Stone walkways for New Canaan estates in Silvermine. Patios for modernist houses with clean architectural lines. Retaining walls on wooded Smith Ridge slopes. We build hardscape that respects the New Canaan landscape design tradition, formal estate or minimalist modernist alike.
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.
