Serving Randolph, MA
Paver driveways, patios, walls and steps for Randolph homes, on a hilly ten square miles where the town asks for a permit before any driveway is paved.
Randolph fits about ten and a half square miles of mostly built-out neighborhoods into hilly ground fifteen miles south of Boston. Lots are modest, the grade is rarely flat, and the driveway does a lot of work. Here a good project often means getting more use out of a small yard: a patio cut into a slope, a low wall, or a set of steps that finally makes the back door easy to reach.
We come to Randolph from South Easton to build paver driveways, patios, retaining walls and walkways and steps, and to pave asphalt driveways and lots.
Randolph requires a town permit to re-pave an existing driveway, extend one or build a new one, and the re-paving permit has to be pulled by a bonded contractor before work starts. The town’s driveway guidance also encourages permeable surfaces such as permeable pavers.
Paving permits are applied for online through the town’s Permiteyes portal, the same place building permits are filed.
The Building Department exempts retaining walls that hold back less than four feet of unbalanced fill from a building permit, along with fences six feet or lower. On a sloped Randolph lot, that often makes two shorter terraced walls a simpler route than one tall one.
A taller wall is still possible. It needs a permit, and a wall carrying that much soil should be engineered for it.
Randolph’s zoning caps lot coverage at 25 percent in the residential districts, with setbacks of 25 feet at the front and 15 feet at the sides and rear for single-family homes. On a small lot those numbers decide how large a pavilion or pool house can be.
The town’s stormwater rules add a step for bigger jobs: disturbing 5,000 square feet or more gets an administrative review, and more than half an acre needs a permit.
Randolph describes itself as well watered, and it has its own wetlands bylaw. The Conservation Commission reviews work within 100 feet of wetlands, ponds and intermittent streams, and within 200 feet of streams that run all year.
In that buffer the list of regulated work is long. It covers grading, filling, cutting trees and shrubs, rebuilding a lawn and building any structure.
Town rules change. We last checked these against Randolph’s own pages in October 2026, so confirm with the town before you build.

Yes. The town requires a permit to re-pave, extend or build a driveway, and a bonded contractor has to pull the re-paving permit before work begins. Applications go through the town’s Permiteyes portal.
No. An all-night parking ban runs from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. on every street, all year, and cars left out in a snowstorm can be ticketed and towed. That makes off-street parking valuable here, and it is why widening a driveway is one of the most common requests we hear from towns like Randolph.
They are worth a look. The town recommends permeable driveways to cut down on hard surface, and they let water soak in where it lands. They need a deeper stone base than standard pavers, and they suit some soils and slopes better than others, which is something we check on site.
