Stonemason & cement work - in front of house & sidewalk

Hey All – can anyone refer a trusted stonemason/person who works with cement? I need the front area within my gate redone, as well as the sidewalk outside the front gate. Right now, the area inside the gate is the old, bumpy-on-purpose cement work, but I’d like to redo it with a cleaner, more flagstone look. Thanks

Seconding the recommendation for Anthony, he’s great. He did a brick planter for us which required some concrete pouring around the planter, the work was excellent and came out super clean (and very fairly priced). Since then we’ve had him do a handful of jobs including replacing our basement door (framed into brick/stone) and restoring some brick in our basement. We have some more projects lined up for him, he’s definitely our go-to person for anything involving brick, stone, or concrete.

i can’t recommend anthony bauer enough for this type of work: 347-307-4725. he has done multiple projects for us including almost the exact thing you want to do.

When I do the same I’m likely to call Sunnyside Masonry.

I’m not sure if a mason is the right person to do this. The mason who did a great job on repointing my brick and limestone house, resurfaced my stoop, and restored the brownstone facades of the houses on either side of mine did a mediocre job of replacing the cement in my front areaway.
