Paver Patios
Custom-designed paver patios using premium materials like Techo-Bloc and RCP. Our installations feature 6-inch compacted gravel bases for durability, 5-year structural warranties, and unique design elements tailored to each property's conditions. We incorporate drainage solutions and creative patterns to create functional, aesthetically pleasing outdoor living spaces that increase property value.
Retaining Walls
Structural retaining wall solutions using RCP, Rosetta, and Versa-Lok products. Our expertise includes complex installations requiring geo-technical specialists, with techniques that prevent soil erosion and ensure long-term stability. We combine traditional methods with modern technology to create both functional and decorative wall systems that solve challenging terrain issues.
Paver Driveways
Durable paver driveway installations with 10-12 inch compacted gravel bases. We offer permeable paver options for stormwater management and use commercial-grade materials that withstand plowing and heavy vehicle traffic. Our driveways combine aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, available in multiple patterns and finishes to complement any property style.
Maintenance-Free Steps
Pre-built composite stair systems designed for easy installation and long-term durability. Our steps feature ground-contact timber cores encased in maintenance-free shells, with customizable options including LED lighting and steel railings. The modular design allows for portability while maintaining structural integrity for permanent outdoor applications.
Fire Pits
Custom fire pit installations integrated into patios or standalone features. We construct both in-ground and raised fire pits with steel-lined perimeters for safety, offering grill attachments and various height options. Our designs prioritize functionality while creating focal points that extend outdoor living seasons through year-round usability.
