Home / Walkways & Steps
The first thing anyone walks on. Built flat, safe in the rain and squared to the house.
What we do
A walkway takes more abuse than any other surface on the property. Foot traffic, snow shovels, plow edges, road salt, and the freeze and thaw cycle working on it every single winter. It is also the piece everyone looks at from the street.
We set walks on the same base we use for a patio, hold a consistent width off the house line, and keep the risers on entry steps even from the first to the last. Uneven risers are the reason people trip on a set of stairs, so we lay them out on paper before anything is cut.
Our standard
Included
One crew from the excavation to the final sweep, so nothing gets lost between trades.
The main approach from the driveway or street, in paver, bluestone or cobble, with a border that keeps the line crisp.
Solid granite treads set on a compacted base, the standard around here for an entry that never moves.
Thermal bluestone landings and treads, dry laid or set on concrete, for a flat surface that lasts.
Stepping stone runs and narrow service paths connecting the front to the back yard without cutting through the lawn.
Rebuilding failed concrete stoops in stone, including the wing walls and rail posts.
Granite mailbox posts and stone bases set plumb and deep enough to stay that way.
How we work
We look at the grade, the drainage and the access, take measurements and talk through material and color options with samples.
Scope, base depth, material, square footage and price, in writing, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else.
We excavate, build, clean up daily, then walk the finished job with you and go over how to care for it.

Questions
Four feet lets two people walk side by side and suits most homes. We go wider on larger houses and long approaches, and narrower on a tight side path. We mark it out on site so you can see it before we dig.
In this climate, yes. Solid granite has no seams to fail and no surface to spall from salt. A concrete stoop typically needs work within fifteen years. Granite outlives the house.
Often, yes. If the stone is in good shape and only a section has settled, we can lift it, rebuild the base and reset the same material. If the base was never right, rebuilding is the cheaper answer over time.
We keep a slight forward pitch on treads so water drains instead of pooling, and recommend surfaces with texture at entries. Bluestone and granite both give good footing when they are set to drain.

This company was both professional and efficient, completing our large landscaping/ land clearing project in one day. They left the area clean and free of debris. We would definitely hire the again! Thank you so much for your hard work!
Leo and his crew did a stellar job transforming the exterior steps and repointing the existing pavers. Working with Leo from the estimate through the final walk through was a seamless and pleasant experience. L&V has competitive pricing compared to other masonry and contruction companies in the area. Leo’s attention to detail and thoroughness made us feel like valued customers. Leo and his crew were punctual with their arrival times and kept us informed along the way. I strongly recommend L&V Masonry & Contruction Corp for your home improvement needs. This was a 5/5 experience and I would use them again in the future. Thanks L&V!
L&V Masonry did a wonderful job with my backyard patio! Leo was very responsive and excellent to work with. I am very happy with their work and would highly recommend!
HL Masonry did an amazing job at our house. We recently bought an above ground pool and we wanted do have a retaining wall, a path to the pool and some privacy trees. After getting a few quotes, HL Mansory was the best price. They show up on time, answered all of our questions and we also did some additional work with them. They were very professional and respectful. We highly recommend them.
Leo and his team were professional and did great work. Received a quote Friday, work was completed the next day. Easy communication and could not be happier with the work done. Extension of our paver walkway looks great!
I would like to register my huge thanks and praise for the impeccable work done by the HL MANSORY team. The professionalism, attention to detail and the quality of the execution were simply exceptional. Each step of the masonry service was done with precision and whimsy, exceeding all my expectations. My house has gained a new look and more value, all thanks to the talent and dedication of these true construction masters. I recommend with my eyes closed!
Leo at hl restored the masonry on my 125 year old home. His work was professionally done in a timely fashion- thank you Leo!!
HL Masonry did a fantastic job giving our old concrete stairs a much needed face lift. Professionalism and great attention to detail were evident from start to finish and the pricing was better than any competitor. We’ve already referred a friend for a free estimate.
Leo was fantastic to work with. He was super responsive on the phone and text, and was very clean and tidy. I called him on a Thursday and the job was done by Sunday. I would definitely work with him and HL Masonry again.
Professional, courteous, skilled. Love my retaining wall. Thank you!
