The work, by type
Organised by the kind of project rather than by date, so you can find the thing you are actually thinking about.
-
Retaining Walls
Segmental block and natural stone, from a single garden terrace to a full slope.
What to look for
Look for: consistent course lines, a capstone that overhangs evenly, and no bulge anywhere along the face. A wall that is going to fail tells you eighteen months early.
How we build it -
Paver Patios
Patios, walkways and driveways with the base built properly underneath.
What to look for
Look for: tight joints, clean cuts at the border, and water running off the surface rather than sitting in low spots.
How we build it -
Hardscaping
Stone steps, seat walls, columns and the structural pieces that make a slope usable.
What to look for
Look for: risers that are the same height the whole way up. It is the difference between steps you trust and steps you watch your feet on.
How we build it -
Landscape Design
Full property plans, built by the crew that drew them.
What to look for
Look for: layered planting with real front-to-back depth, and beds shaped to the house rather than to the mower.
How we build it -
Outdoor Living
Fire pits, seat walls and lighting for the part of the year that happens after dark.
What to look for
Look for: seating at a height people actually sit on, and enough clearance around the fire to use it.
How we build it -
Lawn Maintenance
Mowing, edging, trimming and blowing, on a day you can set your watch by.
What to look for
Look for: a hard edge along the drive, clippings off the concrete, and the same crew every visit.
How we build it -
Grading & Drainage
Regrading, french drains and the fixes that stop water reaching the house.
What to look for
Look for: surface restored properly afterward. A drainage fix that leaves a scar across the lawn is half a job.
How we build it -
Mulch & Pine Straw
Beds edged, weeded and topped at the right depth.
What to look for
Look for: the cut edge between bed and lawn. It is most of what makes a bed look finished, and it is the first thing skipped on a cheap job.
How we build it -
Sod Installation
New lawns on prepared soil, laid tight and rolled.
What to look for
Look for: tight seams and full coverage to the edges. Gaps dry out and stay visible for a season.

How it’s built
Most of a retaining wall is buried
This is the build, in section. The gravel pad goes in first, then a perforated drain pipe at the base, then block set course by course with clean stone backfilled behind every one.
Everything below the grass line is what you are actually paying for. Skip it and the prettiest wall on the street leans within five years.
- Compacted stone base
- Drain pipe piped to daylight
- Gravel behind every course
- Capstones and plantings last
