Masonry & Concrete Services in Chestnut Hill, PA

Chestnut Hill is Philadelphia's premier residential neighborhood — a community of Wissahickon schist stone mansions, grand colonial homes, and distinguished residential architecture along Germantown Avenue and the streets that branch off it. The neighborhood's elevation and bucolic character are matched by its architectural seriousness, and the masonry work done here must meet the highest standards. Natalini Masonry Inc has worked on properties throughout Chestnut Hill and takes tremendous pride in serving this community.

Wissahickon schist restoration is one of the most technically demanding masonry services in the Philadelphia region, and Chestnut Hill has more schist construction than anywhere else in the city. The purple-gray local stone that defines the neighborhood's character requires mortar that is compatible with its particular properties — softer, more breathable mixes that allow the stone to manage moisture without trapping it. We use appropriate pointing mortars for this work and approach each schist restoration project with the care these significant structures require.

Retaining walls in Chestnut Hill are often as architecturally significant as the homes they serve — stone garden walls, terrace walls, and entry gate walls that are integral to the estate-like landscaping of this neighborhood. We restore and rebuild these walls, matching original stone and mortar as closely as possible, and we construct new stone walls when expansion or new hardscaping is needed. Chimney restoration on Chestnut Hill's larger homes is also a regular and substantial part of our work in this community.
