Hardscaping & Patios
Stone is the architecture of the garden, the terraces you'll gather on, the walls that hold the hillside, the path that says "this way." We build it the old way: properly.
Built Below, Beautiful Above
What you can't see is why it lasts
Anyone can lay stone that looks good in June. Ours still looks good after fifteen New England winters, because we obsess over the eight inches you'll never see: excavation, compacted base, drainage and proper pitch. That's why our hardscape warranty is five years, in writing.
- Third-generation master masons on staff, never subbed out
- Full-depth base construction rated for our freeze-thaw cycles
- Natural stone sourced from New England quarries where possible
- Engineering stamps for retaining walls over four feet

Quick Answers
Hardscape questions, answered
Most of our patios run $35–$75 per square foot installed, depending on stone and site access. A typical 400 sq ft bluestone terrace with a sitting wall lands between $25,000–$40,000.
Both, in the right place. Dry-laid flexes with frost and is easily repaired; wet-set on concrete gives a monolithic, formal finish. We'll recommend based on your soil, use and style.
Most patio and wall projects take two to four weeks on site. We give you a written schedule before we start, and your project lead updates you every Friday.
Always. We pull permits, schedule utility mark-outs, and arrange engineering for any wall requiring it. You never deal with the town, that's our job.
