About Stonepath Landscape Co.

Twenty years
in one county.

Started in 2004 by two people who had spent a decade building other firms' drawings, and were tired of watching good designs fail on site.

We are eleven now — designers, masons and planters — and we still work in one county so a foreman is never more than forty minutes from a job. We turn work down rather than stretch and disappoint somebody.

Talk to us

A weathered red brick path between clipped boxwood parterres and white hydrangeas in late spring, a copper beech hedge behind it and the gable of a white clapboard house beyond

Before & after

The same patch of ground.

A finished garden is easy to photograph. What matters is what it looked like when we arrived.

A cracked, sunken concrete slab against the back door of a grey cedar-shingled Cape Cod cottage on a May afternoon, with patchy thin lawn and a sagging chain-link fence along the boundary — Before

The same cottage on the same May afternoon: the slab replaced by a brick-edged bluestone terrace, the patchy ground now fine new lawn, and the chain-link fence gone in favour of a clipped boxwood hedge — After

An eroded earth bank slumping away from the gable of a red brick house under a clear July midday sky, its rotted sleeper edging leaning out and a gully washed through the bare soil — Before

The same bank under the same July sky, now held by two dry-laid fieldstone terraces with brick coping, bluestone steps climbing through them and deep planting on the shelves — After

Our services

Three disciplines,
one drawing.

Most gardens fail where the trades meet. We hold design, build and planting under one roof so the joints are never somebody else's problem.

Concept & design

Survey, levels and a drawn scheme you can read, with planting plans and a costed schedule before anything is dug.

They drew it, priced it and then built exactly that. No variations and no surprises at the end.

Helen MarshRenovation · Westgate

The terrace has been down four winters and has not moved a millimetre. You can see where the money went.

Tom BairdTerrace and steps · Ashcombe

They came back twice in the first year to sort planting that had not taken. Nobody asked them to.

Why choose us

Three things most firms
will not do.

A long formal mown grass walk between tall clipped beech hedges turning copper, ending at a bluestone step between squared granite gate piers under a flat October sky

The foreman's mobile, day one

In twenty years that has never been a mistake. It is the fastest way to stop a small question becoming a change order.

Our own masons

Stonework is where garden projects go wrong. Ours is done by people on our payroll, who we can hold to a standard.

Price agreed before we dig

A costed schedule against every element. If something changes you approve it before it happens, not after.

Our process

From first sketch
to final walkthrough.

Step one

We visit

We walk the site with you, take levels and talk about how you actually use the space. No charge, about ninety minutes.

Garden drawings spread across an oak workshop table beside a studio window: a coloured masterplan, a planting plan and a materials schedule weighted down with offcuts of bluestone and brick

Step two

You see the drawings

A scheme, a planting plan and a written schedule with real numbers against each element. Two weeks from the visit.

A terrace half laid: new bluestone flags across the near half, the rest still open to the compacted gravel sub-base, with a pallet of flags and a plate compactor at the edge

Step three

We build it

One foreman, one crew, a dated programme and a weekly note on where we are against it.

Questions

Before you call.

What does a garden actually cost?

Most full schemes we build land between $18,000 and $70,000 depending on how much stone is involved. We give you a costed schedule before anything starts, so you see the number against each element rather than one total.

How long does it take?

Two weeks from the visit to drawings. Build is typically four to nine weeks depending on the groundworks. You get a dated programme before we begin.

Do you subcontract the stonework?

No. Our masons are on our payroll. It is the single biggest reason garden projects go wrong elsewhere.

What if the planting dies?

Two seasons of establishment care are included. We come back, look at it, and replace what has not taken at our cost.

Do you work outside the eight towns?

Rarely, and we will tell you on the phone. A foreman needs to be able to reach the site inside forty minutes or the job suffers.
