"I recently hired Leo’s team (M&L) for a comprehensive landscaping project at my home, which included replacing three walkways with new stone material and improving the garden bed. I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism. They arrived early every morning at 7:30 AM and worked diligently until late in the day. Their dedication to the project was evident in their punctuality and work ethic. One of the most impressive aspects of their work was their adherence to procedures. They followed every step meticulously, ensuring that no detail was overlooked, even those that were not visible on the surface. This attention to detail assured me that the project was not just about appearances but about long-term quality and durability. In addition to their excellent workmanship, Leo’s team proved to be very honest and transparent throughout the entire process. Their quote was reasonable and more competitive than those of other contractors I consulted. This combination of honesty, fair pricing, and exceptional quality made them the clear choice for my project. The transformation of both my backyard and front yard is remarkable. The new stone walkways are beautifully installed and seamlessly blend with the existing landscape. The improved garden bed has brought new life and vibrancy to my yard. Some of my neighbors have stopped at my yard to compliment the beautiful changes, often remarking on how good my yard looks now. Overall, Leo’s team exceeded my expectations in every way. Their commitment to quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction is unparalleled. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs. They truly turned my yard into a stunning, refreshed space."

"AC Stoneworks were awesome! We had them build a paver patio for us. Their pricing is very reasonable and they were responsive, efficient, and friendly. They suggested some excellent ideas during the quoting phase, and were happy to make some adjustments during the work phase. Great to work with!"

"OLD FASHIONED CONTRACTOR PROFESSIONAL VALUES FOR ANY HARDSCAPE, LANDSCAPE OR MASONRY PROJECTS Macauley Brothers Landscape has maintained old-fashioned work values in their approach to their clients and their work. If you need top quality hardscape, masonry or landscaping work done, there is no better choice than Macauley Brothers. I have managed several residential and commercial renovation projects and communicated with numerous contractors over the decades, and Macauley Brothers stands out, because of the superior qualities of their ownership, their office management, their crew chiefs, and their workers. Pride in a job well done with customer satisfaction is a top priority for Macauley Brothers, as if your home was their home. Starting with their responsiveness, reasonableness, and honesty in discussing with you their creative proposals to address your goals; and continuing through scheduling, prepping, completion and billing; you will be impressed with their transparency and follow through . .even when they are very busy. They actually listen to their clients’ requests and provide a cost effective and creative way to meet your objectives if possible within your budgets. As with any business that relies on weather conditions and manufacturer suppliers, there will inevitably be delays and unexpected challenges. But you can be confident that Macauley Brothers will be straight forward with you in trying to minimize the problems from these issues. As the customer, you will be treated with respect, which is why they will become your hardscape, masonry and landscape company of choice through the years, as you improve and renovate your homes., and move to new ones How do I know so much about Macauley Brothers? Because they have done a wide range of challenging hardscape, masonry and landscape projects for two of our family homes in Newton and Brookline over the past 4-5 years. The outside areas of both homes have been totally transformed by Macauley Brothers, substantially enhancing their curb appeal, usability and value. Neighbors and strangers passing by have consistently stopped to praise their work and the impact on the neighborhood. Their fist job was to demolish and rebuild with designer manufactured blocks an engineered retaining wall that was as high as 10’ at its highest. Most other masonry companies were too small, too large or too intimidated to even make a proposal, but Macauley Brothers installed a magnificent wall exceeding engineering standards that has received praises from the engineer and the City of Newton. Macauley Brothers has used a smaller retaining wall to regrade a side yard where they have installed artificial turf to create an amazing playground area for our grandchildren; have created new paver patios, repaired flagstone patios and walkways, and installed beautiful fencing around each. A crumbling front staircase and landing build on a crescent of a hill have been rebuilt by Macauley Brothers into an inviting and impressive durable front entry. In both homes, they have installed beautiful paver and natural stone walkways, patios and landings in striking patterns; applied granite or block steps into the side of a steep hill; and placed cobbles to add style to an asphalt driveway. When possible, they will repair masonry that does not require replacement. Macauley Brothers took construction ravaged front and backyards in Brookline and restored their prior beauty with installed Sod and landscaping. In both houses, the landscaping recommended by Macauley is always appropriate from as aesthetic perspective, as well as suitability for the region, climate, soil condition and sun exposures. In short, if you have a hardscape, masonry or landscape project that is important to you or your family, it would be a mistake not to hire Macauley Brothers if they are available and interested in your project. If you have to wait a few weeks for their schedule, I know that it will be worth the wait."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.

Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).
