Highlight your landscape’s best features

Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural elements of landscaping — features like patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, stone walls, steps, and paved surfaces. It complements “softscaping” (plants, lawns, shrubs) by adding structure, function, and aesthetics to outdoor spaces.

We design and install a variety of hardscape elements, including:

• Stone, paver, and concrete patios and terraces
• Walkways and pathways (with steps where needed)
• Retaining walls to manage slopes, erosion, and elevation changes
• Fire pits / fireplace installations — both gas and wood burning styles
• Hardscape edges, borders, and inlays
• Decorative stone accents, seat walls, and integrated seating areas

Costs depend on materials (natural stone, pavers, concrete, etc.), size, site complexity (grading, drainage, slope), and design intricacy (curves, patterns, inlays). After a site visit, we’ll provide you a detailed, itemized estimate so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Projects vary in timeline. A standard patio or walkway might take several days to a week, depending on prep work, drainage, and complexity. Larger jobs involving retaining walls or fire pits may take one to a few weeks. We’ll provide a projected schedule during planning.

Yes. Proper site preparation is critical. We perform excavation, base compaction, subgrade preparation, drainage planning, and grading to ensure stability and longevity of the hardscape elements.

Yes. We offer custom selections of stone, paver, color, texture, and style so your hardscape integrates seamlessly with your home, landscaping, and outdoor aesthetic. We aim for cohesion — not contrast — unless you prefer a standout feature.

Absolutely. We can design fully functional outdoor living areas that include built-in seating, steps, integrated lighting, fire pits, fireplaces, and decorative accents to make your space both beautiful and usable after dark.

Retaining walls stabilize slopes, prevent soil erosion, create level terraces on uneven ground, and allow different levels for planting or seating. In Rock Hill’s hilly terrains, they’re also helpful for drainage control and improving usable outdoor space.

Maintenance is relatively low, but should include periodic cleaning (power washing at safe pressure), sealing of pavers or concrete (if applicable), checking for shifting or settling, and replenishing joint sand or polymeric sand as necessary. We can advise you on a care routine to prolong the life and look of your hardscape.

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship. We’ll discuss specific warranty coverage for construction and materials before starting your project and ensure you understand the care requirements to keep your hardscape in peak condition.
