Retaining walls provide privacy from neighbors while reducing ambient noise. (A personal sanctuary, if you will.) Additionally, they serve a vital function on steep terrain by preventing soil erosion.

Why bother with hardscaping features?
Retaining walls can provide support for privacy and soil.
Patios and walkways are low maintenance.
Compared to “softscapes” such as lawns and gardens, hardscapes like patios and walkways are constructed from durable materials including wood, concrete, stone, and pavers. One significant advantage is their minimal maintenance requirements—unlike softscapes, they eliminate the need for mowing, trimming, watering, or fertilizing.
Hardscaping features are visually pleasing.
Hardscaping features like walkways, patios, and retaining walls not only add a striking contrast to your gardens and lawns, but they also showcase designs that harmonize with your property’s aesthetic, significantly enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

Retaining Walls
Erosion on sloped properties can be frustrating and potentially damaging to your landscape investment. Our expertly designed retaining walls offer both practical and aesthetic solutions.
Beyond preventing soil erosion, our retaining wall systems create opportunities for elegant terraced gardens and raised planting beds, transforming challenging terrain into sophisticated outdoor living spaces.
Walkways
A thoughtfully designed stone pathway transforms your property while enhancing its functionality. From classic flagstone to contemporary architectural pavers, we create walkways that complement your home’s aesthetic and meet your specific needs.
Our designs prioritize accessibility and spatial harmony, ensuring your walkway serves both form and function. For properties requiring ADA compliance, we offer elegant solutions incorporating handrails and uniform surfaces. For family homes, we can create playful patterns that delight children while maintaining sophistication.
Modern designs might feature polished concrete or large-format natural stone, creating clean lines that enhance your property’s contemporary appeal. Whatever your vision, we’ll craft a walkway that elevates your outdoor space while serving your lifestyle needs.
Driveways
Whether you want a clear space for parking, adding another space for basketball, or other outdoor activities, we can design a driveway for you. We can design from a variety of styles and materials to suit your aesthetic.
- Pavers
- Flagstone
- Turfstone
- Brick
- Gravel
- Treads
