Stone walkways for Westport waterfront homes. Patios in Greens Farms and Long Lots. Retaining walls on Old Hill slopes. Decorative features for properties along the Saugatuck River. We build hardscape that handles Connecticut weather and the salt exposure coastal Westport delivers every season.
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.

Contact UsWalkways and small patios usually do not need permits. Retaining walls over four feet require Westport Building Department review and engineered design. Coastal Area Management for shoreline hardscape. Conservation Commission for wetland adjacent stone work near the Saugatuck River. We pull permits before any excavation.
Walkways start in the low thousands. Patios run from a few thousand to twenty thousand or more based on size, stone, and complexity. Waterfront retaining walls with engineered design and salt resistant materials cost more than inland projects. Free site visit and written estimate first.
Yes. Compo Beach, Saugatuck Shores, and Saugatuck waterfront homes are part of our service area. Salt resistance, sandy soil, and Coastal Area Management review all factor into the project plan. We use granite or bluestone for waterfront work because they handle salt exposure better than other stone types.
Yes. Old Hill and Long Lots inland properties often have slopes requiring retaining walls. We handle Building Department review for walls over four feet, design proper drainage systems, and select natural stone or segmental block based on the property aesthetic and the project budget.
Yes, when built right. Frost is the main concern in Westport masonry. Walkways and patios need eight inches of compacted crushed stone base below frost line. Retaining walls need drainage systems behind them. We dig the base properly so freeze thaw cycles do not heave the stone work over winter seasons.
