Maddocks Masonry & Landscaping | Expert Landscapers in Cambridge, VT

Our Vermont freeze-thaw cycles can cause significant ground movement. For rock gardens and retaining walls in Cambridge, we focus on proper foundational techniques. This includes excavating to the correct frost depth, installing a compacted gravel base for drainage, and using geogrid reinforcement for taller walls. For natural stone work, we interlock stones carefully to create a stable, gravity-defying structure that can withstand seasonal shifts, preventing the common problem of rock garden displacement.

Absolutely. As a full-service landscape and masonry company, we manage the entire project. We'll construct your patio, walkways, or any exterior walls with natural stone, pavers, or brick. Then, we seamlessly integrate the landscaping—from irrigation and drainage systems to the final planting and greenscaping. This integrated approach ensures a cohesive design where the hardscape and softscape complement each other perfectly, all managed by our team from start to finish.

With over 15 years of focused masonry experience, we specialize in several key areas for homeowners. This includes functional and decorative dry-stack or mortared stone retaining walls, stone staircases for navigating slopes, and durable walkways and patios. We also install thin stone veneer for exterior accents. Whether it's a classic Vermont fieldstone wall or a modern patio, we use time-tested techniques to build structures that are both beautiful and built to last for generations.
