What's Included
A closer look at what we do.
Patios & Walkways
Custom-designed patios and walkways using pavers, flagstone, or natural stone. Properly graded and set on compacted base material to prevent shifting, settling, and frost heave.
Retaining Walls
Structural and decorative retaining walls that manage grade changes, prevent erosion, and create usable space on sloped properties. Engineered for Vermont's freeze-thaw cycles.
Natural Stone Installations
Vermont fieldstone, bluestone, and granite features that blend with the natural landscape. We source locally when possible for authentic character and reduced cost.
Outdoor Living Features
Fire pits, sitting walls, outdoor kitchens, and gathering spaces designed to extend your living area outdoors and make your property more enjoyable year-round.
Drainage Solutions
French drains, dry wells, channel drains, and regrading to manage water flow and protect your property from erosion, pooling, and foundation damage.
Foundation Engineering
Proper base preparation is everything in Vermont. We excavate to the right depth, compact in lifts, and use the right materials so your hardscape lasts decades, not seasons.
How We Work
Simple process, reliable results.
Site Consultation
We visit your property to discuss your vision, assess the terrain, and identify any drainage, access, or grading considerations that will shape the design.
Design & Estimate
We present a clear plan with material options, layout, and a detailed estimate. No vague quotes — you'll know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
Professional Build
Excavation, base prep, and installation done right. We don't cut corners on the parts you can't see — that's what makes hardscape last in Vermont.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished project together, make any adjustments, and provide care recommendations to keep everything looking great long-term.
