Local conditions
Masonry in Hudson River Towns
Properties in Dobbs Ferry often sit on steep ground that falls toward the Hudson. On a slope, water is the main enemy of a driveway or patio: it runs down the surface, gets under the edges, and washes out the base.

Do I need a permit for masonry work in Dobbs Ferry?
Dobbs Ferry falls under the Village of Dobbs Ferry. Rules for masonry & hardscaping differ from one municipality to the next. Work in the public right-of-way, such as a new apron, a curb cut, or a sidewalk, usually needs approval from the municipality, and taller retaining walls often do too. We check what the Village of Dobbs Ferry requires for your address before we price the job.
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.
