About Champlain Valley Site Work & Building

Champlain Valley Site Work & Building works the rolling clay-plain ground around Monkton, Vermont, where the pastures tilt west toward the lake and the Adirondacks stand blue on the far shore. The work is hard and soft landscaping both — retaining walls set into the ridge, walkways and patios and decks, ponds and waterfalls, drainage routed patiently away from a foundation, topsoil and bark mulch spread dark around a freshly drawn garden bed. There is a particular satisfaction in a wall that keeps its line through mud season, in a walkway that still reads crisp after frost has heaved everything around it. Come winter, the same trucks push snow, opening a driveway before first light finds the Green Mountains. From Addison County north through Chittenden, Franklin, and Lamoille — out to Stowe and Sugarbush — the finished work leaves a place looking like someone cared exactly where every stone landed.
