Hardscape & Pavers
Patios, walkways, driveways, and outdoor living areas — built on a base that holds up to the freeze-thaw cycles here.
Schedule a Site VisitBuilt to last.
On the Eastside, hardscape that isn't built on a proper base will heave, settle, and crack. We excavate deep, build a compacted aggregate base, and ensure proper drainage away from your foundation before a single paver is laid.
Whether you need a simple concrete paver patio or a complex natural stone outdoor living area, our crews have the experience to execute it flawlessly. We don't cut corners on the base prep because that's where the longevity of the project is determined.
Typical Project Ranges
Concrete pavers on a flat or gently sloped lot with good access and no existing hardscape to remove. Base work, installation, and standard edge restraint.
Natural stone, porcelain, or brick on a moderately sloped lot. May include demo of existing concrete, drainage integration, or a more complex layout pattern.
Custom hardscape on a sloped or challenging lot — steep grade, poor access, significant demo, or engineered base work. Large-format or premium stone.
What drives the price
- Material choiceConcrete pavers are the baseline. Natural stone, porcelain, and large-format materials all cost more to supply and install precisely.
- Base preparation depthThe base — not the surface — is what makes hardscape last. Poor soil or high loads (driveways) require deeper excavation and more base material. This is not optional if you want the project to hold up.
- Slope and gradeA flat patio is faster to build than one on a sloped lot that requires additional grading, step construction, or retaining work to create a level surface.
- Demo of existing hardscapeRemoving an existing concrete slab or asphalt driveway before building the new surface adds labor and haul-off cost. Condition and thickness matter.
- Site accessA patio in a walled backyard with a narrow gate means material moves by hand — which significantly increases labor time and cost.
- Drainage integrationHardscape that doesn't account for drainage sends water toward foundations. Proper drainage integration adds upfront cost and avoids much larger problems later.
