Stein Construction provides site preparation, excavation, grading, drainage, retaining walls, hardscape, and exterior construction services throughout Boston and Greater Boston. Our equipment, masonry experience, and site construction knowledge allow us to manage the work from initial site preparation through final completion, with careful attention to site conditions, drainage, grading, and the finished result.
Successful exterior construction starts with proper site preparation.
Before patios, walkways, retaining walls or landscape improvements are installed, existing materials may need to be removed and the site excavated to the required elevations.
Our site preparation services can include demolition, excavation, material removal, aggregate placement, compaction and preparation for future construction.
We perform excavation for residential and commercial construction projects including:
Foundations • Retaining walls • Patios • Walkways • Driveways • Drainage systems • Utility trenches • Landscape improvements • Site walls
Excavation is coordinated with existing grades, access restrictions and the finished project requirements.
Proper grading helps control water and establishes the foundation for everything that follows.
We perform rough and finish grading for yards, buildings, hardscape, drainage improvements and landscape areas.
Grading can involve reshaping existing terrain, correcting low areas, preparing subgrades and creating appropriate drainage patterns away from structures.
Water is one of the most important considerations on any Massachusetts property.
Improper drainage can damage foundations, patios, retaining walls, lawns and other exterior improvements.
Depending on site conditions and design requirements, drainage work may include:
Retaining walls are often an important component of site development.
They can create usable space, stabilize grade changes and establish elevations for patios, parking areas, walkways and landscaping.
We construct segmental retaining walls and natural stone walls and coordinate excavation, base preparation, drainage and backfill as part of the installation.
Stein Construction works with general contractors, developers, property managers and commercial property owners on exterior site construction.
Commercial services can include excavation, grading, drainage, retaining walls, hardscape, granite, site masonry and landscape improvements.
General contractors can send civil, landscape and architectural plans for bid review.
One of our biggest strengths is the ability to handle several interconnected exterior scopes.
For example, a backyard renovation may require:
Excavation → Drainage → Retaining Wall → Grading → Patio → Walkways → Landscape Improvements
Coordinating these operations correctly can produce a better final project than treating each part independently.
A professionally installed walkway improves both access and curb appeal.
We construct front walkways, backyard paths, garden walkways, pool walkways and connections between outdoor living areas.
Materials can include pavers, granite and natural stone depending on the style of the property.
Homeowners commonly contact us when exterior problems involve more than landscaping alone.
A property may need drainage corrections, grading, retaining walls, excavation, new walkways and landscape restoration at the same time.
Our ability to combine those services allows us to approach the entire property rather than fixing only one visible symptom.
Our landscape construction services complement our masonry and hardscape work.
Projects can include landscape bed preparation, loam placement, planting areas, site restoration and exterior improvements associated with new construction.
Landscape work can also be coordinated with new retaining walls, patios, entrances, walkways and lighting.
Stein Construction combines experienced crews, equipment and site construction knowledge to handle excavation and exterior site work from preparation through completion.
Our site capabilities include:
Our service area includes Boston, Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth, Milton, Canton, Dedham, Norwood, Randolph, Holbrook, Hingham, Norwell, Hanover and surrounding Eastern Massachusetts communities.
Commercial opportunities may be considered throughout Massachusetts.
