Field Stone Walls

  • Rebuilding and repairing old stone walls

  • Constructing new field stone walls

Stone walls are everywhere in New England. The history and mystery of them fascinate and perplex us. They line our favorite roads, mark property boundaries, and criss-cross through the woods where 200 years ago there was most certainly open pasture. Like heirloom apple trees and rusted farm implements, these stone walls are a window into the past and a beautiful symbol of rural life no property is complete without.

Retaining Walls

  • Rebuilding and repairing retaining walls

  • Constructing new retaining walls

Living in the hills comes with its pros and cons. The pros: open vistas, slopes for skiing and sledding, plenty of peaks to hike. The cons: steep slippery driveways in winter, walking uphill both ways to school, and soil and earth to retain! If you’ve carved out the bottom of a slope to build a house, put in a driveway, or just level off a flat spot for a couple of Adirondack chairs, chances are you’ll need to retain that embankment you’ve created to avoid erosion. The good news: retaining that slope can be stylish, enter the dry laid stone retaining wall.
