Gloucester: our home base. We built curved stairs with matching curved stone walls along the sides for a Gloucester homeowner, and the Gloucester masonry page has that job and more.

Rockport: a Rockport patio was expanded by lifting some of the existing pavers and blending them with new ones, and we built granite steps down to a client's dock. Both are on the Rockport page.

Essex: a homeowner whose property sloped sharply down to the water needed safe access, so we built stone stairs.

Ipswich: a 100-year-old stone wall had started to lean from poor drainage, and we restored it. The Ipswich masonry page tells that job. We also added clear vinyl panels to a client's pergola, on the Ipswich patio page.

Manchester-by-the-Sea: we stabilized a coastal seawall with helical tiebacks, a job on the hardscaping and masonry page.

Beverly: a timber wall that had started to tip forward was stabilized in place rather than rebuilt, as described on the retaining walls page.

Salem: a couple with a 12 by 14 foot space got a wall-mounted pergola with vertical herb gardens. It is on the patio page.

Marblehead: a family with a sloped backyard got a terraced layout around a custom stone fire pit, shown on the fire pit page. A client who had not used her backyard for years also got a simple paver patio and pathway from us.

Swampscott: a floating outdoor staircase connects a patio to the level above, and the homeowner's own words are on the walkways and stairs page.

Newburyport: fireplaces in the historic district meant working with the building inspectors and the historical commission. The services page has the full story.

Rowley: in October 2026 we replaced a worn concrete step and cracked path at a ranch house with stone front steps and a stone walkway.

Hamilton: a cottage-style flagstone entrance for a Hamilton homeowner. It is described on our services page.

Wenham: a multi-level entertainment space with a herringbone paver dining area that steps down to a circular fire pit area, on the patio page.

Topsfield: on a property with big grade changes we set granite slab steps with small terraced gardens between the levels. See steps and brick stairs.

Boxford: garden stone stairs cross back and forth over a stream, as shown on the walkways page.

Danvers: deteriorating concrete steps on a colonial home were replaced with a granite entrance. See steps and brick stairs.

Peabody: a direct-vent gas fireplace went into a 1950s ranch home that never had one.

Lynnfield: a travertine pool deck in a modified basketweave pattern, written up on the pool deck page.

North Reading: a custom stone fire pit chosen to suit the yard's existing decor, on the fire pit page.

Georgetown: Michael, one of our recent clients there, had a stonework fireplace built by one of our masons.

Permit rules are set by each town, so ask your building department and conservation commission what a property needs. State wetlands rules generally treat land within 100 feet of a wetland as a buffer zone that needs review, and Gloucester adds its own ordinance.
