Hardscapes

Hardscapes in Northwest Indiana

A patio you can set a table on, a walk that goes where people actually walk, a wall that holds the slope back. We build paver patios, walkways and retaining walls across Northwest Indiana, and the same crew that plans the job builds it. You get a hard surface that looks finished and stays level.

What is included

Every Hardscapes visit

  • Paver patios sized to how the space gets used
  • Paver walkways to doors, drives and gates
  • Retaining walls to hold a slope or a bed
  • Excavation and a compacted base under every surface
  • Edging that keeps the surface from creeping outward
  • Beds and finish mulch or rock tied in around the new work

What we do not do

Said up front so nobody wastes a phone call.

  • Poured concrete work

Built from the base up

A patio or walk is only as good as what sits under it. Most of the work on a hardscape job is the part you never see once it is done.

  • Sod and topsoil dug out down to firm ground before anything goes in
  • Base material compacted in layers, not dumped and raked flat
  • Edges restrained so the surface does not drift or open at the seams
  • Surface sloped so water runs off instead of toward the house

Retaining walls that hold a slope

A retaining wall is there to hold soil and water back, and water is what pushes a wall over. How the wall handles water is the job.

  • Wall set on a compacted base so the first course starts level
  • Drainage stone behind the wall and a way for water to leave
  • Backfill added in stages and compacted as it goes
  • Top finished and the ground around it graded and cleaned up

Patios and walks that fit how you live

We mark the layout on the ground and walk it with you before anything is dug, so size and shape are settled while they are still easy to change.

  • Patio sized around the table, the grill and room to move
  • Walks routed the way people really cross the yard
  • Pattern and paver color picked with you at the estimate

FAQ

Hardscapes questions

What kinds of hardscape work do you do?

Paver patios, walkways and retaining walls are the core of it, along with other hard surface work. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say plainly whether it is something we build.

Do you pour concrete?

No. Poured concrete work is outside what we do. We build with pavers and stone.

Can you tie a new patio into my existing beds?

Yes. Beds, edging and finish mulch or rock can be part of the same job so the new surface is not sitting next to a worn out yard.
