No more standing water after storms. No more watching your landscaping wash away every spring. No more wishing you had decent outdoor entertainment space.
Quality hardscaping changes everything. You get patios that handle New England freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. Walkways that guide guests safely through your landscape year-round. Retaining walls that solve those drainage headaches while adding serious visual appeal to your Providence County property.
Your outdoor space becomes an extension of your home where you actually want to spend time. Weekend cookouts happen on solid surfaces. Kids play safely on level ground. When evening comes, your outdoor lighting keeps the party going because you finally have spaces designed for real life.
Above and Beyond Chimney brings over 25 years of masonry experience to hardscaping throughout Providence County. We understand how Rhode Island’s coastal moisture affects stone and brick. We know exactly how freeze-thaw cycles impact different materials.
Our hardscaping comes from a masonry background, which means we understand stone, concrete, and construction at a deeper level than typical landscaping companies. We focus on structural integrity—proper footings, adequate base preparation, and installation techniques that prevent settling and shifting.
Cranston homeowners face unique challenges with clay soils that don’t drain well and seasonal weather extremes. We’ve been solving these problems for years, so we know which materials and methods actually work in our area.
First, we assess your property’s drainage patterns and soil conditions. Every Cranston property is different, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we start moving dirt around.
Next comes proper site preparation. This isn’t just digging a hole and throwing down some pavers. We excavate to the right depth, install proper base materials, and create the drainage solutions that prevent problems down the road. In Providence County, this step makes the difference between hardscaping that lasts decades and hardscaping that fails in two years.
Then we install your features using materials specifically chosen for Rhode Island weather. Natural stone, concrete pavers, and brick that can handle our climate extremes. We pay attention to proper spacing, joint sand, and edge restraints—the details that keep everything in place when the ground freezes and thaws.

Every installation includes proper drainage solutions. In Cranston, we often work with clay soils that create standing water problems.
