What does a backyard project cost in Mantua?
Mantua jobs get one built-in advantage: the stone is already here. Sandstone comes out of the quarry in town, which trims the hauling on boulder and outcropping work, and our yard on Bartlett Road means the machines start the day minutes from your drive. Budgets out here scale with acreage and stone, and the design comes first either way. Call (330) 931-2633 and describe the yard, and the range you get will be based on it.
Our work around Mantua
Our headquarters is in Mantua, and it is also where our stone comes from. There is a quarry here mining sandstone straight out of the hillside, and I hand select boulders there for jobs a few miles down the road. Country lots around Mantua give us room to build bigger, and that is exactly the work I want more of.
Common projects for us here: boulder outcroppings and natural stone work, large country-lot builds, drainage and grading. And on every one of them the lawn repair is warrantied for six months, because our machines made the mess and it is ours to fix.
Getting to Mantua from our yard
Mantua is home base, so these are the first driveways the trucks reach in the morning. SR-44 and SR-82 cross in the village, and the Headwaters Trail runs right through town. Mantua village and Mantua Township both count as home turf, and Shalersville is a short run east. Our yard sits on Bartlett Road in Mantua, and we keep every job inside a tight circle of it, which is how Marcus stays on each site personally instead of managing crews by phone.
Natural stone work, quarried in Mantua
This is the town the stone comes from. There is a quarry in Mantua mining sandstone straight out of the hillside, and Marcus picks boulders there by hand, then builds them into outcropping walls, boulder steps and stone landings a few miles from where they came out of the ground. If you want a yard that looks like the stone grew there, the stone travels a few miles from the hillside to the finished yard.
Drainage, grading and seeding for Mantua acreage
Larger Mantua properties bring us long grades, spring-fed wet spots, and drives that wash out. We cut grades, bury drain lines, build dry creek beds that carry storm water and look like landscaping, and grade and seed the disturbed ground behind the work. It is machine work, and running the machines is the part of the job Marcus admits to enjoying most.

Mantua lots are bigger, so the design question is usually what to leave alone. Marcus draws the built space against the open space, picks where the stone comes in from the quarry up the road, and keeps the rest of the property doing what it already does well.
Mantua homeowner questions
How long does a backyard project in Mantua take?
A typical patio in Mantua runs about two weeks start to finish, and a small one can be three days. Bigger builds with walls, structures or plantings run longer, and we give you the schedule before we start.
Can you fix standing water in a Mantua backyard?
Usually, yes. Mantua sits on the same clay as the rest of the county, so we see it constantly: regrading, buried drains, or a dry creek bed that carries the storm water. The drainage page covers how we approach it.
Where does the stone for Mantua projects come from?
Mostly from the quarry right here in town, where sandstone is mined out of the hillside. Marcus hand-picks boulders for specific jobs, so the stone in your yard was chosen for it, not shipped sight unseen.
Do you build fire pits in Mantua?
Yes, wood and gas both, usually built into a patio with a seat wall wrapping them. On Mantua acreage there is room to do it properly, with the fire placed for the view and the wind.
What other towns around Mantua do you cover?
Right around Mantua we also work in Hiram, Garrettsville, Aurora, and the full list is on the service area page.
Do you serve the rest of Portage County?
Most of it. Beyond Mantua, our Portage County work includes Streetsboro, Aurora, Kent, Garrettsville, and we will let you know on the phone if an address falls outside the run.
Where do you run Mantua jobs from?
From our yard on Bartlett Road in Mantua. SR-44 and SR-82 cross in the village, and the Headwaters Trail runs right through town, so the trucks are on your side of the county from the first hour, and we keep every job inside a ten to fifteen mile circle of the yard.
