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.

What clients say about our excavation
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.
Honest and reliable work. Had them do my patio and pool surround. Had another company give me an estimate and Chris came in well below the other guy, and the quality of work is outstanding. Up next is my driveway, and I will be calling them back.
Beautiful patio that connects our deck to the pool! Chris was very pleasant to work with and professional. Detailed job!
CMC did a great job with my multilevel paver/pool deck. The project came out great and plan adjustments were seamless. Chris was present and attentive to my questions through the whole project.
Chris and his team did an amazing job with our semi inground pool retaining wall, steps, patio, and fire pit. The price was reasonable and the work is top notch. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and would definitely recommend CMC to everyone we know!
Highly recommended, CMC did an amazing job for our pool in our back yard. Chris and his crew were so professional and kind, we are so happy and satisfied to hire them for this project. We thank you so so much, great job!
Chris at CMC did a lot of work for us recently to transform our yard into a paradise. He and his team dug out our inground pool, installed pavers, installed an outdoor shower, fixed my fence and enclosed my deck. CMC did an amazing job in every aspect. He handled the whole job with professionalism and the highest integrity. I would recommend CMC for any job and look forward to working with them again.
