Hardscape

We can transform an unusable tract of land into a functional area by installing a retaining wall.  A slope can suddenly become a beautiful, usable area. Proper drainage behind the wall occurs through crushed stone or aggregate backfill and sometimes a drainage pipe is installed, depending on your needs. Our patios merge the indoor with the outdoor providing a place to relax and entertain.  We offer various choices in materials, colors and designs to modify your existing area with a new and updated look. Steps do more than offer access.  They also add beauty to any area by combining form and function into an esthetic and pleasing landscape design.
