Stone Masonry in Piscataway, NJ

Stone Masonry for Piscataway homes

Piscataway sits on the clay and shale of New Jersey's Piedmont, which is why so many older patios and driveways here have heaved. We build ours from the base up.

Built for Piscataway ground

Wet clay behind a wall is heavy, and frozen clay pushes even harder. For stone masonry in Piscataway, we put clean drainage stone behind the wall and, where the site needs it, perforated pipe — never the dug-out clay as backfill.

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.
