Masonry & Hardscaping in Staten Island

Hardscaping and masonry providers build patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps, and outdoor kitchens. The quality lives under the surface — the base and drainage decide whether it survives our freeze-thaw winters. The current top-ranked hardscaping pick in this guide is Russo's Landscaping (Best Overall).

See the full ranking Cost factors

What this covers

  • Paver patios
  • Retaining walls
  • Walkways and paths
  • Steps and stoops
  • Driveway pavers
  • Outdoor kitchens and fire features

Who it fits

Homeowners adding outdoor living space, fixing settled or cracked masonry, or holding back a slope.

Local factors on Staten Island

Heavy clay and freeze-thaw heave poorly-built work, and Mid-Island slopes often need engineered retaining walls.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • How deep is the base, and how is drainage handled?
  • For walls: is there footing, drainage, and reinforcement?
  • What's the written scope, including excavation and cleanup?
