The company says it has been in business for 20 years. A recent customer said Selvin and his crew removed a rotted railroad tie retaining wall and replaced it with a stacked stone wall, then replaced an old brick patio with a Cambridge paver patio that included a 7'x7' concrete pad for a new tub. A recent customer said Selvin laid a bluestone sidewalk with gentle curves across their front yard and planted grass to work it into the yard. A recent customer said Selvin built a new paver walkway and patio for them in 2 days. A recent customer said Selvin installed two new walkways and a patio with a fire pit. A 2024 customer said Selvin and his team built a retaining wall from natural stone found on their property, removed and disposed of the old railroad ties and salvaged plants. A 2024 customer said the team redid the barrier around a basement window where they were having flooding, building a new retaining wall and trenching a drain from the gutter runoff away from the house. A 2024 customer said the company repaired their fireplace inside and outside. A 2023 customer said Selvin made a fireplace mantle from fieldstone found on their property, redid their chimney in fieldstone, and restored an 18th century stone wall. A 2024 customer said Selvin used an overly wet load of cement the supplier delivered for half of a job, leaving one big crack where the two pours meet; the cement company agreed to seal the job for free. **Strengths:** - A stacked stone wall — a recent customer said it replaced rotted railroad ties - A two-day patio — a recent customer said a walkway and patio took 2 days - A bluestone sidewalk — a recent customer said Selvin laid it with curves - A property-stone wall — a 2024 customer said stone came from their land **Concerns:** - A cracked cement job — a 2024 customer said a wet load caused a crack ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer said Selvin and his crew replaced a rotted railroad tie retaining wall with a stacked stone wall and built a Cambridge paver patio. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21aNlNsVklZVWx4YzJJMGVrVlBhMWx5U2w5alVWRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x34736dcf06b5cbbf!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmZ6SlVIYUlxc2I0ekVPa1lySl9jUVE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Selvin and his crew did two major projects for us.
