Good Stone Mason / Patio Installer


We’re looking for someone to install a bluestone patio for us.
It’s a rowhouse backyard, approx 700 square feet. We’d like a japanese drain incorporated into the design, other than than it would be a standard bluestone patio. Anyone have rec’s??

Free Topsoil/Dirt


I have about 80 sandbags of pure (unscreened) Brooklyn backyard topsoil available to anyone who wants it.

It’s not been tested so I would not use it for a vegi garden but otherwise it’s totally useable. The stuff was full of worms when I bagged it.
There’s the odd piece of plastic toy / broken dish / rocks etc..but not too bad.

I’m going to have it carted next week but figured I’d see if anyone wanted it first.

Free Fieldstone


Hi all,
I just finished building a retaining wall in my yard and have some extra stone that I need to get rid of. It’s thin Pennsylvania fieldstone approx 1-3″ thick /6-9″ long. Some of the pieces show small fossils. Good for small retaining walls / flower borders etc. I have about 3/4 of a pallet to give away. The stone is now in sandbags so it can be carried away but you will need a truck to haul it all. About 50 or so sandbags. Located in Park Slope.
If interested send me an email: originalgiantsquid@yahoo.com
