Everything we build outside your house

Four services, one crew, from the excavation through the final sweep. All of it built to hold up to Massachusetts winters.

Service 01

Paver Patios & Pool Decks

Patios, pool decks and outdoor living areas in paver, bluestone and granite. Excavated to depth, compacted in lifts and locked in, so the field stays flat and the joints stay tight.

  • Excavation to frost depth for the soil on your lot
  • Process gravel base compacted in lifts, not dumped and raked
  • Pitched away from the foundation, never toward it
  • Cut edges done with a saw, not a hammer

Walkways & Steps

Front walks, side paths and entry steps in paver, bluestone and granite. Laid level, pitched away from the house and edged so nothing shifts under foot.

  • Consistent riser height from bottom step to landing
  • Treads pitched slightly forward so they drain and do not ice over
  • Granite treads and landings set on a compacted base, not on fill
  • Borders in a contrasting stone to hold the edge and frame the walk

Retaining Walls & Stonework

Fieldstone, block and boulder walls that hold a grade for decades, with the footing, the drainage and the backfill done the way engineers draw them.

  • Compacted gravel footing set below the frost line
  • Crushed stone drainage zone behind the full height of the wall
  • Filter fabric between drainage stone and native soil
  • Perforated drain line daylighted to a low point

Driveways & Stamped Concrete

Asphalt, paver and stamped concrete driveways, plus slabs and pads. Excavated, compacted and pitched before anything is poured or paved.

  • Excavation and base depth matched to what will park on it
  • Pitch set so water leaves the drive and misses the garage slab
  • Asphalt laid and rolled hot, in a single coordinated pour
  • Reinforcement and control joints on every concrete slab

Why LV

The part nobody photographs

Every finished job in our gallery looks good on day one. What separates them is what is under the surface.

Base depth first

We excavate to the depth the soil and the use call for, and compact in lifts. It is slower, it costs more, and it is the reason the field is still flat in ten years.

Water has to go somewhere

Every surface gets a pitch, every wall gets drainage. We look at where the water goes today before we change the grade.

One crew, start to finish

The people who dig are the people who set the stone. Nothing gets lost in a handoff between subs.

Priced in writing

Scope, materials and square footage on paper before we start, so you can compare us against anyone else line by line.

Clean site, every day

Tools picked up, cuts swept, materials stacked. Your yard is not a staging area for a month.

Licensed and insured

Full coverage on every job. Certificates available before anyone sets foot on your property.
