Stone masonry covers work with natural or manufactured stone: retaining walls, freestanding walls, stone veneer on house fronts and foundations, walkways, patios, steps, and repair or repointing of existing stonework. In and around New Haven, this trade also handles a lot of storm and frost damage: older stone foundations and fieldstone walls that have shifted after a hard winter, plus veneer work on the area's mix of colonials, capes, and newer builds where stone is used as an accent rather than a structural material.
Stone work is priced and scoped differently from brick or block. A wall built without proper drainage, footings below the frost line, and batter (the slight inward lean that keeps a wall standing) will fail within a few years no matter how good the stone looks on day one. When you're comparing quotes, ask each contractor how they handle drainage and backfill on retaining walls, what footing depth they use, and whether they're setting veneer over a proper moisture barrier and lath or scratch coat. A contractor who can explain this without prompting has usually done the work before.
