Custom Pergola Builder in the Main Line, PA

Make Your Backyard a Place You Want to Spend Tim

A custom pergola gives your outdoor space a sense of purpose. It can define a comfortable dining area, add welcome shade over a patio, or create a natural gathering spot for family and friends. Kelly Masonry designs and builds custom pergolas and covered patios that make it easier to enjoy your backyard more often.

As a Main Line pergola builder, we take the time to understand how you want to use the space. Whether you picture quiet mornings outside, weekend dinners, or a complete outdoor entertaining area, we help shape a design that feels connected to your home and your routine.

A pergola also works best when it is planned as part of the entire outdoor environment—not as an afterthought. We can help you connect it with the hardscaping, cooking, fire, and lighting features that turn a backyard into a more complete outdoor living space.

Custom Pergolas and Covered Patios Designed Around Your Space

Every property has its own layout, existing features, and opportunities. During your consultation, we will talk through your goals, review the space, and develop a design that fits the way you want to live outdoors. From the structure itself to the materials and surrounding elements, each decision is made to create a cohesive result.

Kelly Masonry creates custom pergolas and covered patios for homeowners who want a purposeful outdoor retreat. Your design can be simple and refined, or it can be part of a larger outdoor-living project with room to cook, gather, and relax.

Build a Complete Outdoor Living Space Around Your Pergola

A pergola can be the focal point of your backyard, but the details around it make the space work day to day. Kelly Masonry can coordinate your structure with complementary outdoor-living features:

Backyard Patios

Give your pergola a beautiful, durable foundation for seating, dining, and entertaining. A custom patio can define the space beneath your pergola while connecting it naturally to the rest of your yard.

Custom Outdoor Kitchens

Bring cooking and hosting outdoors with a custom kitchen designed around your lifestyle. A pergola can help establish a comfortable destination beside your grill, counter space, and dining area.

Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits

Add a warm gathering point that helps your outdoor space feel inviting after the sun goes down. A fire feature can be designed to complement the scale and style of your pergola and patio.

Landscape Lighting

Thoughtful landscape lighting helps you enjoy the patio, pathways, and gathering areas around your pergola in the evening. It can also highlight the details that make your outdoor space feel finished.

Kelly Masonry did a fabulous job managing our complicated home repair project. John Kelly is a true professional and excellent communicator. We’ve been extremely pleased with his team of highly-skilled, detailed-oriented workers as they worked tirelessly to get our job finished in a timely manner. Highly recommend!
I could not be happier with the retaining wall Kelly masonry constructed along my driveway. They were very accommodating. The work crew was efficient, hard workers and very polite . I’m showing a before and after picture. This after picture I had ChatGPT put shrubs in because I haven’t decided what I want to plant. Everyone who comes over loves the wall.

John and his team completely transformed our back patio space! He is truly an industry expert and absolutely went above and beyond for us. His crew is exceptional - extremely hardworking, tidy, and professional. They navigated the patio install smoothly and with a beautiful result. Can't wait to plan our next project with them.

John Kelly’s team are fabulous. He came out promptly to give an estimate. Then the team began working the very next day. They showed up each day until the job was complete. And they did a perfect job on our walkway that had been crushed by a big crane. Will definitely call on them the next time we need masonry work!

Kelly Masonry built us a beautiful new flagstone patio, walkway, and porch this summer. We were so impressed with this company. Their crew is super hardworking and talented. I appreciated that they stuck to the budget. John communicated with us really well, which helped everything go smoothly. They were thoughtful about details like making sure to reattach a fence at the end of each day of work, so our dog would have a safe place to run around. They're also knowledgeable about water management. They graded the patio, and ran drainpipes from the gutters, underneath the patio and walkway, all the way out to the back of our yard, to keep the water out of our basement. We're thrilled with the final results.

Incredibly happy with the work from Kelly Masonry! John and his team were a pleasure to work with. They made the project as easy as possible and kept us up to date with any changes to the schedule given weather-related delays. We cannot wait to create new memories in our beautiful backyard for years to come.

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about John and his men. The workers and John did an amazing job on our retaining wall and walkway and landing at our house. We have never had a more pleasant experience with a contractor. The final results of our project was better than we expected. John went above and beyond on our project even adding things at no extra cost to us. I would highly recommend John and his team! I will be using him again in the future!

If you're looking for quality work, this is your guy. Quick estimates, hard worker, and means business. I assure you, whether it's a big or small job, it'll get done right!
Another 5 star review. John and his crew repaired my stone wall. They went above and beyond. He made sure I was satisfied with the job as it progressed. Several times he told me he wanted me to be happy and I am. Thank you for a great job.

We are not alone with wanting to give more than 5 stars!! Our project involved the creation of several new flower beds, a new front patio and front steps as well as a side patio for a hot tub. We needed this all done on time as we were hosting our wedding at the house. John Kelly was fantastic from the very beginning. He walked us through various options, coordinated with the landscaper and architect, was always responsive and delivered everything on time with the upmost professionalism and attention to quality and detail. We’ll never use any one else. Thank you to John, and the whole Kelly Masonry team!

We couldn't be happier with the service or results. We had a complex timeline and they were great to communicate and work with our other contractors. The stone work looks amazing and everything was kept incredibly clean. I would recommend Kelly Masonry to anyone.

We had a wonderful experience with Kelly Masonry. I would give them 10 stars if I could! John did a great job communicating with me throughout this entire process and Rob and his crew were kind and considerate while doing the work in our kitchen. We told them our vision and it turned out exactly how we had hoped. I highly recommend reaching out to them for your next project!

The experience working with Kelly Masonry is the best you will find!!!! We would rate higher we could. From the initial consult to the end product, every step was met with professionalism. The owner, John, came out to quote the project and made his suggestions from years of experience. The crew was efficient and, as you can see from the pictures, we couldn't be more happy with the work. Below is a list of the work John and his team completed in the quoted time, even though the weather didn't cooperate. - Tore down, extended and rebuilt stone retaining wall to the right of front door. - Removed old walkway and replaced with a paver patio while adding additional stone to the bottom front of the house for grading purposes - Installed a trench drain and tied into three downspouts and ran under pavers, out to a pop-up drain in the front yard. - Ran a conduit pipe from electrical box to garage - Removed concrete slab by garage door, and ran pavers the full length from the garage door past our side entrance. - Installed a stone block retaining wall on the side of the house (this was not discussed in the initial plans, John and crew was able to add to workload mid-project). Very accommodating, professional and the lines of communication are second to none. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

As a first time home buyer, I ran into an issue during the inspection that almost stopped me from purchasing the home and needed a professional opinion. Mr. Kelly happily came out to look at the property and gave me an estimate on the work that needed to be done. Fast forward to a few months after having purchased the home, and I sent Mr. Kelly an email stating I was ready to move forward with the project. Even though a few months had passed, Mr. Kelly remember every detail we had discussed during the estimation. His team came four times over the course of two weeks to do some work in the basement, including replacing two windows, and to clean and repoint the outside facade of the house. At the end of each day, you would have never known there were contractors in the house. They left the place in pristine condition. When the work was completed, Mr. Kelly asked if I had any issues (which i did not) and assured me that if any came up, to give him a call and they would be happy to come out and remedy. I cannot recommend Mr. Kelly and his team enough. They have been the easiest and most respectful contract I have worked with to date. Thank you Mr. Kelly and team for all of your work!

John and his team were very professional, and did an amazing job. I needed them to brick in a window opening and shrink in another, which entailed them removing the old lentil and soldier corse and install a new one lower. They showed up on time and we’re clear on what they needed me to do to get the area ready for the work. 90% of my home is brick, so we have plenty of work for them in the future. I highly recommend them.

Would rate this company with more stars if I could. From the very beginning John and his team were very responsive and transparent about the whole project (how long it would take, when they could start, how much it would cost, etc.). They were very flexible with my shift-work schedule and their work was top notch. We love our new fireplace! I actually plan on hiring them in the future if I ever get the masonry work done on my home's exterior like I'm planning to do.
