Swenson Stone Works is a family-founded natural-stone company with a Hanover store, selling granite steps, posts, pavers, walls, and veneer, with delivery and limited installation for steps and posts. The company says it began in 1883 with John Swenson and is now part of the Polycor brand family. Its website describes the business as family-owned and operating across ten New England stores.
Customers repeatedly describe Swenson as a source for granite hardscape materials and installation help. Reviews from 2022 through 2025 mention granite staircases, front-step landings, granite steps, mailbox and light posts, benches, fire-pit stones, and garden borders. Reviewers specifically praise careful placement and leveling, on-time delivery, product knowledge, clear options, and installers who check elevations, fit, and final placement. A 2022 customer described a 5-by-16-inch landing installed at the correct elevations; another described a 4-by-6-foot landing and steps installed seamlessly. A commercial sign shop also described Swenson coordinating and holding specific posts for a historic Plymouth project.
The company appears especially suited to customers who need substantial granite products delivered and set, rather than a general masonry crew for every type of construction. Before booking, confirm whether the requested work is product supply, delivery, or one of the limited installation services, and clarify the installation scope, site access, elevations, shipping, and timing. One older review praised the products while noting they were not inexpensive, though the customer expected the fire-pit stones and garden borders to last.
Swenson is a reasonable call for granite steps, posts, landings, and related stone hardscape where product selection and careful delivery matter. Ask the Hanover team to confirm the exact material, bracket or mounting system, delivery method, and who will perform the final setting for your project.
