Questions

Masonry questions

Pavers, flagstone, or concrete: which is best for a patio?

Pavers can be lifted and reset if the ground moves and come in many colors and sizes. Bluestone and flagstone give a traditional look that suits older Westchester homes. Poured concrete costs less up front but is harder to repair invisibly. All three last when the base is built properly.

Why do old stone walls bulge or fall over?

Water and frost. Without drainage behind a wall, water builds up, freezes, and pushes the stone out. Rebuilding with drainage stone and a proper base fixes the cause, not only the look.

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?

Often, once a wall passes a certain height or holds back a driveway or structure. The threshold differs by municipality, and taller walls may need an engineer's design. We confirm the requirements for your address before we build.

Why do pavers sink or shift?

Almost always because of the base: too thin, poorly compacted, or not pitched to drain. Missing edge restraints also let the field spread. We rebuild the base when we reset failed pavers.
