Experienced Stone Work Contractors

We Know South Hampton Properties

We’ve been serving South Hampton homeowners who understand the difference between adequate and exceptional. We’ve worked on properties throughout the Hamptons, so we know what coastal conditions do to inferior masonry work.

Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy summer traffic demand construction techniques that many contractors simply don’t understand. We use materials and methods specifically chosen for Long Island’s challenging climate.

Every project starts with understanding your property’s unique characteristics. Drainage patterns, soil conditions, architectural style, and how you actually use your outdoor spaces all factor into our approach.

Our Masonry Construction Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a site visit to understand your vision and assess your property’s specific needs. Soil conditions, drainage patterns, and existing structures all influence the best approach for your project.

Next comes detailed planning and material selection. We’ll show you exactly what we recommend and why, including how different stone and paver options will perform in our coastal environment. No surprises, no change orders for things we should have caught upfront.

Construction begins with proper excavation and base preparation – the foundation work that determines whether your investment lasts five years or fifty. We install according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes, with attention to details that less experienced contractors often miss.

Final grading, sealing, and cleanup leave your property better than we found it. You’ll receive care instructions and our contact information for any questions that come up later.

How long does paver patio installation typically take?

Most paver patio installations take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend timelines, especially during our wet spring months. We excavate and prepare the base first, which usually takes a full day. Paver installation and finishing typically require 2-3 additional days. Complex patterns, multiple elevations, or integration with existing structures may add time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather or site conditions require adjustments.
For South Hampton’s coastal environment, we typically recommend concrete pavers or natural stone over asphalt. Salt air and freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on asphalt surfaces. Concrete pavers offer excellent durability and can be individually replaced if damaged. Natural stone provides the most longevity but requires higher upfront investment. The key is proper base preparation and drainage – regardless of surface material, water management determines long-term performance in our climate.
Retaining walls over 4 feet typically require permits in South Hampton, and walls near property lines may need approval regardless of height. We handle the permit application process and ensure construction meets local building codes. Soil conditions, drainage requirements, and proximity to structures all factor into permit requirements. Even shorter walls benefit from professional design when they’re supporting significant loads or dealing with challenging soil conditions. We’ll assess your specific situation and advise on permit needs during our initial consultation.
Proper drainage is critical for any paver installation, especially in our area where heavy rains and snowmelt can cause major problems. We grade the base to direct water away from structures and install edge restraints that prevent shifting. Permeable pavers allow water infiltration where soil conditions permit. For areas with clay soil or high water tables, we install drainage systems beneath the paver base. Joint sand selection also affects drainage – we use materials that allow water movement while preventing weed growth and paver shifting.
Well-installed stone work requires minimal maintenance, but a few simple steps keep it looking its best. Annual cleaning removes salt residue, organic stains, and debris from joints. Resealing every 2-3 years protects against moisture penetration and makes cleaning easier. Joint sand may need occasional replenishment, especially after heavy rains. We provide specific care instructions based on the materials used in your project. Most homeowners find that quality stone work actually requires less maintenance than wood decking or other outdoor surface options.
Yes, we frequently repair and restore masonry work that wasn’t properly installed initially. Common issues include settling due to inadequate base preparation, joint failure from inferior materials, and drainage problems that cause structural damage. We assess the existing work to determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense economically. Sometimes spot repairs can extend the life of basically sound construction. Other times, starting over is the only way to achieve lasting results. We’ll give you an honest assessment and explain your options clearly.
