Hear from Our Customers
Your backyard doesn’t have to be that awkward slope you avoid or the muddy mess that floods every spring. When hardscaping is done right, you get defined spaces that actually function—patios where you can host dinner without worrying about uneven ground, walkways that don’t turn into slip hazards, and retaining walls that solve drainage problems while looking sharp.
The difference between a yard and an outdoor living space comes down to intentional design and proper installation. You end up with areas that make sense for how you actually live, not just how they look in a magazine.
Bristol County homeowners know the value of outdoor spaces that can handle our weather while adding real value to their property. That’s exactly what professional hardscaping delivers.
Above and Beyond Chimney brings over 25 years of experience to hardscaping projects throughout Smith Mills and Bristol County. We understand how coastal moisture affects different materials and what it takes to build outdoor features that last through New England’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Our approach is straightforward: we listen to how you want to use your outdoor space, assess what your property needs, and build solutions that work. No overselling, no unnecessary complications.
Smith Mills homeowners choose us because we treat every project like it’s our own backyard. We’re the company that shows up when we say we will, explains what we’re doing and why, and stands behind our work long after the project is complete.
First, we visit your property to understand your goals and assess the terrain. We’ll discuss drainage patterns, existing structures, and how you envision using the space. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a consultation to determine what makes sense for your specific situation.
Next, we create a detailed plan that addresses both function and aesthetics. We’ll explain material options, timeline, and any permits needed. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we break ground.
During installation, we handle proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage considerations. These aren’t the exciting parts, but they’re what separate hardscaping that lasts from hardscaping that fails. We use materials suited for our climate and install everything to code.
The result is outdoor space that works the way you intended, looks professional, and adds real value to your property.

Bristol County’s unique challenges—from coastal moisture to freeze-thaw cycles—require specific approaches to material selection and installation techniques. We factor in local soil conditions, typical drainage patterns, and the architectural styles common in Smith Mills when designing your hardscape.
