Hardscaping, patios & retaining walls in South Jersey

Natural stone and paver patios, walls, steps and fire features. Designed in 3D first, then built on a proper base so they stay level for years.

Hardscaping

Hardscaping, Patios & Retaining Walls done right the first time

Hardscaping is the part of your yard you'll live on: the patio you eat dinner on, the walkway guests use, the wall that turns a slope into usable space. It has to look good and it has to stay put.

Most patio and wall problems come from what's underneath. We excavate to the right depth, build and compact a proper base, plan for drainage, and set every paver and block to grade. That's what keeps a patio from heaving and a wall from leaning after a few New Jersey freeze-thaw winters.

FAQ

Hardscaping questions

Still have a question? Call or text (609) 416-1371 and you'll talk to Luis directly.

How long does a paver patio take to install?

Most residential patios take a few days to about a week once work starts, depending on size, access and any walls or steps that are part of the project. We'll give you a timeline with your quote.

Why do some patios sink or shift?

Usually it's a thin or poorly compacted base, or water that has nowhere to go. We build at least 4 inches of compacted 3/4 stone or DGA under patios (7 inches under driveways), level on 3/8 chip stone that drains, and pitch the surface away from your house.

Do I need a retaining wall?

If you have a slope that washes out, a yard that isn't usable, or soil pushing against a walkway or driveway, a retaining wall can fix it and add flat, usable space. We'll tell you honestly if a simpler fix will do.
