What is a paver patio?
A paver patio is a customizable outdoor surface made from durable materials like bricks or stones. It adds elegance and functionality to your yard, making it easier to host gatherings, relax outdoors, or increase your property's resale value.
Why should I hire a professional retaining wall contractor?
Retaining walls require experienced planning and construction to prevent soil erosion, improve yard drainage, and provide structural integrity. Our contractors ensure your retaining wall is visually appealing and built to last.
How long does it take to complete a landscape installation project?
Depending on the scope and complexity, most projects range from a few days to a couple of weeks. We'll provide you with a clear timeline during your consultation.
How long does a paver patio installation take?
Installation typically takes 3–7 days, depending on the size, complexity, and site conditions.
How do I maintain a paver patio?
Routine sweeping and occasional pressure washing help keep your patio clean. Sealing the pavers every few years can also protect against stains and fading.
What materials are used for retaining walls?
Common materials include concrete blocks, natural stone, brick, and timber. Your choice depends on aesthetics, site conditions, and budget.
How long do retaining walls last?
With proper design and materials, retaining walls can last 20–50 years or more. Regular inspection and maintenance can extend their lifespan.
When is the best time of year for landscaping?
Spring and fall are ideal for planting due to milder temperatures and adequate rainfall. However, hardscaping can be done nearly year-round, weather permitting.
