Steps & Stoops

Hand-cut granite and limestone steps and stoops that last generations.

Steps & Stoops project by Solid Stone Masonry & Construction

What we do

Granite steps, stoops and landings, piers, caps, retaining walls and feature stone cladding.

Stone is set on compacted, drained bases with proper bedding so nothing shifts through frost cycles.

We match existing stone on older Boston-area homes and can source reclaimed granite where needed.

How the job runs

  1. 01

    Design & measure

    Rise, run and stone selection agreed on site.

  2. 02

    Base & drainage

    Excavate, compact and drain before a stone is laid.

  3. 03

    Setting the stone

    Cut, bedded and leveled by hand.

  4. 04

    Pointing & finish

    Jointed, cleaned and sealed as required.

Questions we get asked

Can you match my existing granite stoop?

Usually yes — we source new or reclaimed stone to match color and finish.

Will the steps or stoop heave in winter?

Not with a compacted, drained base — that is where most failures come from.
