Where We Build: 13 Towns, 13 Different Ground Conditions
Syracuse and the surrounding Onondaga County area
Where we work
Cicero, NY
Get the base depth and the drainage path written into your quote as numbers, and you have already settled the thing that decides whether Cicero paving is still flat in ten years. The Town of Cicero has the wettest mapped soils in this metro: 59.5 percent of it is classed poorly, somewhat poorly or very poorly drained, including 12.0 percent Carlisle muck.
Coverage in Cicero →Clay, NY
If your Clay project has a fire feature in it, the permit application is part of the job and it is better known before you pick a start date than after. The Town of Clay names fireplaces, stoves and inserts on the work that requires a building permit, and names no patio at grade anywhere on the list.
Coverage in Clay →Manlius, NY
Ask for the soil on your own lot to be identified before anybody prices a base in Manlius, because no single soil covers even a tenth of this town. The mapped mix runs from silty clay loam to shallow soils over bedrock, with 31.8 percent of the town classed poorly drained against 29.8 percent well drained.
Coverage in Manlius →DeWitt, NY
Before anyone prices a fireplace, a pillar or a flight of stone steps in DeWitt, find out what is actually under the grass. About a quarter of the town is mapped as urban land, quarries and cut and fill rather than natural soil, and made ground is the case where bearing gets checked instead of assumed.
Coverage in DeWitt →Syracuse, NY
Inside the city line the drainage package is usually not what your patio needs, and that is worth knowing before you compare three prices for it. Just 1.5 percent of Syracuse is mapped as poorly drained soil, the lowest share of any municipality in this metro, while 22.0 percent of it is urban land where the ground under the grass is often old fill.
Coverage in Syracuse →Salina, NY
Ask what compaction the subgrade is getting and how anyone is checking it, because in Salina the ground under a patio is frequently fill rather than soil. About a fifth of the town is mapped as cut and fill land or urban land with no natural drainage class at all, and another 12.0 percent of the mapped area is water.
Coverage in Salina →North Syracuse, NY
In North Syracuse the question that decides a patio is where water goes once your paving replaces lawn. The village sits in the Bear Trap and Ley Creek Drainage District, which the county hazard plan calls flat and heavily urbanized, with its lowest ground reaching or exceeding the five year storm about three times a year.
Coverage in North Syracuse →East Syracuse, NY
Every masonry job in East Syracuse is work on a house and a yard that already exist, and that shows up in the price as access rather than as stone. The village authorized no new single-family housing units in 2022, 2023 or 2024, and reports 0.0 percent of its housing built in 2000 or later.
Coverage in East Syracuse →Liverpool, NY
In Liverpool village a stone veneer proposal is one of two completely different jobs, and the year your house was built decides which. The village's median construction year is 1938 or earlier, 6.1 percent of its units were built in 2020 or later, and none at all were built in the 2000s or the 2010s.
Coverage in Liverpool →Camillus, NY
In Camillus, ask about the paperwork at quote stage rather than at permit stage, because the town will not process an application without it. The residential building permit checklist requires proof of New York State Workers Compensation coverage for the contractor doing the work, plus a driveway permit from whichever authority owns your road.
Coverage in Camillus →Marcellus, NY
A base quoted at the industry minimum is more likely to be honest in Marcellus than almost anywhere else nearby, which is worth knowing before you accept a deeper one. Some 61.9 percent of the town is mapped well drained and only 10.6 percent poorly drained, with Honeoye silt loam, hydrologic group B, under nearly two fifths of it.
Coverage in Marcellus →Skaneateles, NY
Build ten business days of review into your Skaneateles schedule before you agree a start date with anyone. A project in an environmentally sensitive area that disturbs 5,000 square feet or more needs an Erosion and Stormwater Control Plan filed with the City of Syracuse Water Department, and the published guidance says that covers most of the Skaneateles Lake watershed.
Coverage in Skaneateles →Baldwinsville, NY
Tell whoever quotes your job which side of the Seneca River you live on, because in Baldwinsville that changes the base specification. The Lysander half of the village sits on soils 29.8 percent of which are classed poorly drained, the Van Buren half on 18.9 percent, with 55.8 percent of Van Buren mapped well drained.
