Hardscaping

It starts with the base

Stone that heaves or sinks almost always has a base problem. We excavate to the right depth, compact the base in layers and set proper slopes so water drains away from your home.

Then we lay the stone pattern you choose and lock it in place.

FAQ

Common questions

Will my patio sink over time?

Not when the base is excavated, compacted and graded properly, which is how we build every job.

Can you match existing stone?

We can usually find a close match for common interlock styles.
