Leo’s Construction & Excavation
Westchester & Orange County, NY
Paver patios, paver pillars, walkways, retaining walls, steps, and drainage for Tuxedo Park homeowners — from a licensed, owner-operated contractor.
Leo’s Construction & Excavation Corp. is based in Buchanan, NY, just across the Bear Mountain Bridge from Orange County. Nestor, the owner, walks every project himself and is on site for the work.
Tuxedo Park homes sit on wooded hillsides, ledge rock, and slopes that send water downhill toward the house. That’s where hardscape fails most often: pavers sink, walls lean, and steps heave after a few winters. We build every job with a deep, compacted base, proper backfill, and drainage that moves water away from your foundation — and we finish it with clean borders, pillars, and planting beds that look like they belong with the house and the woods around it.
Whether you want a new backyard patio, paver pillars and planting beds, a walkway to your deck, or a retaining wall to tame a slope, we’ll give you a straight answer and a fair price.
For this Tuxedo Park home we turned a plain lawn into a full backyard living space. We dug out and built a compacted base, laid a large paver patio with a contrasting border, added paver pillars and a paver walkway to the deck stairs — then finished it with planting beds, shrubs, and decorative stone all around so the new patio blends into the yard.
Short videos from this job — the patio, the pillars, and the plantings.

Paver pillars & plantings
Natural stone and block walls for sloped yards, built with a proper base, drainage stone, and backfill so they don’t lean or bulge.
Stone patios, interlocking pavers, and stamped concrete that stay level through New York freeze-thaw winters.
Paver pillars, front walks, and steps to decks and entries — safe, even, and pitched so water doesn’t pool or ice over.
Fixing wet yards, pooling water, and runoff toward the house — at the source, not just the surface.
Concrete foundations and slabs for additions, sheds, and garages.
Cracked concrete, loose pavers, and stone foundations on older homes that need repointing.
Yes — Tuxedo Park and the rest of the Town of Tuxedo, including Tuxedo and Southfields, plus nearby Harriman, Monroe, Central Valley, Woodbury, and Highland Mills.
Call or text 914-330-3941 and Nestor will set up a time to walk the project. In most cases you get a fair price the same day. Estimates are free.
Yes. Sloped and rocky lots are a big part of our work. We excavate down to a solid base, use drainage stone and proper backfill, and plan where the water goes before we lay a single paver or block.
Some projects do. Homes inside the Village of Tuxedo Park have their own village rules and approvals, and homes outside the village go through the Town of Tuxedo. We’ll tell you what applies to your project during the estimate.
Yes. Leo’s Construction & Excavation Corp. is fully licensed and insured in New York State, and we guarantee our installation work.
Call or text us. Nestor comes out, walks the project, and gives you a fair price — same day in most cases.
