🧱 What We Build
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls aren’t just about holding soil — they shape your space. They control erosion, manage steep grades, and add strong lines that boost curb appeal.
We install:
- Natural stone walls for premium residential builds
- Engineered concrete block walls for function and style
- Terraced garden walls for layered, low-maintenance beauty
Need to stop water from pooling in your yard? This is where it starts.
Patios & Walkways
A patio is more than a slab. It’s where life happens. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or hosting a summer BBQ, your patio should be functional, beautiful, and built to last.
We design and install:
- Custom paver patios
- Flagstone walkways
- Front-entry steps
- Decorative rock transitions
We build every path with purpose and proper grading. See examples of our completed patio builds in our project gallery.
Fire Features & Stone Accents
Looking for a fire pit that looks good? Want stone accents that do more than sit pretty?
We install:
- Fire pits and seating areas
- Boulder groupings and stone borders
- Outdoor lighting and accent walls
Because hardscaping should be as enjoyable at night as it is during the day.
Drainage & Grading
Water is sneaky. If your yard slopes the wrong way or holds moisture, it can cost you in damage, in frustration, and in future repairs.
We fix that with:
- Site regrading
- French drains and swales
- Base stabilization for hardscaping longevity
We don’t just build hardscapes. We build smart systems that last.

Start Your ProjectFrequently Asked Questions About Hardscaping
What is hardscaping?
Hardscaping is the structural backbone of your landscape design. Hardscaping includes patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and other non-plant elements that create the foundation and framework of your outdoor space.
How is hardscaping different from landscaping?
Hardscaping differs from landscaping in that landscaping focuses on plants and softscape elements, while hardscaping is the structural, stone, and permanent features. Hardscaping provides the bones of your yard design that landscaping then fills in with greenery.
What materials do you use for hardscaping?
We use concrete, natural stone, pavers, brick, and gravel for hardscaping projects. These hardscaping materials are chosen based on function, style preferences, and specific site conditions to ensure durability and visual appeal.
Does hardscaping require maintenance?
Hardscaping requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional landscaping. Hardscaping maintenance typically includes periodic sealing, cleaning, or leveling to keep everything looking sharp and functioning properly over time.
Can hardscaping help with drainage issues?
Yes, hardscaping can significantly help with drainage problems. Proper hardscaping techniques like grading, retaining walls, and permeable surfaces can solve most yard drainage issues by directing water flow and preventing erosion.
