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.
Can you repair an existing paver surface instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Sunken or rocking pavers usually point to base or bedding sand problems underneath, and we can pull the affected stones, rebuild that section, and reset them to match. If the whole base failed, we will tell you that straight and price a proper rebuild.
What are your hours for scheduling and questions?
We answer calls Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM, and Saturday from 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Sundays we are closed. Early morning calls work well if you want to schedule a Brooklyn area walkthrough before your own workday starts.
