Your backyard should do more than just look pretty for three months. When we finish your hardscaping project, you get a space that works through all four seasons—not just the brief window when Massachusetts weather cooperates.
Picture this: a properly designed patio with a fire pit means you’re still entertaining outside in October while your neighbors have already moved indoors. Retaining walls that actually retain instead of crumbling after the first freeze. Walkways that don’t become skating rinks or crack apart from our brutal freeze-thaw cycles.
We design hardscapes for how you actually live. Whether that’s creating space for summer barbecues, or simply having a front walkway that doesn’t require mountaineering skills to navigate safely in winter.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Norfolk and Plymouth Counties for over 25 years. We’ve seen what works and what fails when it comes to outdoor construction in this climate.
Bristol County gets hit with everything—coastal moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and weather that swings 40 degrees in a day. We’ve learned how to build hardscapes that handle it all. Our team understands Norton Center’s specific challenges, from soil conditions to local requirements.
When you’ve been doing this as long as we have, you learn that shortcuts today mean callbacks tomorrow. That’s why we use materials and techniques designed specifically for New England conditions, not generic solutions that work in Arizona.
First, we actually look at your space. Not a quick glance—we’re checking drainage, soil conditions, and how your property handles water. This matters more than you think, especially in Norton Center where proper drainage can make or break a hardscape project.
Next, we design something that makes sense for your space and budget. We’re not trying to sell you the most expensive option—we’re solving your specific problem. Maybe that’s a simple patio. Maybe it’s a complete outdoor living area with retaining walls and lighting.
Then we build it right. We start with proper excavation and base preparation because that’s where most hardscape failures happen. We use materials rated for New England weather and install everything to handle frost heave and water movement. The last thing you want is beautiful work that cracks apart after one winter.

We handle the full range of hardscaping projects—patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and complete outdoor living spaces. But what you’re really getting is hardscaping designed for this specific area.
In Bristol County, we deal with clay soils that expand and contract, coastal moisture that affects material choices, and freeze-thaw cycles that destroy improperly installed work. We select materials and use installation techniques that account for these local conditions.
You also get straight talk throughout the process. We explain what we’re doing and why, provide realistic timelines, and don’t surprise you with change orders. Our goal is delivering exactly what we promised, on time and on budget, so you can start enjoying your new outdoor space instead of dealing with problems.
