Outdoor Kitchens
Plan an outdoor kitchen around how you cook, entertain, store essentials, and move between the house, patio, dining, and gathering areas.
Masonry in Mendham Borough and Mendham Township
We work in both Mendham Borough and Mendham Township. Front walkways and stone steps are among the most requested projects here, often alongside a backyard patio or a retaining wall on a sloped lot. Our services also include paver driveways, masonry repair, pool patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and outdoor fireplaces.
Walkways and front steps
A good front walkway is wide enough for two people, drains away from the house, and meets the steps and landing at comfortable heights. Curves can follow the landscape, but the walking line should still feel direct. If steps are crumbling or pulling away from the house, we check the footing and base before recommending a repair or a rebuild.
Backyard patios and grade changes
Where the yard slopes, a short retaining wall or seat wall can create a level patio and a clear edge. Plan the patio size around furniture and circulation, and decide early whether a fire pit or outdoor kitchen will be added later so the base and utilities can be prepared.
Mendham permits
Mendham Borough's Zoning Office says patios and walkways need zoning compliance review, and walls require a zoning permit issued before construction. Mendham Township has its own offices, so confirm the rules for your address before work begins.
Common question: pavers or natural stone for a front walkway?
Both work. Pavers offer consistent sizes and easy repairs; natural stone suits older homes and existing stone features. We can show options that match the house.
