Finished Earthworks landscaping and masonry project on a Fairfield County property

Services · Fairfield County, CT

Everything Outside the Front Door

We build and look after patios, walls, outdoor kitchens, planting, drainage, lawns, lighting and winter walks for homes across Fairfield County — one licensed contractor for the stone, the soil and the seasons.

Two trades, one crew

Eight groups, thirty-two services

Because we build the stone and plant the garden, the grades, drainage and sight lines all agree with each other. Every job is priced in writing after a site walk, and hardscape and masonry carry a 2-year workmanship warranty.

Patios & Walkways

Bluestone, granite, clay brick and premium pavers set on an 8–12″ compacted base with polymeric joints.

Most Fairfield County stone patios land between $28–$55 per square foot, depending on the stone, base depth, grading and access. You get one fixed written price after the site visit.

More on patios & walkways

  • Bluestone terraces
  • Paver patios
  • Stone steps & landings
  • Pool surrounds

Retaining & Sitting Walls

Dry-laid fieldstone, mortared veneer and engineered segmental walls with proper drainage behind them.

We also repoint, reset settled stone and rebuild failed walls — and fix the drainage that caused the problem. Where a wall needs a permit, as walls over four feet usually do, we handle the application and engineering.

  • Fieldstone walls
  • Veneer walls
  • Seat walls
  • Wall repair & rebuild

Outdoor Living

Kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits and pergola footings that turn a backyard into a second living room.

Built on the same deep compacted base and real mortar as our walls, so the parts you cook and sit around stay put.

More on outdoor living

  • Outdoor kitchens
  • Fireplaces & chimneys
  • Fire pits
  • Grill islands

Planting & Garden Design

Native and coastal-tolerant plantings, screening, foundation beds and four-season color, chosen for Connecticut soil and shade and laid out to look established from the first season.

Plantings we install and maintain are covered for one full season.

  • Foundation plantings
  • Privacy screening
  • Perennial gardens
  • Tree & shrub install

Drainage & Grading

French drains, dry wells, catch basins and regrading that pushes water away from your foundation.

Drainage is half of what we do. A soggy yard or water in the basement usually comes down to where the water is being sent, and we get it moving away from the house.

  • French drains
  • Dry wells
  • Regrading
  • Downspout tie-ins

Landscape Lighting

Low-voltage LED uplighting, path lights and wall washing, installed and set at dusk with you on site.

Lighting fixtures carry the manufacturer’s warranty on top of our workmanship.
