About Stone Solutions Maine Hardscape Company
Hi, I’m Rob Howard and if you’re reading this, there’s a chance you’re considering Stone Solutions Maine for a home improvement project such as a stone patio, walkway or a stone siding wall on the front of your house. I’ve been lucky enough to work with hundreds of clients over my 30 years in the business and I’m proud of the reputation and relationships I’ve built along the way.
From the first meeting on, I take pride in caring for your property, family, pets, and budget as if they were my own. And please don’t just take my word for it: If you know any of my past customers, I encourage you to ask them about my work and I also suggest that you read my Google Reviews. We’re all about transparency at Stone Solutions, so here are a couple of other things I think you should know about me and the team.
Exceptional Customer Service
I started Stone Solutions Maine because I was so unhappy with how the last company I worked for went about its business. There was so little regard for the quality of products and how people were treated. I’m the kind of guy who can’t sleep at night if a job isn’t done right, and I decided I could never again work for a company that didn’t feel the same.
People often tell me how they tried contacting other businesses first and couldn’t even get a callback. It’s a common complaint heard about other contractors, but not one you’ll have to worry about with me. As a professional hardscaping contractor, if I’m already booked up and can’t take your job, I will always let you know — and I’ll happily share referrals for other good companies if you’re interested. And if you ever need to call back because of a problem with a finished project (which I promise is rare!), we’ll answer the call and be back as soon as we can.
Versatility and Creativity
On any given week I may work on a stone patio, indoor veneer walls, a staircase project, or a stone sidewalk. Browse the pages of my services section to get a sense of the range of projects and designs we have completed to date. I’ve been asked which types of jobs I like to work on best. It’s a tough call, but I do love the creative challenge that can come with an outdoor fireplace project. There’s an artistry involved in the design and construction of not just the fireplace, but the surrounding features that help build the ambiance of the gathering area.
Quality Work At A Fair Price
You can find less expensive masonry companies in the area, and if that’s your top priority, I get it. I would only caution that sometimes the “cheapest” option ends up costing you more in the end.
Unfortunately, we receive a number of calls from customers asking us to fix other contractors’ subpar work. It’s not always simple. Sometimes there’s no other choice but to rip out all of the stone and start over.
I often tell people, 90 percent of the work of stone masonry is in the preparation stage — the below-ground work you never see or think about. Anybody can do window dressing work on top of the ground and walk away from the job with it looking great, but if the underlying base is inadequate it will lead to failure.
Hardscaping and Masonry are My Passions
I spend my all-too-few hours of spare time enjoying nature, yoga, tapping, meditating, eating healthy, and pursuing holistic wellness. I had a conversation with my wife recently about how I can incorporate these sources of positivity into my work, and she made a great observation: I’ve been doing it more than I realized through my interactions with customers. I also care deeply about the environment and choose to use natural materials and green building practices whenever possible. I contribute my time and funding to charitable organizations dedicated to issues I care about, including organic food movement and animal welfare.
I’m a Lifelong Mainer
I was born in Portland and grew up in South Portland, where I attended high school with my wife. To this day, most of my work is in the coastal/southern Maine towns I’ve enjoyed since my childhood – great places like Kennebunk, Scarborough, Falmouth, Old Orchard Beach, and Freeport. Today we’re building our dream home on a quiet 5-acre property in New Gloucester, where we can grow our own food and enjoy the small-town charm. I have a lifetime’s understanding of the challenges and rewards of building and creating in our climate and would love the opportunity to create a special, functional outdoor living space for you where you will make memories with family and friends to last a lifetime

We are so happy with our new fireplace and patio built by Stone Solutions of Maine. They were professional, trustworthy and have exceptional craftsmanship. The contract/quote was detailed and owner Rob was transparent with any potential additional cost. I would highly recommend their service and have full intentions for using them for future projects.
