Retaining walls can insulate you from nosy neighbors and bothersome noises. (Who wouldn’t want their own personal hideaway?) In addition, if you have steep terrain, retaining walls are great for preventing soil erosion.
We offer hardscaping features such as patios, retaining walls, and more!
Dine al fresco with your loved ones on your new flagstone patio, take that first step on your beautiful walkway, and admire the majesty provided by custom retaining walls. We provide the following services:
- Patios
- Retaining Walls
- Walkways
- Driveways
Why bother with hardscaping features?
Retaining walls can provide support for privacy and soil.
Patios and walkways are low maintenance.
Compared to “softscapes” like your lawn and gardens, hardscapes like patios and walkways are crafted from tough-as-nails materials like wood, concrete, stone, and pavers. The best part? They don’t demand the TLC that softscapes do: no lawn-mowing, hedge-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 flaunt designs that harmonize with your property’s vibe. (Talk about curb appeal, right?)
See some of the types of hardscaping services we provide.
Patios
Admittedly, we feel responsible for a lot of noise complaints in our service area… (No, we don’t work at night, promise).
It’s just that every time we build a new patio, clients immediately invite everyone over to hang out on it… especially late at night!
We provide stellar results, but we can only do so much for our communities. Preventing noise complaints just isn’t in our wheelhouse.
One thing we can promise is this: you’ll love your patio for years to come. You may even grow attached to it.
(Besides, it’s better to be the one complained about than the one complaining. 😉 )
Retaining Walls
Watching your yard erode on a slope can be defeating. It’s like the visual version of that annoying neighbor that just won’t let you live in peace. We can fix it! (But again, we don’t do noise complaints, sorry)!
Retaining walls can level things out, prevent erosion, and give your “green thumb” some room to play. (Not to mention, those raised garden beds and terraced gardens? *Chef’s kiss*)
Walkways
Who doesn’t admire the sound of their own footsteps on a beautiful stone pathway? We’re not just talking about plain sidewalks, here (but if that’s your thing, we’re happy to oblige).
When creating walkways, we are both accessibility-conscious and considerate of the surrounding space. (Otherwise, what are we even doing in this industry)?
If accessibility is a concern, we can go for a more uniform look with a handrail and maybe some brick or regular flagstone. And if you’ve got little ones around, we can use irregular flagstone so they can have some fun leaping from stone to stone.
And if you’re going for a more modern look for your whole property, you might choose a walkway with sleek, polished concrete or large slabs of natural stone with clean lines and simple shapes. It’s all about finding the style and function that works best for you!
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

Testimonials
Here's just a sample of some of the clients we've built patios, retaining walls, walkways, and driveways for throughout our service area.
They did such a good job that I expanded the scope and had them enlarge my back porch and cover it with flagstone. It looks amazing…
