Expert Hardscaping & Stonework services for homeowners in Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, NY. Licensed, insured, and dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces.
Why Choose Cruger Contracting for Hardscaping & Stonework in Rhinebeck
Cruger Contracting LLC specializes in stonework that defines and elevates outdoor spaces across Rhinebeck, Dutchess County. From hand-laid stone patios and retaining walls to elegant walkways and custom masonry features, every project is a reflection of true craftsmanship. Our team works with a variety of natural and engineered materials—including bluestone, fieldstone, flagstone, granite, and decorative block—installed with precision to ensure structural integrity and beauty that lasts for generations.
Before any stone is placed, we prepare a solid foundation with proper excavation, grading, and compaction to prevent shifting, cracking, and settling through NY’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles. We integrate drainage solutions directly into the base and behind retaining walls to protect against water buildup and erosion. Each installation is finished with tight joints, level alignment, and natural contouring that complements the surrounding landscape.
Cruger Contracting LLC creates custom stone features such as garden edging, stone steps, seating walls, and fire pit surrounds that add depth and dimension to your outdoor living space. Whether you’re updating your front entry walkway, building a backyard patio, or installing a structural retaining wall, our team delivers a balance of strength, artistry, and timeless appeal. Most projects in Rhinebeck, Dutchess County are completed within 5–14 days, with free estimates including design options, material samples, and drainage recommendations for NY properties.

Built On a Solid Foundation
Cruger Contracting LLC takes foundation work seriously. Our team installs properly compacted aggregate bases that keep patios and walkways stable for decades—resisting cracks, shifting, and NY freeze-thaw cycles.
Built to Withstand The Seasons
We construct every stone surface on a compacted, stable base with integrated drainage for NY’s freeze-thaw conditions. This ensures your patio, retaining wall, or walkway resists movement, cracking, and erosion—maintaining its strength and appearance year after year.

Expert Masonry & Design
Cruger Contracting LLC designs and installs custom masonry details that give each project unique character. From curved garden walls and stone fire pits to elegant entry steps and accent borders, our skilled masons shape stone into functional art that enhances your Rhinebeck property’s aesthetic and value.

Cruger Construction provided high quality service at a fair cost. James the owner was very knowledgeable, communicated very timely and was a pleasure to do business with. His crew was just as friendly and we are very pleased with the work he provided. Will use again on future landscaping projects.

Beautiful job. Very personable and reliable.
Lauretta C.

We would absolutely hire Cruger Contracting again. James was quick to return our call and came right away. That afternoon he had come back with a very fair quote. Regraded our front lawn with 40 yards of screened soil, also laid a drainage pipe from a basement sump pump approximately 100ft underground. They finished the job with seeding and covered with straw mulch. Fantastic job—thank you, would highly recommend.
Craig P.

I would highly recommend Cruger Contracting for all your hardscape needs. James and his staff are real professionals with many years of experience in the construction industry and landscaping. He is super prompt and responsive to your needs and with minimal explanation he made exactly what I was looking for. If you are looking for someone who is professional, courteous and neat, and does it all at a reasonable price—look no further.
