About Peter Alessandra and Son Paving and Masonry, LLC

Mountain Lakes was laid out in the early 1900s as a planned community among glacial boulders and lakes, its Hapgood houses built of stucco and local stone, and stone is still everywhere you look. Peter Alessandra and Son Paving and Masonry is a paving and masonry business listed for lawn care in Mountain Lakes, where walls, steps and driveways share the yard with the grass. In autumn the borough's lakes mirror red oaks and maples, and leaves heap up against boulders and garden walls. Lawn care here means mowing, trimming and clearing those leaves so both the lawn and the stonework can show. A trim lawn running up to a solid stone wall is a small study in how this town was designed: green and gray, soft and permanent, each making the other look better.
