About Landscaping Services
Common questions and tips from our work with Brooklyn customers.
What signs mean my yard needs landscaping work?
Watch for low spots that hold water after rain, soil that has washed away from fence lines and foundations, beds overrun with weeds, and grass that thins out no matter how much you water it. Uneven ground that trips people up is another one. Any of these in a Brooklyn yard usually means grading or soil work is due before planting anything new.
Why hire the hardscape crew for landscaping too?
Because the yard work and the build affect each other. A patio needs the surrounding grade pitched away from it, fence posts need backfill that drains, and beds need to be shaped before edging goes in. When one crew handles both, nobody blames the other crew for a drainage problem. You also get one schedule, one estimate and one cleanup at the end.
Should landscaping be finished before or after pavers?
Grading and soil work come first, always. Rough grading happens before the base for pavers or walls goes in, and fine grading plus planting comes after the hardscape is done. Sod and seed go in last so they are not trampled by equipment. A yard should sit within a couple inches of its final grade before any bedding sand or concrete footing work starts.
Fix drainage before you spend on plants
A new lawn or bed planted over a low spot will wash out within a season. Standing water that lingers more than 24 hours after rain is a sign the grade is wrong. Re-grading with proper pitch, roughly 1/4 inch per foot away from the house, costs less than replacing dead sod every year. Handle the drainage first, then plant.
Do you haul away yard debris after the work?
Yes. Soil, old sod, roots, branches and construction debris from the hardscape side of the job all get loaded and hauled. Cleanup is part of how we work, not an add-on. Customers across Brooklyn and Queens consistently mention the site being left tidy, and that standard applies to every landscaping job the same as a full patio build.
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.
