In late October, when the maples above the Farmington River let go all at once and the old mill brick down in Collinsville warms to nearly the same color, a bluestone patio in Canton comes into its own — cool underfoot, gold-strewn, holding the last good evenings of the year. Landscape Solutions & Maintenance builds those outdoor rooms: paver and bluestone patios sized for real entertaining, stone walkways, garden paths and entry features, boulder fire pits, gas fire bowls and full outdoor fireplaces, waterfalls, fountains and pondless water features, and retaining and boulder walls that answer the grade problems these valley hillsides hand you. Beneath the finished surface runs the less visible half of the craft — French drains, channel drains, dry wells, regrading — the quiet routing that keeps an April hillside from carrying a backyard downhill. There is a physical satisfaction in a joint line that runs true across forty feet, in a wall that finally makes a slope sit still, in water that sounds right at dusk. The work reaches out from Canton through Collinsville, Avon, Simsbury, Farmington, West Hartford, New Hartford, Granby and Burlington.
