Patio Design & Construction in Marblehead, MA
Marblehead patios sit on rock and next to salt water. Bedrock at or near the surface is common across town, so we plan excavation around it and use materials that stand up to salt air.
Patios in Marblehead
What to know before you start.
Near the harbor, the causeway and Devereux, storms can push water well inland. A heavier base and careful drainage keep a patio flat through that.
Patios mostly sit at grade, but seat walls and steps visible from a public way in the Old Town and Gingerbread Hill districts go through OHDC review.
Local rules that can affect your patios project.
Wetlands bylaw
The Conservation Commission enforces both the state Wetlands Protection Act and Marblehead's own wetlands bylaw. Filling, digging or altering a wetland needs a permit after a public hearing, and abutters within 300 feet are notified.
