Sandwich
Sandwich is the oldest town on the Cape, and it shows in the lots — mature trees, established grade, and a village where historic review can apply to what is visible from the street. We plan walkways and walls around root zones instead of through them, and we keep material staging tight on narrow village lots.
Cape Cod sits on glacial outwash — sand and gravel that drains well and carries load poorly. On every job here the base does the work: excavate to subgrade, build in lifts, compact each one. Skip that and the surface tells on you within two winters.

Before the first machine
Old King's Highway. The district takes in the whole village side of town, north of Route 6. It reviews exterior work visible from a public way — and stone walls and fences are named in it, not just houses. So a wall or a front walkway there needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, which means a public hearing before anything gets built. That filing is ours to handle; it is the part homeowners are usually surprised by, and it is the part that decides your start date.
Wetlands. If any part of the work falls within 100 feet of a wetland — or 200 feet of a perennial stream — it goes to the Conservation Commission before it goes anywhere else: site plan, public hearing, and an Order of Conditions in hand before a machine moves. Patios, retaining walls and drainage changes are all on that list. Around the marsh behind the boardwalk the line catches more properties than owners expect, so we check it at the estimate rather than after.
Everything above is ours to handle. What we need from you is the go-ahead early enough that the hearing calendar is not the thing holding up your build.
What we build
Recent work from across Cape Cod. We photograph what we build; these are our own jobs, not stock.
