Hardscape Projects Built to Impress

Hardscape projects, like patios and fire pits, are often the first thing to come to mind when you think of enhanced outdoor spaces.
 
Fire pits that you sit around reminiscing with friends into the late evening hours, driveways that are the envy of the neighborhood, and charming stone pathways that lead you into your own personal secret garden do not  just boost your curb appeal, they make your home feel more like you.
 
Hardscaping adds to the value of your home and transforms unusable or even unsafe spaces into functional entertainment spots. Make the most of your outdoor area with hardscape projects like driveways, fire pits, fireplaces, retaining walls, custom stone masonry, stairs, or steps.

Fire Feature Design and Installation

Fire features are a key element to include in your outdoor living space in Chicagoland.

Fire pits or fireplaces extend your time outdoors, providing light and warmth, allowing you to stay cozy in the late evening hours or even through the chilly Fall months. They provide a gathering place to roast marshmallows, catch up with family and friends, or peacefully gaze up at the stars.

We offer both natural and gas fire feature design and installation.

Retaining Wall Design and Installation

Whether you need to keep erosion under control, or need to create the look of structure throughout your landscape, retaining walls can add both support and form to your property.

Retaining walls, whether built out of necessity or for a unique landscape focal point, can create usable space for a grassy area or even a patio.
