OUTDOOR LIFESTYLES LLC

Sixteen years after Michael DeLuca laid a paver patio and retaining wall for one customer, the stonework had held up — in a January 2022 review, that homeowner wrote it was a feature when they sold the house. Another customer, writing in May 2022, said the pavers on the front walkway and back patio he designed still looked newly laid a year on. Outdoor Lifestyles builds hardscaped outdoor living spaces around the Merrimack Valley: fieldstone and brick, granite steps, walkways, patios and retaining walls. The site says the company was established in 2020 and is owned by Mike DeLuca, and lists towns from Atkinson, Derry, Londonderry, Salem and Windham across into Amesbury, Newburyport and West Newbury. The newest account is also the largest. In July 2026, Mike and Dave rebuilt a Windham, New Hampshire backyard — a fieldstone wall, a large brick paver patio, a brick walkway, and stone steps up to the porch and to an upper garden. A July 2024 review describes a granite and paver staircase climbing to a tennis court, plus a walkway and drainage run in stone pavers and cobblestones, edged by a stone retaining wall. The small things show up too. In a June 2025 review, the pair replanted flowers before setting granite stairs and swapped out a stair tread they noticed was stained. A May 2022 customer said the posts and stonework looked original to the property. On Houzz in January 2022, a homeowner who had hired hardscapers before called this the best of those experiences, and the price a good one. Design is half the job here: January 2022 reviewers describe handing Mike the parameters for how they wanted to use a space and getting back a laid-out plan with distinct sections. Houzz lists him as an ICPI Certified Installer, with 13 projects on the profile. One thing to square up: the site dates the business to 2020, while that 16-year-old patio was built well before then, so ask who built the job you are being shown and when. For a patio, a walkway, granite steps or a retaining wall in southern New Hampshire or the northern Massachusetts towns on the list, this is a specialist worth a call — ask to see a job from a few years back, since how the stonework ages is the interesting part, and settle the build window for your season.
