Hand-Built hardscape projects in Medford

A hardscape contractor that knows Medford

Medford is Colonial country — and the masonry that frames a property here has to respect that. We build hardscape projects for homes throughout West Medford and Medford Square, with material choices and detailing that fit the local architecture. Medford has a high concentration of original 1900s brick chimneys.

JL Masonry has been serving Medford homeowners for over 15 years. Our crews understand the victorian aesthetic that dominates West Medford, and we stock material samples that match Medford's historic vocabulary.
