Natural stone, pavers, walkways, and custom outdoor living spaces.
A good patio is where half your summer happens. Morning coffee, dinner outside, a fire pit going in October, kids running around in July. We build patios and hardscape the way we'd want them in our own backyards — which means over-building the parts nobody sees so the parts you DO see still look right in ten years.
Every hardscape starts with a walk-through. Where's the sun, where's the shade, where are you actually going to sit, what's the view, what's the flow from the back door? We mark it out on the ground so you can see it before we start digging.
Excavate to proper depth, slope for drainage (always — every patio needs to shed water away from the house), lay crushed gravel in compacted lifts, then a layer of bedding sand screeded smooth. A patio is only as good as the base under it.
Stone or pavers go in tight, cuts made clean at the edges, proper edge restraint locked in, and the joints filled with polymeric sand or whatever the stone calls for. Clean up, walk-through, and we're out.
Most failed patios look great the day they're finished. The problems show up year three — sinking, shifting, weeds coming up through the joints, the whole thing pitching toward the house instead of away from it. All of that comes from two things: the base, and the drainage. A properly built patio barely moves for a decade. A rushed one starts falling apart the first winter.
