Professional masonry services that handle Connecticut winters and enhance your property value for decades.

You’re looking at masonry work because something needs to be built right the first time. Maybe it’s a chimney that’s been giving you trouble, a retaining wall to solve that drainage nightmare, or finally creating the outdoor space you’ve been planning.
Here’s what changes when the work is done properly. Your chimney draws correctly and heats efficiently without safety concerns. That slope behind your house stops washing away every spring because the retaining wall actually holds. Your new patio becomes the place where your family gathers, where you entertain, where you spend summer evenings instead of wishing you had somewhere better to sit outside.
The difference between masonry done right and masonry done wrong isn’t subtle. It’s the difference between a 30-year investment and a 3-year headache. When stonework is built to handle Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles, when materials are chosen for our specific climate, when the foundation work is done correctly from the start – that’s when you stop worrying about it and start enjoying it.
Roots Landscaping LLC has been handling masonry projects throughout Washington Depot and the surrounding area for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.
Connecticut’s weather is tough on masonry. The freeze-thaw cycles, the wet springs, the temperature swings – they’ll find every weak point in substandard work. That’s why we use techniques and materials specifically chosen for our climate, not generic approaches that work fine in Georgia but fail here after two winters.
We’re local, licensed, and we’ve seen what happens when masonry work is done wrong. We’ve also seen how satisfying it is for homeowners when it’s done right the first time.
First, we come look at your property and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish. We’ll assess the site conditions, drainage, access, and any existing structures that affect the work. You’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why, plus a realistic timeline.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle permits if needed and schedule the work around weather and your schedule. We start with proper site preparation – excavation, drainage considerations, foundation work. This part isn’t glamorous, but it’s what determines whether your masonry lasts 5 years or 50 years.
Then comes the actual masonry work. We source quality materials, often locally when possible, and build everything to handle Connecticut’s specific climate challenges. Throughout the project, we keep the work area as clean as possible and communicate about progress, timeline changes, or any issues that come up. When we’re finished, you’ll have masonry work that looks great and performs reliably for decades.

Our masonry services cover the full range of what Washington Depot homeowners need. Chimney work includes repairs, rebuilds, and new installations – all focused on safe, efficient operation that meets current codes. We handle both the structural elements and the aesthetic details that make chimneys look right on Connecticut homes.
For outdoor spaces, we design and build custom patios, fire pits, and outdoor fireplaces that extend your living space and work well with your property’s layout and style. Retaining walls solve drainage and erosion problems while adding functional space to sloped lots. We also handle driveway work, walkways, and stone walls that define property boundaries or create privacy.
Repair work is a big part of what we do. Whether it’s repointing old brick, replacing damaged stones, or fixing structural issues in existing masonry, we match materials and techniques to preserve the character of older homes while ensuring everything meets current safety standards. Every project includes proper cleanup and a walkthrough to make sure you’re completely satisfied with the results.
