Our Hardscaping Services
Patio Design & Installation
We design and install custom paver and natural stone patios that extend your living space outdoors. Using premium interlocking pavers and proper base preparation, our patios resist freeze-thaw damage and stay level for decades. Every patio is tailored to your property's layout, drainage, and how you plan to use the space.
Retaining Walls
Our engineered retaining walls hold back soil, manage drainage, and create usable terraced spaces on sloped properties. We build with segmental block, natural fieldstone, and poured concrete systems — all reinforced with geo-grid fabric and proper drainage. We handle permitting for walls over four feet and ensure every wall meets Massachusetts building code.
Walkways & Pathways
We install paver and natural stone walkways that connect your home, garden, and outdoor living areas with safe, slip-resistant surfaces. Our walkways are built on a compacted aggregate base with proper grading to prevent settling and water pooling. From simple garden paths to grand entry walkways, we deliver craftsmanship that complements your home's character.
Outdoor Steps & Stairs
We build durable outdoor steps and stairs from cut granite, segmental block, and natural stone to safely navigate sloped terrain and connect patio levels. Every set of steps is engineered for proper rise and run, solid footing, and long-term stability through New England's freeze-thaw cycles. Steps can be integrated with retaining walls and walkways for a cohesive landscape design.
Garden Borders & Edging
Our stone and paver garden borders define planting beds, separate lawn from hardscape, and add a polished finish to your landscape. We install natural fieldstone, cut granite, and paver edging that resists shifting and keeps mulch and soil in place. Edging is both functional and decorative, giving your property a clean, maintained look year-round.
Drainage Solutions
Proper drainage is essential to protecting your hardscape investment in New England's wet climate. We install permeable pavers, French drains, catch basins, and grading solutions that direct water away from patios, walls, and foundations. Our drainage systems prevent erosion, ice buildup, and water damage — extending the life of every hardscape feature we build.

Custom Paver Patio Design & Installation
A beautifully designed paver patio is the foundation of any great outdoor living space. At New England Star, we specialize in custom patio construction using premium Techo-Bloc and Belgard interlocking pavers engineered for New England's harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Our patios are built on a properly excavated and compacted aggregate base to prevent settling and cracking for decades.
Whether you want a simple backyard patio for weekend barbecues or a sprawling entertainment area with built-in seating walls and fire features, our in-house crew handles every phase — from excavation and grading to polymeric sand installation and professional stone sealing. We serve homeowners across Fall River, Somerset, Swansea, and Tiverton.
Engineered Stone Retaining Wall Construction
Retaining walls are critical structural elements that prevent soil erosion, manage water drainage, and create usable terraced spaces on sloped properties. New England Star builds engineered retaining walls using segmental block, natural fieldstone, and poured concrete systems — all reinforced with geo-grid fabric and proper drainage for long-term structural integrity.
Every retaining wall project starts with a thorough site assessment, including soil analysis and grading evaluation. We handle the full permitting process for walls over 4 feet in Fall River, Somerset, and surrounding towns. Our walls are built to exceed Massachusetts building code requirements and withstand decades of New England weather.
Need a full excavation before your wall goes in? We handle that too — our crew manages site clearing, grading, and foundation preparation as part of every retaining wall project.
Custom Outdoor Living Space Design & Build
Transform your backyard into an extension of your home with custom outdoor living spaces designed and built by New England Star. We create fully integrated entertainment areas featuring fire pits, outdoor kitchens, built-in seating walls, pergolas, and decorative stone masonry finishes. Every project is designed around how you actually use your outdoor space.
Our outdoor kitchen installations include granite or bluestone countertops, built-in gas or charcoal grills, refrigeration cutouts, and custom stone veneer bases. Fire features range from simple wood-burning fire pits to natural gas fire tables with automated ignition. All of our outdoor living projects integrate seamlessly with fencing and landscaping for a complete property transformation.
