Our hardscaping services include retaining walls, brick borders, decorative stone pathways, fire pit installations, patio construction, concrete work (under 600 sq ft), gravel installations for shed pads, steppers, and decorative rock beds. We specialize in transforming outdoor spaces with durable, beautiful hardscape elements that complement your landscaping throughout the Quad Cities area.

Hardscaping costs vary depending on the materials used, size of the project, and complexity of design. While we're not the cheapest option in the Quad Cities, we provide exceptional value with quality materials and craftsmanship. Small projects like a simple stepping stone path might start at a few hundred dollars, while custom patios or fire pit areas could range from $1,500-$5,000+. We'll provide a detailed estimate after seeing your space and understanding your vision.

Yes! Fire pit patios are one of our specialty hardscaping services. We design and install custom fire pit areas that create perfect gathering spaces for family and friends. We can build various styles from simple stone fire pits to more elaborate designs with seating walls and surrounding patio space, all built to proper safety specifications and local codes.

We build several types of retaining walls including decorative block walls, natural stone walls, and timber walls. Our specialty is decorative retaining walls that not only solve elevation and erosion issues but also enhance your landscape's appearance. Whether you need a small garden wall or a larger structural retaining wall, our team has the experience to build it right.

Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Smaller projects like a simple stone border might be completed in 1-2 days, while more extensive hardscaping like a patio with retaining walls could take 1-2 weeks. Weather conditions can impact timelines, but we'll provide you with a realistic completion estimate before starting your project and keep you updated throughout the process.

Absolutely! We specialize in taking on smaller concrete and hardscaping repair work that many larger companies don't want to handle. Whether you have settled pavers, damaged retaining walls, or cracked concrete under 600 square feet, we can evaluate the issue and recommend cost-effective solutions to restore your hardscaped areas.

We use a variety of high-quality materials for borders and edging, including concrete pavers, natural stone, brick, and steel edging. We select materials based on your aesthetic preferences, existing landscape elements, and practical considerations like durability in our Quad Cities climate. Our team can show you samples and examples to help you choose the perfect option for your property.

Most smaller hardscaping projects don't require permits, but larger retaining walls (typically over 4 feet tall) or projects that affect drainage patterns may need permits. As part of our service, we can help determine if your project requires permits and assist with the application process if needed. We're familiar with local regulations throughout the Quad Cities area.

While we don't specialize in electrical work, we can design and prepare your hardscaping elements (patios, walls, paths) with conduit or space for lighting that can be installed by a qualified electrician. We're happy to coordinate with your preferred electrician or recommend trusted partners in the Quad Cities area to complete the lighting aspects of your hardscaping project.

Proper drainage is critical for any hardscaping project's longevity and functionality. We carefully plan the slope, grading, and construction methods to ensure water flows away from structures and doesn't pool on surfaces. For patios and walkways, we install the appropriate base materials and may incorporate drainage solutions like French drains or dry creek beds if needed. This is especially important in the Quad Cities where our seasonal weather can be challenging.

Yes! We excel at creating comprehensive outdoor living spaces that combine various hardscape elements like patios, fire pits, seating walls, and pathways. While we focus on projects under 600 square feet (which is perfect for most residential outdoor living areas), we can design a space that maximizes functionality and aesthetics within your available area and budget.

We've found our sweet spot in the market by focusing on small to medium hardscaping projects (under 600 square feet) that larger contractors often don't want to handle.

As a locally owned company with deep roots in the Quad Cities since 2014, we take pride in every hardscaping job we complete, no matter the size.
