Why Saco Homeowners Choose Stone Solutions Maine​

Stone Solutions Maine is locally owned and operated, serving Saco 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.”

Saco’s mix of coastal neighborhoods like Camp Ellis, Bay View, and Kinney Shores, the historic downtown along the Saco River, and the rolling lots inland gives it a character we know well. We understand Saco’s terrain, from the sandy soil near the beaches to the firmer ground inland, and select base materials accordingly.

Hardscaping Services in Saco, 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

A well-built stone patio is one of the highest-return investments a Saco 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 Saco 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 a Saco 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 Saco 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
– Patios & Hardscaping in Saco

Do you serve Saco, Maine?
Yes, Saco 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 Saco?

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 Saco, Maine?
Stone patio projects in Saco 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 Saco, Maine?
It depends on where the patio sits. Saco runs shoreland overlay districts covering land within 250 feet of Saco Bay, the Saco River, or a wetland, and within 75 feet of a stream, where setback and impervious-surface standards apply and a patio counts toward those limits. Riverfront lots also fall under the Saco River Corridor Commission, whose rules can be more restrictive. The definitive source is Saco’s Code Enforcement Officer, and Stone Solutions Maine will flag any shoreland or lot-coverage issues during the site consultation.
