Why Arundel Homeowners Choose Stone Solutions Maine​

Stone Solutions Maine is locally owned and operated, serving Arundel and the surrounding Southern Maine area. Rob Howard, Master Stone Mason & Founder of Stone Solutions Maine, personally oversees every project from first consultation to final walkthrough. When you hire Stone Solutions Maine, you get Rob doing and supervising the work. Not a summer hire. Not a subcontractor.

With 30+ years of experience and 40+ five-star Google reviews, Rob has built a reputation that speaks for itself. His philosophy is simple: “I won’t sleep at night if the project isn’t done right and built to last.”

Arundel’s mix of historic farmhouseswooded residential lots, and newer custom builds along the Route 1 corridor gives it a character we know well. We understand Arundel’s terrain, from the wooded, root-heavy ground inland to the lower, wetter lots near the Kennebunk River, and select base materials accordingly.

Hardscaping Services in Arundel, Maine

From patios to granite steps to outdoor kitchens, Stone Solutions Maine offers a full range of hardscaping and masonry services. Here’s what we build:

Stone Patio Installation

well-built stone patio is one of the highest-return investments an Arundel homeowner can make, and one of the most used spaces on the property. Stone Solutions Maine installs natural stone patios (granite, bluestone, slate), interlocking concrete paver patios from brands like Techo-Bloc, Unilock, Nicolock, and E.P. Henry, and custom multi-level designs that work with your yard’s natural grade.

Every patio we build starts with a properly prepared base:  the right depth, the right drainage, and the right compaction for Maine’s freeze-thaw cycles. It’s the part of the job no one sees, and the part that matters most. Stone Solutions Maine selects materials based on your design goals, your budget, and what will perform through decades of Maine winters.

Granite Steps & Walkways

Granite steps are a New England classic for a reason: they’re nearly indestructible, handle freeze-thaw cycles without deteriorating, and look better with age. Stone Solutions Maine installs front entry granite steps, garden pathway steps, side-yard access stairs, and natural stone walkways throughout Arundel and Southern Maine.

Whether you’re replacing crumbling concrete steps or installing a new bluestone garden path, Stone Solutions Maine brings the same precision to the work: clean cuts, level setting, and proper drainage built in from the start.

Stone & Retaining Walls

A sloped yard can cause real drainage and erosion problems if left unaddressed. Retaining walls are one of the most practical investments an Arundel homeowner can make, turning unusable hillsides into flat, functional outdoor living space.

Stone Solutions Maine builds retaining walls using fieldstone, natural cut stone, and modular block systems depending on the site requirements. We have solved drainage and grading challenges throughout the area and bring that problem-solving experience to every project.

Driveways

Natural stone and paver driveways are among the most durable and visually striking upgrades available for Southern Maine properties. Stone Solutions Maine installs paver driveways using interlocking concrete pavers from premium brands, as well as natural stone driveway surfaces for properties where aesthetics match the investment.

Fire Pits, Outdoor Kitchens & Seating Walls

The best patios are built for living. Stone Solutions Maine builds custom fire pits, outdoor seating walls, and outdoor kitchens that extend how homeowners use their outdoor spaces well into Maine’s fall season. These outdoor living features are designed as part of the overall patio plan, not afterthoughts.

What to Expect When You Work With Us

We keep the process straightforward. Here’s how it works:

Free Consultation

Stone Solutions Maine visits your Arundel property, walks the space with you, listens to your ideas, and gives honest guidance on what will work best for your yard and your budget. We evaluate soil conditions on every site — clay, sand, rocky or root-heavy ground, coastal salt air exposure — and gives honest guidance on what materials and base preparation will perform best for your specific yard. If something won’t work the way you’re imagining, we’ll tell you and suggest what will.

Custom Design

Every project is designed for your specific yard. Materials, layout, features, and timing are discussed together. No cookie-cutter templates, no one-size-fits-all proposals.

Expert Installation

As a Southern Maine patio contractor with 30+ years of experience, Rob oversees all work personally. The crew you meet at the consultation is the crew that shows up on installation day. Projects are built to spec, on schedule.

Built to Last

Stone Solutions Maine uses only high-quality materials, including pre-sealed pavers from manufacturers like Cambridge and Ideal that require less maintenance and hold their appearance longer. We walk through care and maintenance with every client before the job is done: what to watch for, how to keep the stone looking its best, and which sealants make sense for your materials and environment. “Creating spaces where memories are made” isn’t just a tagline — it’s what we’re building toward on every project.

From the moment we had our consultation with Rob from Stone solutions it was quickly clear that we were going to hire him for our project. With 30 years of experience and confidence Rob was able to give us great advice and help us choose materials. He gave us a price for all work and materials and it was the exact same price upon completion! He said he was about 2 months out before he could start our project and he showed up with his team exactly two months when he said he would! Rob and his team work fast, efficient, and clean. They installed a 80’ walk way. Removed and hauled away existing material. Salvaged existing material. Removed and hauled away earth, rock, unforeseen cement, and soil. Relocated a plant we were quite attached to. Brought in a loam and compost mix for us where we will grow new grass and plant flowering shrubs. They even completed this project faster than they anticipated! The work is beautiful, the materials and installation are built for longevity, and the clean up was fantastic! We have hired a lot of different people to do work at our home inside and outside as we have done a great deal of renovations. I honestly wish I could give Rob and Stone Solutions a 10 star review. It was an absolute pleasure working with him from the first minute we met him until the last day when we said goodbye. I wish I could have this experience with everyone that we have hired. Thank you so much Rob.

I’ve wanted a custom stone patio for years, and I had so many disappointing engagements with so many local contractors that I sort of gave up. Then I met Rob. I called him on a Saturday afternoon when I was sitting across from him at an intersection and saw his number on the side of his truck. He was at my house the following Monday. I had an estimate by Wednesday. And when he couldn’t start the job within two days of when he told me, he called to let me know. It was fun to ramble on about what I wanted and then to have him give me that and even more! I have lots of projects done at my house and this was the most professional, beautifully done project I’ve had yet. His guys are so professional, kind and skilled AND I like their taste in music! I couldn’t wait until the end of each day to see the incredible progress they made and to see my little dream come to life more beautiful than I could have anticipated. The guys are coming back in September for more work and I know by the time they wrap that up, I’ll be on their list for next year. I own my own business and I don’t take writing a review lightly. I was happy to write this one. Thanks guys!! See you in September!

I have nothing but praise for Rob and his team and I would hire them again in a heartbeat! When I first met with Rob I didn't know if what I wanted was even possible within my budget. He was very patient and understanding that my budget was a priority, but that I understandably didn't want to lose out on quality craftsmanship or materials in the process. Rob was able to find a solution that worked and we are thrilled with the results! We went from having just a grassy hill in front of our house to a beautiful walkway with granite steps and intricately laid stone so our guests now have a way to access the front door. Rob is also a top-notch communicator and made the whole process so simple and stress-free for us. I highly recommend him and his crew and have already shared his contact info with others!

I would highly recommend Rob and his team for any patio or masonry project. Rob just completed a large patio project for me, which included removal of a large sitting wall, installation of new patio, custom stairs and a custom grill island. Rob was thorough at every step of the way making sure our expectations were aligned. His communication throughout was top notch and he was very easy to get ahold of whenever needed. Most importantly, the patio looks amazing and we couldn’t be happier.

Exceptional An exceptional experience from start to finish. Stone Solutions meticulous work keeps on giving. Over the past two weeks, since we have been living with the results of Rob’s design and workmanship, we feel our entire property has been transformed from a house to a home. Reliable If you are searching for that rare, reliable contractor who pays the utmost attention to detail, takes pride in his equipment, work, and delivers what he has promised, Rob and his crew are for you. Dependable Rob, owner of Stone Solutions, is a clear communicator who responds within a short period of time. His two-man crew has worked with him for over 20 years of his 30+ years focused on masonry. From the start of us contacting him, Rob confirmed a meeting time, showed up early, and evaluated the site of two walks and one patio. He was prepared with material suggestions and options to fit our budget. Over a period of five days, we exchanged ideas about design, materials, and budget. Rob encouraged us to “sleep on it” at the decision point for each of three designs. Equipment and materials were brought to the site on the dates Rob said to expect him. Rob provided estimates and when the work was done, he stuck to his proposal even though there were some unexpected change orders. Focused, Punctual, Accountable The crew and Rob work non-stop, harder, and with more focus than any craftsmen we have worked with. The crew arrived on time each morning and cleaned up the site each day before heading home. The speed at which the work was completed impressed us. Stone Solutions exceeded our expectations, on time, and on budget.

We had a fantastic experience with Rob and his team. Their work is so beautiful - I still can't believe the gorgeous patio they built is ours to enjoy! Rob was wonderful to work with and helped us meet a tight time-frame as we needed to move our hot tub to our new house in order to sell our old house. I also appreciate that Rob works with Maine companies for materials. Would recommend Stone Solutions Maine to anyone!

Frequently Asked Questions
– Patios & Hardscaping in Arundel

Do you serve Arundel, Maine?

Yes, Arundel and surrounding communities are one of our primary service areas in Southern Maine. Call 207-210-5133 to schedule a free consultation.

What types of patios do you install in Arundel?

Stone Solutions Maine installs natural stone patios (granite, bluestone, slate), interlocking paver patios (Techo-Bloc, Unilock, Nicolock, E.P. Henry), and custom multi-level designs. We work with you to choose the right material for your yard, your design vision, and your budget.

How much does a stone patio cost in Arundel, Maine?

Stone patio projects in Arundel typically start around $3,500 for a small paver patio with good site access, and range up to $16,000 or more for a mid-to-large natural stone installation. A full entertaining-size patio in pavers runs around $14,000; in bluestone or granite, expect more depending on size, materials, and design complexity. Add-ons like granite steps, retaining walls, or custom features are quoted separately.

The biggest variable most homeowners don’t anticipate is site access: sloped yards, narrow gates, or drainage issues can all affect the final number. The only way to get accurate pricing is a site visit. Contact Stone Solutions Maine at 207-210-5133 for a free, no-pressure estimate.

Do stone patios hold up to Maine winters?

Yes, when installed with the correct base depth, drainage, and material selection, natural stone and quality pavers are built to handle Maine’s freeze-thaw cycles for decades. This is exactly where Stone Solutions Maine’s 30 years of local experience matters most.

How long does a patio installation take?

Most residential patio projects take 3–7 days depending on scope, size, and site conditions. Stone Solutions Maine provides a detailed timeline during the consultation phase, so you know what to expect from start to finish.

Are you licensed and insured in Maine?

Yes. Stone Solutions Maine is fully licensed and insured for all hardscaping and masonry work in Maine.

Do I need a permit for a patio in Arundel, Maine?

It depends on your lot. Under Arundel’s Land Use Ordinance a patio counts as impervious surface, so lot-coverage limits can apply — and any property within the shoreland zone (within 250 feet of the Kennebunk River or a wetland, or 75 feet of a stream) is subject to setback and impervious-surface standards. The definitive source is Arundel’s Code Enforcement Officer; Stone Solutions Maine will flag shoreland or coverage issues during the site consultation.
