Expert Hardscape Excavation in Westerly, RI

Hardscape excavation is the first step in any patio, walkway, or retaining wall project. At Meadow Hill Construction LLC, we handle all ground preparation work for Westerly homeowners before any hardscape surface goes down. That means clearing the area, cutting to the right depth, and grading the base so water moves away from your home and foundation. Westerly sits in a coastal zone where sandy, fast-draining soils are common. That soil type can shift under a poorly prepared base, leading to uneven surfaces and early wear. We account for those local conditions on every job. Proper grading also matters here because of the region's high water table in many coastal areas. We remove spoil, address low spots, and leave a firm, level sub-base ready for the next phase of your project. If your yard has slopes, tight access, or existing hardscape to remove, we work through those challenges before any surface material is placed. Call Meadow Hill Construction LLC to schedule your site assessment in Westerly.

I hired MHC as a subcontractor to install a 30' x 15' gunite pool at my personal residence. Mike and his crew were professional, timely, responsive, and did a fantastic job from start to finish. The quality of the work was excellent, and it was clear throughout the project that Mike takes pride in his work and pays close attention to the details. He treated the project with the same level of care you would expect if he were working on his own home. As a general contractor, I’ve worked with a lot of subcontractors over the years, and I can confidently say MHC is one of the best I’ve worked with. I would highly recommend Mike and his team.

I just had a inground gunite pool and paver patio installed by Meadow Hill Construction, Michael and his crew did a fantastic job. Their attention to detail is exceptional and they are very professional in all aspects of the work they performed. The project was started on time, moved along quickly, and was completed before the anticipated completion date. I would highly recommend Meadow Hill Construction for any inground pool/patio work.

Mike & Team did an absolutely fantastic job! We are so happy with the results. They were professional, courteous and timely. We started with a broken, outdated inground pool and aborvataes that were out of control. After demo, removal and clean-up, we ended up with a beautiful, spacious backyard. Thank you so much Meadow Hill Construction! Highly recommended!

We had an incredible experience working with Mike and the team at Meadow Hill Construction on our new in-ground pool project. From the initial design discussions through the final touches, Mike was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about delivering a high-quality result. Construction projects of this size always come with challenges, but Mike communicated every step of the way, kept us informed, and made sure everything was done right. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction really stood out. The finished product exceeded our expectations and completely transformed our backyard into a space our family and friends will enjoy for years to come. If you’re considering a pool or any outdoor project, I highly recommend Meadow Hill Construction. Mike and his team take pride in their work, stand behind what they do, and deliver exceptional results. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Outstanding work. He and his crew arrived when they said they would. Wish we found him sooner. I won’t have anyone but Meadow Hill work on my pool.
