Concrete & Masonry Work That Holds Up in Upper Darby
Upper Darby is one of the most densely developed corners of Delaware County, with a mix of sturdy century-old twins, post-war brick colonials, and newer construction sitting on tight lots. That older housing stock means a lot of the concrete and masonry we see every day has been exposed to decades of Pennsylvania weather — which is exactly where C&M Concrete & Masonry comes in.
Years of freeze-thaw cycles push and pull at everything outdoors. A driveway that was poured without a properly compacted base starts to heave and crack. A walkway with the wrong slope sends roof and yard runoff toward the foundation instead of away from it. Mortar joints on an older brick or stone wall slowly erode, letting moisture work its way behind the face and into the wall. These aren't cosmetic problems — left alone, they get more expensive every season.
We handle both sides of the trade under one roof. On the concrete side, that's driveways, patios, walkways, and stamped concrete — poured, finished, and jointed correctly from the sub-base up. On the masonry side, it's brick, block, stone, foundation repair, and chimney work — built or restored to shed water the way it was designed to.
Because we do both trades, you don't have to juggle two contractors when a project needs a concrete pad under a masonry wall, or a new walkway that ties into an existing brick stoop. One crew, one estimate, one point of contact from start to finish. Every job begins with a free, no-obligation estimate at (267) 371-7321.
Building for Delaware County Conditions
The biggest enemy of exterior concrete and masonry in this area isn't age — it's water and the freeze-thaw cycle. Here's how we build to keep both out.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Water seeps into hairline cracks and joints, freezes, and expands. We use air-entrained concrete and properly spaced control joints so expansion has somewhere safe to go instead of spalling the surface.
Drainage & Grading
Flatwork is sloped to move runoff away from foundations and off the slab. Retaining walls get backfill drainage so water pressure never builds behind the wall.
Base Preparation
Settling is almost always a base problem, not a concrete problem. We excavate to the right depth, compact in lifts, and add stone so the slab sits on a stable, well-draining foundation.
Mortar Deterioration
Older brick and stone rely on their mortar joints to direct water away. When joints erode, we repoint with mortar that matches the wall's strength so moisture stays on the outside where it belongs.
Foundation Moisture
Damp, musty basements in this area are frequently a masonry problem. Repointing old stone or block foundations and fixing exterior grade keeps groundwater out before it becomes a real issue.
Reinforcement
Driveways and slabs take rebar or fiber mesh, and load-bearing walls get properly grouted reinforcement — the kind of detail that keeps a job flat and crack-free for decades.
Concrete & Masonry Projects in Upper Darby
Upper Darby's mix of old and new homes calls for a wide range of work. These are the kinds of projects we take on most often across the township.
Driveway Replacement
We remove old, cracked, or heaving driveways, repair the sub-base, and pour fresh concrete with reinforcement and control joints sized to the driveway.
Stamped Concrete Patio
A new backyard or side-yard patio with a stamped, textured finish that matches the home's style while leveling out an uneven yard.
Stone Foundation Repointing
Older stone basements get failing mortar removed and replaced with a properly matched mix, cutting down on dust, drafts, and moisture.
Chimney Rebuild
We take down and rebuild deteriorated chimneys above the roofline with new brick, a proper cap, and flashings to stop leaks.
Retaining Wall & Drainage
Walls that hold back grade on sloped lots, built with backfill drain and weep holes so water pressure never pushes the wall out of plumb.
Walkway Grading & Repair
Lifting sunken sections that have become trip hazards and re-pouring walks with the correct slope to shed water away from the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete & Masonry Services in Upper Darby, PA
Don’t see your question?
(267) 371-7321
01
What concrete and masonry services do you provide in Upper Darby?
We cover the full exterior scope: concrete driveways, patios, walkways, sidewalks, stamped concrete, and slabs, plus brick, block, and stone masonry, stone foundation repointing, chimney repair and rebuilds, retaining walls, and stucco. Because we do both trades, one crew can handle a job end to end.
02
When is the best time to install concrete in Pennsylvania?
Concrete cures best in moderate temperatures, so spring through early fall is ideal. We can pour with additives and curing blankets in cooler weather, but for the cleanest result we generally recommend scheduling flatwork between late spring and early autumn.
03
Does winter weather damage concrete and masonry?
Yes — this area's freeze-thaw cycle is the leading cause of exterior deterioration. Water gets into cracks and joints, freezes and expands, and gradually widens them. Air-entrained concrete, sealed surfaces, and intact mortar joints all help your hardscape survive the winter.
04
Can you replace an existing cracked driveway?
In most cases, yes. We remove the old slab, evaluate and re-compact the sub-base, add fresh stone, and pour a new driveway with proper reinforcement and control joints. If the damage is minor, a resurface or slab-leveling repair may be all that's needed instead.
05
When should masonry be repaired instead of replaced?
If the brick or stone itself is still sound, repointing the eroded joints — plus spot-replacing any damaged units — is usually far more cost-effective than rebuilding. We only recommend taking a wall down when the structure has failed, not just the mortar.
06
Do you provide free estimates in Upper Darby?
Yes. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation on-site estimate so we can see the actual conditions and give you an accurate number. Call (267) 371-7321 to schedule.
07
Do you handle both concrete and masonry on the same job?
Absolutely — it's one of our biggest advantages. A project like a new paver patio with a concrete base, or a walkway that ties into an existing brick stoop, gets a single crew, one timeline, and one point of contact rather than coordinating two separate contractors.
08
Do you work on commercial properties in Delaware County?
Yes. In addition to residential work, we handle commercial concrete and masonry — parking areas, walkways, storefront steps, loading areas, and structural repairs for Upper Darby businesses and property owners.
