Services · Repair & Restoration

Repair, done once.

Leaning retaining walls, loose flagstone, failing steps, broken borders and cracked joints — we find out why it failed, fix the cause, and match the stone.

How we build it

The part you never see is the part that lasts.

01

Find the cause

Water, a failed base, roots, or the wrong material — a repair that ignores the cause comes back.

02

Down to sound material

We take the failed section back to where the stone and the base are sound.

03

Rebuild what failed

If the base failed, we rebuild it. A patch on a failed base fails again.

04

Match & reset

Stone is sourced to match color and thickness, reset in mortar, and the joints are repointed.

The stone

Chosen to outlast the house.

  • Matched stone — sourced to the color and thickness of what you have
  • Repointing — joints cleaned out and repacked
  • Belgian block & borders — reset or extended

Compare every stone in The Stone Library.

Repairs carry a warranty too. One year, in writing, on every repair we perform — and if the repair becomes a rebuild, the rebuild carries the full five-and-ten. Read it.
Questions

Before you commission.

Can you match the stone we already have?

Usually, yes. We source stone to match color and thickness and set it to match the existing pattern and joints.

Patch or rebuild?

We patch what is sound and rebuild what has failed — and we tell you honestly which is which before you sign.

Do repairs carry a warranty?

Yes — one year on every repair we perform. We can’t warrant stone someone else set, but we stand behind every stone we touch.

Do you take small repair jobs?

Yes. Steps, a section of wall, a loose patio or a border — a small repair gets the same standard as a large commission.

We build across D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia — see our work in McLean · Potomac · Falls Church · Arlington · Washington, D.C.
More of what we build: Flagstone & Bluestone Patios · Retaining & Seat Walls · Chimneys, Fireplaces & Veneer · Outdoor Kitchens & Living · Steps, Walkways & Borders.
