What are Hardscapes &
Hardscape Design
For us, hardscape design and hardscaping are the expert integration of a variety of materials such as stone, pavers, and wall blocks into something aesthetically pleasing. Patios, paver driveways, walkways, and walls are designed and installed not only for function but fashion as well.

Once designed, we install for the long term. We have ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute) certified paver installers, and NCMA (National Concrete Masonry Association) certified Segmental Retaining wall installers. Their standards insure we do it right the first time. The real work is in what you don’t see – the proper excavation, sub base, base, and drainage.
Because of our quality and attention to detail, we are Authorized Installer Contractors for several Paver and Wall manufacturing companies, including Techo-Bloc, Unilock, and Belgard.
