Natural Stone Patio Project in Bolton, Massachusetts

Project Summary

This Bolton, Massachusetts project is a natural stone patio, built with irregular flagstone hand-set piece by piece. Unlike a paver patio, every stone here is fitted individually, which is what gives the finished space its natural, one-of-a-kind look. The photos run in order, from site prep through to the finished patio.

From Bare Ground to Finished Stone Patio

Preparing the Site :

The project began by clearing and laying out the patio area, setting stakes and string lines to mark the exact shape and grade. Getting the layout and levels right at this stage is what everything else is built on.

Building the Base

Our crew spread a crushed stone base across the area and graded it to shape, pitched so water runs away from the house. A natural stone patio is only as solid as the base underneath it.

Leveling to Grade

We compacted the base in layers and used a laser level to bring the whole surface to an exact, even grade. This precision is what keeps a hand-set stone patio flat and stable underfoot.

Setting the Stone

With the base ready, our crew hand-set each piece of natural flagstone, fitting the irregular shapes together like a puzzle and filling the joints. This is slow, skilled work, and it is what gives the patio its natural character.

The Finished Patio​

The finished patio wraps around the back of the home in natural flagstone, paired with a natural stone fire pit and a stone retaining wall that ties the whole space together. Built entirely in natural stone, it is made to weather Massachusetts seasons and only look better with age.

Materials / brand line:

We build patios in natural stone and pavers, not concrete, because they hold up better to New England winters and age well over time. M Coelho Group has been building outdoor spaces across Massachusetts since 2003, and we are licensed and insured in MA.
