About A.E. Scapes llc
West of the village, where Four Mile River cuts down through ledge and old field-stone walls run off into the woods, the ground under Old Lyme is more rock than soil. A.E. Scapes llc works with that fact rather than against it — excavation from a small back-yard dig to full site development, and stone masonry and brick work laid the way the walls out there were laid, one true course at a time. November is honest about a job: low sun rakes across a patio and shows every high corner, and a walkway set right throws no shadow at all. They pour and repair concrete, chase foundation cracks down to where the water is actually getting in, and build patios and walkways that will still sit flat after a few winters of frost heave. In a town this old, it is a fine thing to add stone that looks like it was always meant to be there.
