From the first paver to the last capstone, built to hold
Well-built stonework does more than look good. It gives your yard structure, shapes how you use your outdoor space, and adds lasting value to your home. At Coastal Construction Management, we design and build patios, stone walkways, retaining walls, and custom masonry across Newport and the surrounding Rhode Island communities. Every project starts with a proper foundation, because freeze-thaw cycles, salt air, and heavy coastal rain will expose shortcuts quickly.
Patio Installation
A new patio can turn an unused corner of your yard into the place everyone gathers. We install natural stone, bluestone, brick, and concrete paver patios, each set on a properly excavated and compacted base with the grading and drainage needed to prevent shifting, heaving, and standing water. We’ll help you choose a material, pattern, and layout that suit your home’s architecture and how you want to use the space, whether that’s a quiet seating area or a full outdoor dining and entertaining space.
Stone Walkways & Paths
A walkway is often the first thing guests notice about your home. We build stone walkways, garden paths, and front entries that connect your driveway, doors, patio, and yard in a way that feels intentional and inviting. Options include natural flagstone, cut bluestone, cobblestone, and pavers, all laid with attention to even footing, clean edges, and long-term stability.

Retaining Walls
On sloped or uneven properties, a retaining wall solves real problems. It holds back soil, controls erosion, manages water runoff, and creates level, usable ground where there wasn’t any before. We build retaining walls in natural stone, segmental block, and fieldstone, engineered with proper footings, drainage, and backfill so they stand up to Rhode Island’s wet seasons and hard winters. A well-built wall can also double as a design feature, framing garden beds, terraces, or built-in seating.
