Walkways and patios for Greenwich estates. Retaining walls on backcountry slopes. Stone steps and decorative features for waterfront homes in Riverside and Old Greenwich. We build hardscape with proper base prep, drainage, and stonework that holds up through Connecticut winters.
Stone work that fails in Connecticut almost always fails at the base, not the surface. Frost heave, poor drainage, and inadequate compaction cause settling, cracking, and shifting within a few winters. We dig the proper depth, use the right base material, and install the stone so it moves with the ground instead of against it.
Natural stone, pavers, or flagstone. Cut to fit, set level, edged clean. Proper base depth for Connecticut frost cycles. Steps and entrance work with the right rise and run.
Walls that hold back soil without failing. Proper batter, drainage, and anchoring. Patio design graded for water runoff away from the house.
Base depth accounts for freeze and thaw cycles. Stone stays level through Connecticut winters because the base was done right the first time.
H3: Town Engineering Review Greenwich runs from coastal sandy soil to rocky backcountry ledge. Each property type needs different excavation depth, base prep, and drainage approach for stone work to last. Greenwich requires Building Department review
Backcountry estates often want natural stone walls and walkways that match the property aesthetic. Coastal homes lean toward formal stone patios. We adjust material selection by neighborhood. Greenwich properties have significant elevation changes. R

Contact UsWalkways and patios usually do not need permits. Retaining walls over four feet require Greenwich Building Department review and engineered design. Walls near wetlands need Conservation Commission approval. We check the local rules and pull permits before any excavation begins on the project site.
Walkways start in the low thousands. Patios run from a few thousand to over twenty thousand based on size and stone selection. Backcountry estate retaining walls and complex hardscape projects can run fifty thousand or more. Free site visit and written estimate before any work begins.
Yes. Backcountry Greenwich properties often have significant slope changes that require engineered retaining wall designs. We handle Building Department review for walls over four feet, install proper drainage systems, and use materials matched to estate property aesthetics throughout the project.
Estate properties often want natural fieldstone or bluestone for traditional aesthetic. Coastal homes work well with bluestone or granite for salt resistance. Backcountry walls use natural stone or segmental block depending on the project budget. We help select based on the property style and conditions.
Walkways finish in two to four days. Patios run one to two weeks depending on size. Retaining walls take days to weeks based on length and height. Backcountry estate projects with multiple features run longer. Timeline goes in the written scope before any excavation begins on the project.
