Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and decorative borders.

Hardscape & Stonework

Stonework is the part of a yard that doesn't change with the seasons. A patio, a walkway, a retaining wall or a decorative border sets the shape of the space and then holds it — which is why it's worth getting right the first time. We start by walking the property with you and building a plan that fits your space, your taste, and your budget, then our crews handle the install with care. Retaining walls get built to hold. Walkways get laid to sit flat and drain properly. Borders get set so beds keep their line years later. It's the work our customers mention most often, and it pairs naturally with planting and turf if you're rethinking the whole property. Free, no-pressure estimate within 24 hours.

Our Process

How we approach hardscape & stonework

01

Assess

Property walk: grass type, soil condition, weed pressure, and the cause of any damage already showing.

02

Plan

A seasonal schedule matched to the grass type, the soil, and the growing season.

03

Treat

Applications and maintenance carried out on schedule, at rates set for the conditions.

04

Follow Up

Results read at the next visit, and the schedule adjusted to what the turf is doing.

Signs

  • Pavers settling, rocking or lifting
  • Walls leaning, bulging or shedding stone
  • Walks washing out or holding water
  • A grade change with no retaining structure

The Work

Excavation goes to the depth the use calls for, and base material is placed and compacted in lifts rather than in one pass. Patios and walks are set to a drainage slope so water leaves the surface, with edge restraint to keep the field tight. Retaining walls are built on a compacted base with drainage stone and pipe behind the face, so water has somewhere to go instead of pushing on the wall.

What holds stonework flat is under it, not on it.
