Hardscape Design & Installation

Upgrade your outdoor living with professionally built patios, walkways, and fire features.

Patios

A patio should be more than just a slab. Choose a rustic flagstone layout, or stained or stamped concrete.

See patio options →

Fire Pits

Built from solid firebrick and finished with flagstone veneer. A cozy focal point for gatherings, in circular, square, or custom shapes.

See fire pit options →

Retaining Walls

Natural stone, concrete blocks, or brick. Prevent erosion, level out uneven ground, or create terraced gardens.

See retaining wall options →

Walkways

Granite and gravel walkways that connect a garden, patio, or outdoor seating area. Practical and low maintenance.

See walkway options →

Concrete Overlays

Resurface worn patios, walkways, and driveways with decorative finishes that mimic natural stone or tile, without the cost of full replacement.

You Shouldn't Have to Worry About Slope Issues

Sloped lots that run toward Cedar Creek Lake are prime candidates for erosion and soil loss. We build retaining walls that hold your yard in place while adding real visual structure to your property.

We also design drainage systems that redirect water away from your foundation, your beds, and the lake bank. One company, one call.

Drain lines behind the walls carry runoff to a gravel dry well. A lit walkway leads down the slope to rock at the shoreline.
