Overview

Stonework built for Vermont, and built to last.

A patio, a wall or a front walk is part of how your home looks and works every day. It should be built as carefully as the house itself.

We build stonework for homes in Burlington, Shelburne, South Burlington and along Lake Champlain, planned for Vermont’s freeze and thaw. Owner Del Alvarado is involved from the first call to the final stone, and our team can care for the landscape around it for years.

02
What we build

Hardscapes that shape how you live outside.

Every project is planned for your property: the soil, how water moves, Vermont winters and how you want to use the space.

Stone & Paver Patios

Outdoor rooms in natural stone, bluestone or pavers, laid out around how you use your yard: dining, gathering or a quiet place to sit.

Walkways & Entries

Front walks, garden paths and entries that connect the house, driveway and garden, and look like they have always belonged there.

Steps & Stoops

Stone steps and front stoops with steady footing through every season and a clean, finished look at the door.

Retaining Walls

Walls that hold back slopes, create level space and frame planting beds, from new walls to rebuilding an existing stone wall.

Seat Walls & Fire Pits

Low stone seat walls and fire pits that turn a patio or a corner of the lawn into a place to gather on cool evenings.

Client reviews
“It used to be a patch of mud… Now it’s a beautiful blue stone porch which matches our patio and is surrounded by perennials he planted.”
Lesley Stephen

Bluestone porch and patio

“We had a stone wall garden that looked like a pile of rocks and weeds… Then Del came to work his magic to restructure the existing stones into a beautiful stone wall.”
Georgia DeGangi & Robert Dickey

How much does a patio cost in Burlington, VT?

Yes. We build new retaining walls that hold back slopes and create level, usable space, and we also repair and rebuild existing stone walls.

We work with natural stone, bluestone, pavers and other materials, chosen for what your project needs. We help you pick what suits your home, your budget and the look you want.

We build year-round, so you don’t have to wait for spring to get started. Tell us your timeline and we’ll plan the work around the season and the conditions on your property.
