Your Local Hardscape Team in Pawtucket

Pawtucket is a dense, historic mill city, and the masonry here is mostly older brick, granite, and tight urban lots. Around Quality Hill, Oak Hill, and Fairlawn you find brick and stone-front homes with original granite steps, short retaining walls, and mortar that has weathered a century of freeze-thaw. Down near the Blackstone River and the mill districts, the two- and three-family houses sit on compact lots where a rebuilt front walk or a new paver landing has to fit narrow side yards. We repoint brick, rebuild granite and stone steps, install paver walkways and patios, pour and repair concrete, build retaining walls, and put in drainage across the city. A large share of Pawtucket work is repair and restoration: crumbling mortar joints, spalled brick, heaved bluestone walks, and settled concrete steps that have pitched toward the door. We match the existing brick and stone so the repair fits the character of the block, and we correct the pitch and add drainage so water finally runs away from the foundation. On the hillier lots around Oak Hill we build retaining walls to hold the grade and keep runoff out of basements. City access, permits, and street staging come with the territory, and we plan around them.
