Stone is the signature of a Fairfield County property. The fieldstone walls lining old town roads, the granite steps to a front door, the veneer that turns a plain foundation into a finished home — this is work that has to be done right, because it's meant to outlast everyone involved. MRO Landscaping has spent more than 15 years as a masonry contractor in Fairfield County CT, building and restoring stone walls, steps, veneer, and chimneys for homeowners who care how their property looks from the street and from the kitchen window. Licensed, insured, BBB accredited, and happy to provide a free estimate on any project.
What's Included
Our masonry work covers the structures that define a property: freestanding and retaining stone walls in fieldstone, granite, and other natural stone; stone veneer for foundations, facades, and outdoor features; natural stone steps and entryways; chimney work; and repairs or restoration of existing stonework. As a stone wall builder in Connecticut, we work in both dry-laid and mortared styles — including repairs to the older walls that give towns like Ridgefield and Redding their character.
Every project starts with the part you never see: proper footing, base preparation, and drainage behind retaining structures. Stonework fails from the inside out, and ours is built so it doesn't.
How We Work
1. Free on-site estimate. We look at the site, the stone, and the conditions — soil, slope, water — and talk through what you want the finished work to look like.
2. Material selection. We help you choose stone that suits your home and your budget, whether that's local fieldstone to match an existing wall or a clean-cut veneer for a more modern look.
3. Site preparation. Footings, base, and drainage are done correctly before a single visible stone is set. This is the step that separates work that lasts decades from work that fails in five winters.
4. Craftsmanship. Stone is set by hand, by masons who have done this for over 15 years. We keep the site organized and clean as we go.
5. Final walkthrough. We review the finished work with you, explain any care it needs (usually none), and leave the property cleaner than we found it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a stone wall cost in Connecticut?
Cost depends on the wall's length, height, stone type, and whether it's dry-laid or mortared — and whether it's retaining soil, which adds engineering requirements. Rather than quote a misleading per-foot range, we provide a free on-site estimate with a firm price for your specific wall.
Stone veneer vs natural stone — which is better for my home?
Full natural stone offers unmatched authenticity and is often the right choice for walls and steps. Stone veneer delivers a very similar look for facades and foundations at lower cost and weight. We install both, and we'll give you an honest comparison for your specific project rather than push one option.
How long do natural stone steps last?
Properly installed natural stone steps last for generations — it's common to see century-old granite steps in Connecticut still in daily use. The key is correct base preparation and drainage, which is exactly where we don't cut corners.
Can you repair an existing old stone wall instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Many older fieldstone walls can be rebuilt in sections, reusing the original stone so the repair blends with the rest of the wall. We'll assess whether repair or rebuild makes more sense and price both honestly.
Do you handle the landscaping around the stonework?
Yes — and it's one of the advantages of working with us. We design and install plantings, lawns, and drainage alongside masonry, so the wall and the landscape around it are planned as one project instead of patched together by separate contractors.
