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.

What Clients Say..

James was great to work with. He was proactive and did exactly what he said he would do at the price we agreed to.
James M.

Cruger Contractors arrived when they indicated they would be on the jobsite. They were efficient in completing the work and the results looked great.
Bruce H.

This project was large at least in my dwelling place. Restructure of the brick work I put in over 15 years ago. I had weeds growing uncontrollably and starting to hurt my plants. Cruger took care of it and even saved some of my favorites. Cruger has shown pride in their work and were extremely kind and wanted to do the best they can to achieve it. I am extremely satisfied in the final product. They were very fair in their pricing and were happy to work with my budget. I can’t stop looking at it. It brings a lot of joy and gives me an opportunity to add what I feel like adding without a weed issue ever again. Give them a call and you’ll be happy you did.
Howard B.

James did a phenomenal job. He cleared a large bluestone planter, mulched and planted a beautiful variety of perennials. He planted new azalea bushes in 2 other locations and everything looks amazing. His work was meticulously done. We are very pleased with how everything turned out, and will be calling James Cruger LLC for future work. Highly recommended.
