CMC Masonry just completed building a semi inground pool and patio at our home. We could not be happier! We knew from the minute we met the owner Chris that he was going to be our guy. He is professional, honest, prompt, and easy to work with. His crew was always on time, worked hard all day and cleaned up at the end of each day. The workmanship and quality is excellent. They did everything from the pool, patio and lighting, to planting trees and sod. I highly recommend them!

Lighting in Astoria, NY
Low-voltage step lights, wall caps, pool and landscape lighting that make your backyard as good at night as it is by day.
Astoria lighting, done by one team
The best time in the backyard is often after dark. We design lighting into every build: step and riser lights, wall-cap lights, uplighting on trees and plantings, path lighting, and pool and spa lighting. Wiring runs are planned before the stone goes down, so there's nothing to retrofit.
Rowhouse and two-family yards turned into private patios and kitchen spaces. Whether you're starting from bare dirt or reworking an older yard, our lighting work is planned alongside everything else in your backyard. We serve homeowners throughout Astoria, including Astoria, Ditmars, Steinway.

What clients say about our lighting
We had an incredible experience with CMC Masonry for the pavers around our pool. From start to finish, their work was top notch. They handled everything from digging out and properly preparing the area to making sure the pavers were installed exactly how we wanted. The attention to detail was outstanding and the finished product looks absolutely beautiful. Chris, the owner, is truly amazing to work with. He is responsive, honest, and genuinely cares about doing the job the right way. We were so impressed we had them do our driveway as well, and they even added a basketball court. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend. Chris and his team are the best at what they do. They do amazing work and have even better customer service. Would give them more than 5 stars if that was an option!
Chris and his team are awesome. From dig to completion in under a month. The work speaks for itself but the knowledge, communication throughout the whole process, and attention to detail is what I’d like to commemorate. Professionalism from start to finish. Looking forward to having Chris and CMC do more work for me.
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the work Chris and his crew at CMC did on this patio, walkway, outdoor kitchen, and deck for us! From start to finish, their entire process was seamless. They really took the time to understand our vision and made it a reality with incredible attention to detail. The outdoor kitchen is absolutely perfect, exactly what we imagined! The crew worked efficiently, kept everything clean, and were always professional. Truly a top-notch experience.
Chris and his team did a great job at my house. His crew worked really fast and efficiently, getting the job done in a timely manner. My neighbor was shocked at how fast they worked. High quality craftsmanship. Chris gave an incredible price for this amount of work and was willing to work with me every step of the way. I highly recommend using CMC if you want an affordable quality mason job done.
Highly recommend CMC Masonry for any outdoor or home project! I hired them to install pavers in my yard, and the results were outstanding, beautiful, professional, and exactly what I envisioned. Because they did such a good job, I brought them back for my basement project, and once again they delivered top-notch work. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who does excellent work without breaking the bank, I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Chris and his amazing team turned our boring backyard into the coolest yard on the block. Large patio, retaining walls, built in BBQ, bar, and a large gas firepit. I was given a price and timeline. Project was completed for what was quoted with no surprises and completed quickly. I highly recommend the CMC team to design and build your dream backyard!
CMC Masonry did an outstanding job on my grandmother’s patio! Their attention to detail and craftsmanship were truly impressive. The team was professional, punctual, and worked efficiently to deliver a result that exceeded our expectations. The patio not only looks beautiful but is also built to last. Highly recommend CMC Masonry for anyone looking for top-notch masonry work!
