About Our Hardscaping Services
Hardscaping refers to all the non-plant elements of landscaping—the structural features like patios, paths, walls, decks, firepits, kitchens, and stonework that define how a space functions and feels.
Our services include:
- Paver installation services for walkways and patios
- Outdoor stone features including steps and borders
- Decorative retaining walls for slope correction and style
- Custom patio construction matched to your home’s layout
- Stone walkway design for easy movement and visual flow
- Fire pit installation for warmth and entertaining
- Outdoor kitchen builders for full cooking zones
- Hardscape design planning with CAD layouts or sketches
- Masonry and stonework for timeless durability
- Pool deck installation and patio integration
We work with concrete pavers, flagstone, brick, natural stone, and other materials to build long-lasting features that feel intentional and refined.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you use for patios and walkways?
We offer flagstone, concrete pavers, brick, stamped concrete, and natural stone, each selected based on design goals, maintenance level, and site conditions.
How long does a hardscape project take?
Most patios or walkways take 1–2 weeks, while full installations with retaining walls, kitchens, or firepits may take 3–4 weeks. We provide accurate timelines during your consultation.
Can you design a custom layout for my backyard?
Yes. We offer full hardscape design planning, including patio shapes, wall placement, lighting integration, and zone functionality.
Do I need permits for outdoor kitchens or walls?
For structural features like outdoor kitchens or tall retaining walls, permits may be required. We handle all paperwork and ensure code compliance.
What drainage solutions are included in hardscape builds?
We integrate slope correction, French drains, swales, and catch basins as needed. Proper grading is part of every installation.
Can you match my hardscaping to my home’s style?
Absolutely. We use complementary colors, materials, and layout shapes that enhance and extend your property’s architectural look.
How do I care for hardscape elements after installation?
We’ll share easy maintenance tips: sealing schedules, plant-friendly joint fillers, and cleaning techniques that preserve beauty and performance.
What’s the difference between hardscape and landscape services?
Hardscape refers to all structural elements (stone, patios, kitchens, walls). Landscape includes planting, sod, lighting, grading, and soft design features. We offer both—and integrate them seamlessly.
