Smart Drainage & Quality Masonry

Real Stone, Smart Drainage, and Yards Built for Westchester Weather

Getting a property to look good while managing heavy slopes and rainwater runoff takes a practical touch. Between heavy clay soil and elevation swings across Yorktown, NY and Northern Westchester, off-the-shelf landscape design & installation plans usually fail after a couple of harsh seasons. We look closely at how water moves across your yard before laying a single stone or planting a tree.

Whether you need a dry-stacked retaining wall to hold back a shifting hill or a paver patio for weekend cookouts, our hardscape design & installation focus stays on solid prep work and heavy base materials that last.

From custom stone masonry to complete site development and driveway installation, our experienced team provides personalized service from start to finish.

What We Do

Everything We Do for Your Lawn and Hardscape in Yorktown

Every property has different needs. That's why we offer a complete range of landscaping and hardscaping services designed to help homeowners and businesses maximize their outdoor investment.

Seasonal Maintenance & Yard Care

Keeping a lawn clean takes consistent effort as seasons change. Spring cleanup clears off winter storm branches, summer heat calls for turf care, and fall leaf drops quickly smother grass if left sitting. We handle the heavy chores on a steady schedule so your outdoor space stays tidy year-round.

Design and Planting That Actually Thrives

Why Choose Us

40 Years Working Northern Westchester Soil

Hilltop Masonry & Landscaping started four decades ago. Over that time, we have handled almost every soil issue, ledge outcrop, and drainage challenge local properties can throw at a contractor.

Deep Local Knowledge

We know local municipal codes, soil profiles, and which plant varieties deer leave alone in our neighborhood.

Four Decades on the Job

41 years in business means we know how materials age over decades, not just how they look on installation day.

Tailored Property Layouts

No two lots share the same grade or sun exposure. We design around your site's physical reality rather than using template designs.

Built for Tough Winters

From wall bases to paver sand, we use heavy stone, natural blue stone, and crushed aggregate bases that resist freeze-thaw shifting.

Our Process

How a Typical Project Runs in Yorktown, NY

Clear communication keeps jobs running on time without unwanted surprises. Here is how we handle work from start to finish:

On-Site Consultation

We meet at your property to inspect site slopes, measure the footprint, assess drainage, and talk through what you want to accomplish.

Layout and Material Choices

Next, we sketch out a functional design and pick stone styles, paver patterns, or plant choices suited to your home.

Excavation and Build

Our crew handles base digging, compaction, stone setting, and planting according to strict engineering and trade standards.

Final Walkthrough

We review the completed build together to ensure every stone is tight, water flows correctly, and the workspace is swept clean.

"What a pleasure to work with Glenn Griffen and his son Glenn Jr. and their team! They have been in the business for a long time and are still so excited to execute beautiful landscaping that matches the costumers vision! Their guidance and suggestions are what I needed. They removed overgrown landscaping and replanted the front of my house. I love the results. We also removed dead trees, did repair masonry work, and added to our sprinkler system. They can do it all! One stop shopping and a real pleasure to work with. I am one very happy costumer!🌺🌹🌻🦚🌳🌼"

"Glenn and crew do great work. I have entrusted multiple projects to them (most recently plantings around the pool) and each is done with the utmost care. I’m always asked at the end (and during) if I’m satisfied or if anything needs to be changed (and it is if it needs be). I wouldn’t hesitate to use them. Just fantastic work."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscaping and Hardscaping in Yorktown, NY

Most standard patio or wall builds take three to seven working days once excavation starts. Larger projects—like multi-tiered patios with integrated outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or long retaining walls—often run two to three weeks. Rain can slow down excavation and base compaction, so we monitor the forecast closely and give you an updated timeline before breaking ground.
We visit your property in person before writing up a figure. During that visit, we check machine access, measure the work area, look for hidden drainage issues, and discuss material preferences like natural bluestone or stone pavers. After inspecting the site, we give you a detailed written estimate covering base work, materials, and labor so you know exact costs up front.
Combining structural stone work with fresh garden beds gives you the best overall result. Soft green plantings balance the hard lines of a walkway or stone wall. We choose shrubs and ground covers that fill in nicely around stonework without sending aggressive root systems into paver joints or wall footings.
We offer ongoing property management to protect your new lawn and beds. That includes regular mowing, core aeration, weed control, bark mulching, and shrub trimming. Keeping fresh turf and young plants properly maintained during their first few seasons protects your investment for years to come.
Yes. We cover homes and businesses across Yorktown Heights, Crompond, Jefferson Valley, and neighboring towns in Northern Westchester. Being based right here allows us to visit job sites quickly and handle service requests without long delays.
Hardscaping work runs from early spring through late autumn, as long as the ground remains unfrozen. Deep digging and aggregate base compaction require workable soil. For lawn turf replacement and new seed, early autumn or mid-spring offer ideal growing conditions. We take consultation bookings all year long so you can plan projects ahead of peak season.
Drainage is the most important part of any stone build around here. Water trapped behind a retaining wall freezes in winter, expanding and pushing the wall outward until it fails. We pack thick crushed stone bases, set heavy perforated drain pipe wrapped in filter fabric, and angle all surfaces away from your foundation to carry runoff off safely.
In our climate, stone pavers perform much better over time than poured concrete. Large concrete slabs tend to crack across broad sections when ground underneath freezes and heaves. Interlocking pavers sit on a flexible sand and gravel bed, which lets individual stones flex slightly without cracking. If a paver ever gets damaged, we can lift and replace that single piece quickly.
