Hardscaping: Patios, Walkways & Walls

Enhance your outdoor living space with custom hardscaping. From patios and walkways to retaining walls and outdoor kitchens, we create beautiful, functional features that complement your landscape.

What to Expect

Hardscaping is the art of building the foundational elements of your outdoor space. It's the patios where you entertain, the walkways that guide your guests, and the retaining walls that add dimension and structure. Our team specializes in designing and installing custom hardscape features that are not only beautiful but are also built to last, using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

Our Step-by-Step Process
1
Define the Purpose

Before you lay a single stone, ask yourself: what is this patio for? A cozy spot for morning coffee? A large area for summer barbecues? The function will determine the size, shape, and location.

2
Choose Your Material

The material sets the tone. Concrete pavers are versatile and durable, coming in many shapes and colors. Natural stone like bluestone or flagstone offers a more organic, high-end look. Consider your home's aesthetic and your budget.

Pro Tips for Success

A Proper Base is Non-Negotiable

The most beautiful patio will fail if the base isn't prepared correctly. A deep, compacted base of gravel and sand is essential to prevent sinking and shifting. This is where professional expertise makes a huge difference.

Incorporate Lighting

Don't let the sunset end your time outdoors. Integrating low-voltage lighting into your hardscape design (under steps, along walls) adds ambiance, safety, and extends the usability of your space.
