New Paltz's Own
Outdoor Living Experts

New Paltz is where we live, where we work, and where our passion for outdoor living began. Nestled at the foot of the Shawangunk Ridge — home to the iconic Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park — this village combines a deep respect for natural beauty with a vibrant, creative community spirit. Our shop on Hurds Road puts us at the heart of this extraordinary landscape, and the properties we build here reflect our most personal commitment to excellence.

The architectural character of New Paltz spans centuries, from the original Huguenot stone houses on Huguenot Street — the oldest street in America with its original stone buildings — to the charming Victorians of the village center, the mid-century homes along Plains Road, and the contemporary builds in the surrounding Town of New Paltz. Each style presents distinct opportunities for landscape design that honors the existing architecture while creating outdoor spaces that feel both timeless and alive.

The natural setting of New Paltz is unmatched in the Hudson Valley. The dramatic Shawangunk cliffs provide a backdrop that no other community can claim, while the Wallkill River corridor and surrounding farmland create a pastoral context that shapes how we approach every project. Local stone — the same Shawangunk conglomerate that forms the ridge — is a signature material in our New Paltz projects, connecting built landscapes to the geological character of the place.

As the hometown team, we bring an intimacy to New Paltz projects that no outside contractor can match. We know the soil, the microclimates, the drainage patterns, and the specific challenges of building in the shadow of the Gunks. We know the neighbors, the local suppliers, and the community standards. When you hire us for a New Paltz project, you are hiring people who will drive past your property every day and take personal pride in the work for years to come.
