Paver, natural stone and concrete hardscaping — engineered with a proper base and real drainage, and backed by a 5-year warranty.
Anything built to last outdoors is only as strong as the base beneath it. We build every project on a properly compacted foundation with real drainage, so it stays level and solid through Michigan's freeze-and-thaw winters instead of heaving and settling.
Whether you want a paver patio for entertaining, a natural-stone walkway, a retaining wall to tame a slope, or a fire pit to gather around, we build it to look sharp and last for years. We work in pavers, natural stone and concrete, and help you choose the material and pattern that fit your home.
It's all backed by our 5-year hardscaping warranty — because we build it to earn it.
We plan the space, materials and pattern around how you want to use it.
We excavate and compact a proper base with drainage — the part that makes it last.
We lay, set and finish your hardscape, backed by a 5-year warranty.
Most people come to us knowing they want a patio — not which material to build it out of. Here’s how we talk it through.
Interlocking pavers are our most-requested surface, and they suit Michigan well. Because the surface is made of individual units, it flexes with the freeze-and-thaw cycle instead of cracking. If a paver ever gets stained or damaged, we lift that one piece and replace it — no patch line across the whole patio. They also come in the widest range of colors, shapes and laying patterns.
Irregular flagstone and cut stone give you a softer, more organic look, and no two installations are identical. It costs more in labor because every piece is fitted by hand, but if you want a patio or walkway that looks like it grew out of the property rather than being dropped onto it, nothing else comes close.
A poured slab is the most economical way to cover a large area, and it makes sense for some driveways and utility spaces. The trade-off is that it’s one continuous surface — any ground movement shows up as a crack, and repairs are visible.
Walls do real structural work: holding back a slope, creating a level area, or turning an awkward grade into usable yard. We build with segmental block, natural stone and timber, and the engineering behind the wall — base, backfill and drainage — matters far more than the face you see.
We work in all three materials, so we have no reason to steer you toward one. We’ll tell you honestly which suits the space, the way you’ll use it, and the budget you have in mind.
Every hardscape is quoted after we’ve seen the site, because two patios of the same size can be very different jobs. These are the things that move the number.
Square footage is the starting point, but curves, corners and detailed patterns add cutting time on top of it.
Whether our equipment can reach the work area, or whether base material and pavers have to be moved by hand through a gate.
How much material has to come out and how deep the base needs to go. This is invisible in the finished job and it is the single biggest factor in whether it lasts.
Slopes, downspouts and low spots that have to be solved before anything gets laid.
Pavers, natural stone and poured concrete sit at genuinely different price points.
Any change in elevation means more engineering, more block and more labor than a flat install.
Estimates are free. We’ll walk the space with you, talk through the material options, and put the whole thing in writing before anything starts. Request a free estimate.
Most residential patios are a matter of days on site once we start — roughly a day for excavation and base, one to two for laying and cutting, then edging, joint sand and cleanup. Size, access and weather all move that, and we’ll give you a realistic window with your estimate.
Frost heave is exactly what ruins hardscaping in this climate, and it is the reason we spend so much of the job on what you can’t see. We excavate to depth, compact the base in layers, and build drainage in from the start. Built that way, a paver surface moves as a unit and settles back level. Built on a shallow base, it doesn’t.
Yes. Sunken patio sections, settled walkways and failing retaining walls are common calls. We’ll tell you straight whether you have a surface problem we can reset or a base problem that needs rebuilding — those are very different jobs and it isn’t fair to quote one as the other.
Our workmanship on the installation, for five years. Get in touch and we’ll go through exactly what that covers for your specific project.
Hardscaping needs workable, unfrozen ground, so the build season runs roughly spring through late fall. Winter is a good time to plan the design and get on the schedule early — spring fills up fast.
