Looking for an outdoor fireplace? This Cambridge Canyon Ledge outdoor fireplace was installed in conjunction with a paver patio to add usable space to the customers’ pool area.

This Proline Electric Radiant Heat Solutions designed system was installed in Manchester NH for a couple that wants nothing to do with shoveling snow off their walkway ever again. The existing poured concrete walk was removed and Genest Hollandstone pavers were installed in a Herringbone pattern. The system was designed to allow for future expansion to the driveway.

On this 800Sq/Ft engineered retaining wall project in Haverhill Massachusetts, Anchor Diamond Pro wall block, purchased from Genest Concrete was selected. A no fines concrete mix of 7:1, 3/4″ stone to cement, was installed as the infill material to allow for wall stabilization and 100% drainage permeability. The mix was supplied by Kingston RedTMix of Methuen Massachusetts. After installing the Torpedo block base row, and 1 row of wall block by hand, the remaining 700Sq/Ft of wall block was installed by 4 employees using the PaveTool Quick-e-Clamp in less than 8 hours with no employee ever lifting a block. About 40,000 photos make up this timelapse.

This outdoor living space hardscape project in Bedford, NH included the construction of a double-tiered raised patio, sitting walls, fireplace, grill unit, granite steps, paver walkway, and plantings. Techo-Bloc Blu60 slabs make up the patios. Mini Creta wall block was used for the sitting walls, retaining walls, and grill unit. A Tech-Bloc foyer fireplace unit was installed. The granite steps were from Swenson Granite Works. Tech-Bloc Allegro pavers were used for the walkway from the patio to the driveway and plant material from Freshwater Farms was installed. Fifty-six pallets of material created this outdoor living space which will be enjoyed for years to come!

This project took a little over a month to complete. This is our largest time lapse to date.  Over 80,000 photos make up this video below!

This backyard makeover in Windham NH consisted of removing a wood deck, old stone walls, trees, and an old SRW wall. The new landscape design by Interstate Landscape included a new upper and lower patio, a fire pit, night lighting, front yard and backyard retaining walls, a retaining wall to support the shed, a swimming pool, a children’s play area, plantings, and a new lawn.

Materials from Hudson Quarry for the project were: 30 pallets of Anchor Highland and Diamond SRW block, 12 pallets of Genest Acadia paving stones, and a Genest Fire Pit kit. Materials from Swenson Granite include granite pillar caps and 25 granite steps. 18 Garden Light night lighting fixtures were installed. 60 plants from Freshwater Farms were planted. The sod and seed came from Tim’s Turf and Landscaping Materials. Over 400 yards of fill and over 100 yards of loam were spread.

On this 4000 sqft permeable paver driveway in Londonderry, NH, Genest Tidewater 80mm pavers were used as the main body of the driveway with Belgard Mega-Bergerac 14″ x 14″ slabs as a border. Techo-Bloc Tundra curbing was also installed at the street end of the driveway. Several circle packs of Genest Katahdin 60mm pavers were also installed. On this project after doing several test holes to determine base soils, a full exfiltration system was chosen. After twenty-one inches of soil and asphalt excavation was completed, a highly permeable soil stabilization fabric was installed over the uncompacted subsoils. Twelve inches of #2 stone was then installed in 6-inch lifts compacted with a Weber CR8 compactor. A second layer of fabric was installed on top of the #2 stone just below four inches of  #57 stone. The two layers of fabric were installed strictly for use as soil stabilization. After the 4 inches of compacted #57 stone was installed, a two-inch layer of #8 stone was installed for bedding of the pavers and slabs. Snap Edge edge restraint was used to secure the system. Several hundred pieces of 30″ rebar were used to secure the Snap Edge. Each piece of rebar was then connected together using 10′ long rebar sections that were wire tied to each 30″ piece. The paver joints were infilled with Alliance Gator Aqua Rock.

This permeable paver project in Hampstead NH received state permitting and approvals approximately 2 months after the application process started. All excavation in NH within 250 feet of the high water mark of a pond, lake, stream, or the ocean requires state permitting and falls under the laws of the Shoreline Protection Act. Interstate Landscape provided the design and product specifications for the project. All sub-base, base, and bedding materials were open graded clean stone material. The sub-soils were sandy so a full exfiltration system design was chosen. Genest Acadia pavers manufactured in Sanford ME were used. Anchor 3″ and 6″ Highland Stone was used for the retaining wall system. The fire pit is also an Anchor Wall system product. Granite steps quarried in Barre VT were supplied by Swenson Granite. Nighlighting fixtures were added to enhance safety and evening visibility.

On this small retaining wall project in Goffstown NH, Anchor Diamond Block was used to re-stabilize the parking area on the side of the driveway. The original retaining wall installed many years ago by the homeowner had failed. We reused the existing block for our buried footing courses, and installed the new Diamond Block on top of the old block which was still in excellent condition. We then installed 3/4″ stone and a 4″ drain pipe behind the Diamond Block. The existing sandy gravel fill was used as our infill soil behind our column of 3/4″ stone. The infill soil was compacted in 3″ to 5″ lifts to attain the NCMA specification of 95% Proctor Density. Geogrid was placed every 18″ to help stabilize the infill soil. Sonotubes were installed every 6 feet for a future fence installation. A flat shelf was built at the toe face of the wall. Stone was placed on the shelf and below it on the slope, to prevent erosion of the existing soil.

On this 6000 sqft driveway installation project in Southern NH, Techo Bloc Antika and Villagio pavers were used to create a combination permeable and interlocking paver system. The permeable section was built at the bottom of the driveway slope to collect water runoff. Alliance permeable paver infill stone was used to infill the paver joints to allow water to penetrate in to the system. The interlocking section was installed on the driveway slope and Techniseal RG+ polymeric sand was used to infill and stabilize the paver joints. The use of color banding of the pavers adds aesthetic beauty to the project. A Danfoss under paver heating system melts snow and ice during the winter season. The construction process included removing the old asphalt, removing old base material and replacing it with ICPI approved base material, and installing two layers of soil stabilization geosynthetic fabric. The new base material was installed in 3″ – 5″ lifts and compacted with a Weber CR-8 13500 lb cf compactor to achieve 98% Proctor Density. The pavers were then sealed with a Techniseal Wet Look sealer to enhance and protect the color and durability of the pavers.
