New Copley Sidewalks®
Timeless Beauty for Garden Walks and Terraces
For years Monterey Masonry has supplied architects and landscape architects with reclaimed bluestone sidewalks.
The patina acquired by 150 years of polishing by rain and shoe leather gives these beautiful hand-cut antique pieces a visual and emotional beauty, as seen in the work of the American impressionist, Childe Hassam (1859 – 1935), who painted the bluestone sidewalks of Boston’s South End in the rain.
The newly quarried bluestone used to fabricate New Copley Sidewalks® is worked through a multi-step process that results in a perfect replication of the beautiful stone sidewalks of the 19th century.

New Copley is now in New York City
1,400 square feet are ready for your review at 165 West 82nd Street at Amsterdam Avenue (showroom hours: 24 / 7 / 365). This installation was a collaboration between Monterey Masonry from Great Barrington, MA and Etna Contracting from Brooklyn, NY.
Sidewalk begins at the EXCELLENT 2 Beans coffee shop. These stone sidewalks look like they’ve been there for 150 years. We were able to save 3 of the original pieces. See if you can find them!
We can provide these timelessly beautiful sidewalks, fabricated by American craftsmen from new quarried stone.
Consider the possibilities for using this stone, either on a small scale project on your own property, or as part of a larger landscape project you’re working on.
Since we introduced our New Copley Sidewalks® bluestone slabs at the ASLA Conference in Boston in November 2013, we have provided it for sidewalk replacement in New York City, estate gardens, Brooklyn backyard gardens, pool paving and coping in the Hudson Valley of New York, and as a tennis pavilion floor on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.
