Stone Masonry in Helmetta, NJ

Stone Masonry for Helmetta homes

Helmetta is a small borough with a long history — it grew up around the Helme snuff mill. We pave driveways, walks and patios for its homes.

Built for Helmetta ground

On sandy ground, every wall needs a wide, well-compacted footing — loose sand under a footing lets a wall settle unevenly. For stone masonry in Helmetta, we dig to firm ground, compact a level stone footing and backfill with clean drainage stone.

Stone masonry is the detail work that makes a hardscape look expensive: stacked stone on the steps, pillars at the walkway, a stone planter under the front windows, a granite cap on the fire pit. We build these on solid cores and finish them to match your home.

Where we use stone

• Steps — stacked-stone risers with thick stone treads.
• Pillars — at the walkway, driveway or the ends of a seating wall, often with cap lights.
• Planters and garden walls — stone-faced beds along the front of the house.
• Outdoor kitchens — stone-veneer grill islands and bars.
• Fire pits — stone surrounds and polished granite caps.

Built to stay on

Veneer fails when water gets behind it and freezes. We set stone over solid block or concrete cores, cap every top surface and keep water moving away — so the stone stays where we put it.
