About D Kyle Stearns Contracting Inc

Dig anywhere in Mansfield and the town's history comes up with the bucket: glacial gravel, ledge, and the fieldstone the old farms hauled to the edges of things. D Kyle Stearns Contracting Inc works from Storrs down into that ground — excavation, grading, drainage and septic, the unglamorous layer everything else stands on. Foundation drains that take water away from a cellar, landscape grading that sends a spring thaw where it ought to go, barn cellar excavation cut square into a hillside. Then the visible half of it: retaining walls and pavers, stone work set to hold a slope and look as though it always belonged there. Central and eastern Connecticut is a country of hills and wet bottoms, and much of this work is simply persuading water to go somewhere useful.
