What lies beneath the surface
Good yards are built underground.
Patios sink when the base is skimped, and shrubs struggle when root balls go straight into compacted clay. Stoneleaf digs to frost-stable depth over geotextile fabric, works aged compost deep into every bed, books an 811 locate before each dig and puts its stone and nursery warranties in writing.

Why Stoneleaf
Six habits behind every Stoneleaf yard.
811 before every dig
Gas, electric, telecom and water lines are marked before any machine digging, trenching or tree pits.
Frost-stable bases
Compacted crushed stone over geotextile fabric, laser-checked for pitch away from the house, never shallow sand.
Right plant, right spot
Soil drainage and afternoon sun are checked before a single shrub is specified.
One crew to the finish
Once we break ground, the build crew stays on your property until the job is complete.
Warranties in writing
Five years against settling on hardscape and a one-year replacement warranty on trees and shrubs.

What does a built patio cost?
Paver patios usually start around $28 to $36 per square foot installed, and bluestone terraces generally run $38 to $52 or more, depending on access, slope and stone.
When is the best time to plant?
Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November). Stonework and drainage go ahead whenever the frost is out of the ground.
Do you call 811 before digging?
Every time. Our office files an 811 locate before any machine digging, and we trace private lines such as sprinkler laterals with you and hand-dig near them.
Can a master plan be built in phases?
Yes. The $395 plan puts drainage pipes, conduit sleeves and heavy machine work first, so later phases never disturb finished work.
What warranties come with the work?
Patios, walls and steps carry a 5-year settling warranty; trees and shrubs we plant carry a 1-year replacement warranty, with a watering guide at handover.
