Whom you contact may depend on your approach. If the pavers are going to be set dry with bedding sand call a landscaper. If they shall be mortared in place on a concrete slab with a drain call a mason and a plumber. The former method is easier but the stones will move more over time.

Try WP Bluestone: (718) 653-3096. They’ve been recommended here before. They haven’t done a project for me but I’ve seen their sidewalk in our neighborhood and it’s excellent.

Was he able to source good bluestone or did you have to do that yourself? A few men I have interviewed give me bit off on hte pricing but told me I have to find the stone. For some reason, finding good quality Bluestone is like looking for that unicorn. If you found a good local supplier (that is not a big box store) would you send that info. please?

very fairly priced in my view on the projects he’s done. having said that I imagine some of it will also come down to the cost of materials (we haven’t done anything super high end.)

Is he pricey. I have a 14 x 20 section of my yard along with my front walkway that could use a bit of repair.
