Stone patios, walls & walkways in Auburn, MA.

Yes. Auburn is where Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket from a Pakachoag Hill farm in 1926, and that same rocky high ground is why footings here have to reach past frost and ledge. And because the land here is rocky glacial till over granite ledge that surfaces on the hillsides, unforgiving to any wall set on a shallow footing, we plan the base and drainage for those conditions from the first day on site.

Constantly. We routinely execute plans for landscape architects and designers, building to spec with millimeter precision — much of our work in ongoing collaboration with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design.

A natural-stone patio typically runs $30–$60+ per square foot installed. In Auburn the swing usually comes from access and from how deep we have to excavate over rocky glacial till over granite ledge that surfaces on the hillsides — you get an itemized scope after we walk the property.

The colonials and expanded capes on the wooded slopes of Pakachoag Hill here set the direction, and rolling drumlin hills southwest of Worcester, crowned by Pakachoag Hill and cut by the French River and Kettle Brook lowlands sets the scale. That usually means hand-set fieldstone and bluestone detailed to look original to the house rather than applied to it.
