Masonry in Jamaica

The Stonework That Gives a Yard Its Bones

Every well-finished property has two sides: the living part and the built part. Your trees, lawn, and beds bring it to life — but it’s the masonry that gives it structure, function, and a finished feel that holds year-round. Greenstar Tree handles both, bringing the same care and craftsmanship to your hardscaping that we bring to your trees.


As a family-owned business serving Jamaica Plain since 1996, we build the full range of hardscaping across Suffolk County — retaining and garden walls, walkways, steps, and patios — with state-of-the-art equipment and an eye for doing it right. Because we handle tree work, clearing, and building all under one roof, we can take on your masonry as part of a bigger project: clear the ground, build the stonework, and finish the landscape around it, all with one trusted local crew. And because solid masonry starts below the surface, we prepare a proper base so your work lasts through New England winters.

What We Build

From a garden border to a full patio, here’s the masonry we handle:

Stone & Retaining Walls – Structural and decorative walls that hold slopes, define space, and add lasting character.

Walkways & Paths – Stone walkways that guide movement through the property and lift its curb appeal.

Steps – Sturdy, safe outdoor steps for slopes, entrances, and multi-level yards.

Patios – Stone patios that turn unused space into a spot for relaxing and entertaining.

Borders & Edging – Clean stone borders that frame beds and separate your spaces.

Proper Base Preparation – Every project goes on a solid, well-drained foundation so it lasts.

Benefits of Professional Masonry & Hardscaping


Quality stonework is the part of a landscape that pays you back the longest:

Adds Lasting Structure – Masonry gives the yard permanent shape and definition that plantings can’t.

Built to Last – On a proper base, real stonework shrugs off weather and New England winters for years.

Creates Usable Outdoor Space – A patio or a leveled, walled area turns dead corners into places you’ll use.

Handles Slopes & Drainage – Retaining walls and proper paving manage grade and water instead of fighting them.

Defines Your Spaces – Walls, paths, and borders organize the yard into a clean, intentional layout.

What Masonry Costs in Jamaica Plain

Masonry costs depend on the type of project, its size, the materials you choose, and the site conditions. A short border or a small walkway is a smaller job; a big patio or a structural retaining wall takes more material, more base work, and more time.


That’s why we give free, no-obligation estimates after we’ve seen the site, rather than a rough number over the phone. We’ll talk through your vision and give you a clear quote covering the materials, base preparation, the build, and the cleanup. We don’t cut corners on the foundation, so the work lasts.

Tree Removal

“I have used Ben and his team for two projects: 1. a major tree removal off Boylston St. and 2. significant pruning of Maple trees over my house and over my neighbors houses. I found Ben and his team to be very professional and I like knowing I am supporting a local JP area business. Ben is very open and honest and provides options when issues arise. Overall, I found Greenstar Tree and Ben to be very knowledgeable about their craft, friendly and open and value driven. I thought they did a great job!”

Erick K.

Pruning & Trimming

“Ben and Will went above and beyond what I expected! Living in south boston i thought it was gonna be impossible to prune the tree in the back of my property due to the closed in nature of my house. It was amazing to see what they could do and how they managed to accomplish so much within such a confined area. I would give Greenstar tree 10 stars if possible and will be recommending them to all my neighbors here in southie! Thanks again Ben!”

Jeffrey F.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Noah did amazing work at a fair price. I had multiple very tall trees in hard-to-access locations and on top of power lines that they trimmed back from my roof and siding. They were kind and professional and made sure to explain the work they would do and any advice on how to handle each of the trees in the future. I highly recommend and will be using Greenstar’s services moving forward.”

Nick M.

Tree Removal

“I had a great experience with Green Star Tree out of Jamaica Plain. Ben was able to schedule me almost immediately after our initial conversation for a tree that had fallen in my driveway onto two vehicles.
He was professional, efficient, and very reasonably priced. Ben went above and beyond, and Will was also fantastic—kind, helpful, and just as dedicated to getting the job done right.
They did an excellent job, and I will definitely be hiring them again for future work. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable tree work.

Deniqua L.

Pruning & Trimming

“I love working with Ben because he is super easy to deal with, wicked honest, and just an all around happy guy. He’s the most experienced tree guy I have ever met who is still working hard out there and I’ve been in the landscaping and tree industry for twenty six years myself !”

Andrew B.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Bertram did a wonderful job for us. The hard to reach branches of our oak were expertly pruned and our very large dead cherry was removed. All the wood was hauled away and they left our yard in grade a condition. Also, Ben took the time to explain why he pruned in the manner he did. His expertise was very helpful throughout.”

Makeit G.

Pruning & Trimming

“Greenstar tree did an excellent job pruning several trees in my yard including my beloved red bud. Ben and his crew are incredibly hard working. They took great care to protect my perennial garden and offered excellent advice on what should be pruned, removed, and maintained. We are very pleased.”

Kate C.

Cabling & Bracing

Five Stars! The Greenstar team offers high-quality, highly responsive, expert and professional services. We have towering hemlocks in our backyard and love how they make our yard feel like a secret garden. Ben was highly knowledgeable and took great care to balance the need to prune for vigorous health and preserve tree cover in the canopy. He also expertly tackled some other trees that have grown sideways over the years. Ben is a true pro! We felt our trees were in great hands and highly recommend Greenstar.
