Patios & Hardscape

The ground everything else stands on.

Patios, walkways, steps, retaining walls, columns, driveways.

Patios and hardscape

Most hardscape fails below the surface.

A patio is a base with a stone finish on it. Nobody sees the base, which is exactly why it is the part that gets skipped: too shallow, not compacted, no fall built into it, and two winters later the joints open and the low corner holds water. We build the base for the ground it is actually sitting on, and the stone goes on last.

Flagstone patios, brick and concrete paver walkways and driveways, stone steps with cut treads and risers, retaining walls, seat walls, column bases and mailbox surrounds. Everything laid to drain away from the house.

What you get

Stand inside our work first.

Most stone contractors here work out of a truck. We built a showroom at 2010 Chapin Rd with a covered slab gallery and an outdoor pavilion, and there is finished hardscape on the ground all around it. You can walk it, in the weather, before you choose.

One crew, stone to finish. Excavation, base, stone and cleanup by the same people. One contract, one point of contact, no subs pointing at each other when something needs to be made right.

The Locked Price Guarantee. “The number we quote is the number you pay. No allowances. No surprise change orders. One crew, one contract, one price.”

Start here

The Backyard Blueprint Walkthrough.

A private design session at the Chapin showroom. Tour the showroom, the pavilion and the covered slab gallery, hand-pick your stone, and spend the hour with a master craftsman rather than a salesperson. You leave with a hand-drawn concept of your own yard and a fixed all-in price.
