Before beginning construction on any landscaping or masonry project, we first meet with you to review your project in detail. We discuss landscaping designs and ideas to understand exactly what you're looking for and then figure out the best way to build it. We make recommendations on the type of stone material to be used such as granite, natural stone, pavers or brick. And, we suggest the paver or brick designs and patterns that would best suit the natural landscape and your taste.

Interlocking paver walkways can radically improve the look of your home and add significant long-term value. Building a stone or interlocking paver walkway into your residence's landscape makes a bold statement about how you value your home. In addition to adding a stately and smart stylishness, it extends an inviting welcome to any residence. Straight, curved, flared, or custom shaped; paver walkways help direct guests, minimize landscape wear and tear, and provide a safe path to your home. Every paver walkway or driveway by Al's Masonry starts with the proper base of compacted gravel and washed concrete sand to ensure proper slope and drainage.

Al's Masonry uses only quality materials from New Hampshire's finest masonry suppliers. Whether brick laying, landscaping with rocks, buildings gardenscapes or any hardscape project, we hand select the stones to ensure the best-of-the-best materials are used with minimal waste.

While some people prefer laying a smaller patio area for bistro style seating, others prefer designing and building an entire outdoor room or even several outdoor rooms. Different sizes, colors and patterns of pavers can be used to delineate your outside space depending on your taste. Kitchen patios can be custom designed with exterior fireplaces, fire pits, or entire outdoor kitchens. When sizing dining patio rooms, consider the size and style of the furniture when estimating space requirements.

Interlocking paver driveways can radically improve the look of your home and add significant long-term value. Interlocking paver driveways add a distinctive elegance and sophistication to any residential landscape. A finished driveway leaves a lasting first impression and imparts an air of affluence to your home's curb appeal. Brick or concrete paving stones for driveways are available in a variety of colors and can be laid in a number of beautiful designs and patterns depending on your particular style.

Imagine a quiet outdoor sitting area where an Adirondack chair and a bubbling water feature welcome you home. Picture a victory garden flanked by a knee-high stone wall or natural stone edging to give it traditional New England charm, or a granite sitting bench neatly tucked away alongside a beautifully landscaped brick walkway. Or maybe even a small pond lined with natural river rocks that a handful of gold fish or koi can call home. If you can envision any outdoor space that can be enhanced with stone, brick or pavers, then you can imagine a garden hardscape.

Al's Masonry works with a number of types of natural stone, brick, manufactured concrete pavers, and granite pavers. We've included some samples here. If you don't see a style, size or color you'd like, just ask us. We can source and work with just about any type of masonry stone available.

In New England, stone walls are part of the fabric of our history. Free standing stone walls were originally used to define agricultural plots and property lines by farmers and wealthy land owners. Good fences made good neighbors, and stone walls made good fences. Today suburban homeowners add natural stone walls to their homes to enhance the visual appeal and functionality of their property. Often they are used as retaining walls, sitting walls, or as part of a homes' garden landscaping. A well groomed hardscape of stone walls, walkways and stone steps can add years of no-maintenance pleasure and value to a home.

Segmented block walls are an alternative to natural stone walls. In place of natural stone, manufactured blocks are used, giving a clean, uniform look to the wall. Some segmented walls can include blocks with straight or beveled face while others can incorporate slight patterns and accent stones for a more polished look. Manufactured blocks come in a number of different sizes and colors, as well as different textures and faces such as cut-face, split-face, or tumbled. Al's Masonry will help you to select the right block to match your style.
