Patios, Retaining Walls and Fire Pits

Create Your Dream Outdoor Living Area

An outdoor living area is perfect for grilling out, entertaining, playing with your children, or just spending some quality time with nature.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are relatively rigid structures used to support soil both laterally and vertically to “retain” different levels and restrain a slope it would not naturally keep to. A retaining wall doesn’t have to be solely utilitarian. You can use them to create a beautiful outdoor living space with a multitude of uses. We can design and install a firm, solid retaining wall that is built to last. It is important to consider longevity, strength, maintenance, ease of install, and cost when building a retaining wall.

Patios & Pavers

Your outdoor living area should be easy to maintain and a joy for entertaining! Our stone pavers are wonderful additions to your lawn, garden, and patio areas to allow ease of access to other parts of your yard, and to beautify your landscape. Pavers allow creative freedom for shape, texture, and color. Natural stone such as flagstone, slate, or concrete pavers can transform your hardscape into a courtyard garden.

Adding a fire element can take your garden or landscape to the next level

A focal point for gatherings, a fire feature can be a simple steel ring or an elaborate art installation.

Do you love smores and singing around a campfire? You can have the camping experience right in your own backyard. Or maybe a formal stone surround with remote controlled gas burner speaks more to your lifestyle. What ever style you choose, a fire feature will certainly heat up your time in the landscape.

FAQs

  • What is the point of a retaining wall?
  • The purpose of all retaining walls is to hold soil behind them and prevent erosion. However, the specific needs will vary depending on the project. Walls can range from small landscape stone walls to surround a garden to enormous soil-retaining projects along a highway.
  • How do I know if I need a retaining wall?
  • You Might Need a Retaining Wall If…
    1. You need a way to control downhill erosion. If mountains of erosion materials are clogging important areas on your property, adding a retaining wall is a wonderful idea.
    2. Your home is downhill from soil fault lines.
    3. Your foundation is threatened by a sliding hill.
  • What is the purpose of a catch basin?
  • A catch basin or storm drain is a curbside drain with the sole function of collecting rainwater from our properties and streets and transporting it to local waterways through a system of underground piping, culverts and/or drainage ditches. Storm drains can also be found in parking lots and serve the same purpose.
  • Where do you put a catch basin?
  • A catch basin is a large drain, usually placed in low areas of a yard, to catch surface runoff water. Its purpose is to drain water in an area where water is flooded or ponding in a yard and carries it to another location where it can drain properly.

Testimonials

Ken K.

We would like you to know how very pleased we are with the process and outcome of our landscaping project. The design is unique and exceeded any expectations we had. Daniel and his crew were always prompt, professional, hardworking and fun to have work on our project. Their meticulous attention to detail is evident in the final product. Thanks very much for making this an enjoyable experience for us.

Mary S.

I have always done my own yard work however my schedule is not as predictable as it once was. Daniel's team came in and worked side-by-side to get the job done timely, neeatly, and cleaned up after themselves. They all worked very hard and the results are fantastic.

Jacob

We had a paver patio installed in our backyard and we love it! Daniel was easy to communicate with and the guys did the whole backyard in just a few days. We got to pick between a number of patio pavers options and they did a really great job! We had them come back to also clean up the front yard as well!
