We Know Melrose.
We Know Every Yard.
Melrose is not just a service area for us — it is where we have built hundreds of outdoor spaces over two decades. We have worked on hillside yards near the Fells, tight Victorian lots downtown, and wide-open suburban backyards along the Reading border. That local familiarity changes everything about how we design for you.
We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern design tools — including digital 3D layouts — so you see your finished space before a single shovel breaks ground. No guesswork, no surprises.
Meet the teamEvery Hardscape Service
Melrose Homeowners Actually Need
From a simple stone pathway to a full backyard transformation — hover any service to see the real benefit it adds to your Melrose property.
Patio Design & Installation
Bluestone, flagstone, paver and concrete patios — single-level or multi-tiered — set on compacted bases that won't heave in a Melrose winter.
Stone Walkways & Pathways
Brick, cobblestone, and flagstone paths that connect your front door, garden, and outdoor spaces — and stay level through freeze-thaw cycles.
Retaining Walls
Fieldstone, granite and segmental block walls engineered to hold back Melrose's hillside terrain — turning unusable slopes into level, beautiful spaces.
Outdoor Kitchens
Built-in grills, pizza ovens, bar counters and custom masonry cabinetry — designed for 12-month Massachusetts use and built to outlast any appliance.
Fire Pits & Fireplaces
Gas and wood-burning fire features that extend your outdoor season into October — and make your backyard the neighbourhood's favourite gathering spot.
Driveways & Entryways
Paver and exposed-aggregate driveways with decorative borders — the first thing guests and future buyers see, designed to impress from the street.
Steps & Stairs
Granite, bluestone and paver steps built on reinforced concrete footings — structurally sound and safe through 30+ New England winters.
Seating & Garden Walls
Low decorative walls that frame your patio, add built-in seating for guests, and define the edges of your outdoor room without extra furniture.
Six Things That Make
Our Work Last Longer
Most hardscape contractors build to spec. We build to last. Here is the specific difference in materials, technique, and service that Melrose homeowners notice years after the project is done.
We Design for Your Exact Frost Depth
Melrose's ground freezes 36–42 inches deep. Every base we install is engineered for that specific depth — which is why our patios don't crack, shift, or heave after year one.
48-Hour Proposal — Every Time
After your site visit, you receive a clear, itemized proposal within 48 hours. Not a vague number — a full breakdown with material names, quantities, and cost per item.
No Subcontractors — Ever
Every crew member who works on your Melrose property is a direct The Pros, Inc. employee. We never hand off your project to a third party, which means consistent quality from day one to the final walk-through.
We Reuse Demo Materials to Cut Your Cost
When we demolish existing hardscape, we assess what can be salvaged, recycled, or reused. This reduces hauling fees and can meaningfully lower your total project cost — we pass that saving directly to you.
Written Workmanship Warranty
Every project includes a written workmanship warranty — not a verbal promise. If anything we built fails due to our installation, we return and fix it at no cost. Period.
We Source Stone Locally in Massachusetts
We partner with Massachusetts-based stone suppliers. Local granite and bluestone is acclimated to our climate — it performs better, weathers more naturally, and supports local businesses at the same time.

Hardscape Built for Melrose
& Every Town Around It
Melrose is our home base — and we know every street, every slope, and every soil condition in the city. From the frost-heaved sidewalks near downtown to the rolling terrain above the Fells, we have built hardscapes in every corner of Melrose.
We also serve homeowners throughout Middlesex County and the greater North Shore. If you live within 30 minutes of Melrose, chances are we have already built something nearby.
Hardscaping Tailored to Every
Melrose Neighborhood
Hillside & Fells-Adjacent Yards
Steep slopes near the Middlesex Fells Reservation require properly engineered retaining walls with drainage cores. We have built dozens of multi-tiered terraced patios on these sites — they hold up through every spring thaw.
Historic & Victorian-Era Homes
Older Melrose homes in the downtown historic district benefit from period-appropriate materials — brick, cobblestone, and tumbled bluestone — that match the architectural character of the street and satisfy historic guidelines.
Modern & New-Construction Properties
Newer Melrose builds tend to have wide-open backyards ideal for large-format paver patios, outdoor kitchens, and clean geometric designs that match open-plan interior styles and maximize usable outdoor square footage.
