We build paver patios, walkways, and seating areas set on a properly compacted base so they do not shift or settle in Durham’s clay soil. Every hardscape project includes grading the surrounding area so water sheds away from the new surface instead of pooling against it.
Excavation and compaction are done to spec before any paver goes down, so surfaces stay level.
Grading and drainage are built into every hardscape design, not treated as an afterthought.
Years of building on Durham's clay soil inform how we prep, grade, and install every project.
Pavers are set with proper edge restraints so joints don't spread or shift over time.
Built to hold back grade changes and prevent soil erosion on sloped yards.
Proper base excavation and compaction so patios and walkways stay level over time.
Grading and drainage planned alongside the hardscape, not added as an afterthought.
We assess grade, drainage, and soil conditions before designing the layout.
You get a layout and a written quote covering materials, base prep, and drainage.
The area is excavated and a compacted base is built to support the pavers or wall.
Pavers or block are set, joints are filled, and the site is cleaned up when finished.
A patio or retaining wall looks most finished when the surrounding beds are planned alongside it. We can tie a new hardscape into planting beds, border edging, and mulch so the hard surface and the plantings around it read as one project instead of two separate add-ons done at different times.
We install paver patios and walkways. Pavers handle Durham's clay soil movement better than a single poured slab and are easier to repair if a section settles.
A standard patio typically takes a few days from excavation through paver installation, depending on size and site access.
Taller retaining walls can require permitting depending on height and location. Tell us your project details and we will flag it before scheduling.
Occasional joint sand top-off and periodic sweeping are typically all that is needed.
