Since 1985
Our Story
Founded in 1985, Smethurst Masonry has been a trusted name in quality craftsmanship throughout Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania for over forty years. I began in this industry as the young guy hauling buckets and pushing wheelbarrows, but it didn't take long for me to realize the true artistry behind masonry. What started as an entry-level job quickly became a lifelong passion, one that still drives me every day, even now in my late 60s.
Early on, I adopted a simple mindset that still guides our team today: treat every project as if it were our own home. That commitment to care and excellence has allowed us to serve thousands of satisfied clients and build a reputation grounded in integrity, skill, and unwavering attention to detail.
Today, Smethurst Masonry blends time-honored techniques with modern innovations to deliver work that truly stands the test of time, far beyond the basic, cut-and-dry approach of many landscaping-turned-masonry companies. From historic restorations to contemporary designs, we bring passion, precision, and collaboration to every brick laid and every stone set.
One core belief guides our process: the design should match the goals. Your vision matters, and we take the time to understand it so we're not just building something sturdy; we're building something that reflects exactly what you had in mind.
