MC Stonedesign Inc

A stone wine cellar sits in the portfolio, next to stonewalls, steps and stoops, patios and walkways, and fire pits — 11 projects on MC Stonedesign's Houzz page, posted by a Duxbury company that describes its own work as "High End Stone work installation including Hardscape." The listed scope reaches past decorative stone: retaining walls, paver installation, brick and stone masonry, concrete driveways and concrete repair, foundation construction, land leveling and grading, excavating, even stone sales. Job costs on the profile run from $100 to $250,000, so a single set of brick steps and a whole yard are both on the menu. The territory is the South Shore — Pembroke, Plymouth, Marshfield, Hingham, Scituate, Duxbury, Hanover, Kingston and Norwell among the towns named. This is the shop to call when the stonework is meant to be looked at: a patio, a wall, a fire pit. Ask to walk a finished job near you, because masonry is judged with your own eyes; pin down the base prep and drainage behind any retaining wall; and with a price range that wide, get your own number in writing before anyone breaks ground.
