Who We Are

Built for Westchester's Rock, Soil, and Climate

Developing a lasting landscape in this part of New York takes more than dropping in fresh mulch and planting perennials. The ground here is full of granite ledge, tight clay, and uneven grades that direct runoff straight toward house foundations during spring thaws.

Our team combines structural site engineering with long-term plant care. Whether setting deep aggregate bases for stone terraces or running drainage lines to protect a new lawn, we make sure your grounds look clean and handle the elements without shifting or washing out.

What We Do

What We Do for Your Grounds and Stone

Turf management and ground care service on a Chappaqua, NY lawn

Ground Care & Turf Management

Healthy turf starts beneath the surface. Soil around here tends to compact easily, choking out grass roots. Our lawn management programs combine deep aeration, dethatching, and tailored organic feeding to break up hard earth and keep grass green through summer dry spells.

I hired Hilltop to reconstruct the planters in front of my house. The landscaping team was very professional and planted a variety of different plants and bushes that highlighted and brought bright colors to the front of the house. I highly recommend Hilltop for their outstanding landscaping services.

FAQ

Common Questions About Design and Construction

Small jobs like sod replacement, mulch spreading, or small garden bed installs take two to three days. Larger builds—such as multi-tiered retaining walls, custom flagstone patios, or total yard renovations—generally run two to four weeks depending on weather, site access, and digging conditions. We provide a firm timeline on your project proposal before work begins.
Pricing comes down to square footage, material selection, accessibility for equipment, and the amount of grading or base preparation required. Natural stone takes more hand labor than concrete pavers, and steep slopes require extra gravel backfill and drainage pipe. Everything is spelled out line by line on your estimate so there are no surprises midway through the project.
Yes. You pick the exact materials, from thermal bluestone and fieldstone to modern concrete pavers. During planning, we show you material samples and suggest native trees, shrubs, and perennials that suit your home's architecture and match the light conditions in your yard.
We don't walk away as soon as the stone is laid. Our team provides clear watering instructions for new grass and plantings, and we offer full ongoing lawn care, seasonal cleanups, and plant bed maintenance to keep your investment healthy year after year.
Hilltop Masonry & Landscaping is based locally and serves Chappaqua, NY along with neighboring towns across Westchester County. Our short travel times mean prompt site visits, reliable start dates, and quick follow-ups whenever you need us.
Steep hillsides need structural support to prevent washing away during heavy rain. We build engineered retaining walls using heavy natural boulders, dry-stacked wall stone, or interlocking concrete wall block. Every wall includes a deep gravel drainage trench and perforated pipe behind it to release hydrostatic pressure safely.
Yes. We regularly build custom outdoor living features including stone fire pits, built-in gas fireplaces, outdoor kitchen counters, and grill surrounds. We construct these features on poured reinforced concrete footings so they stay level and withstand heavy frost without cracking.
The secret to stonework that lasts lies under the surface. In our region, frost heave can easily push up flat stone if the base is shallow or wet. We excavate down to firm subsoil, lay crushed aggregate base in compacted lifts, and ensure proper pitch so water drains away from the stone surface immediately.
