How long does a hardscaping project take?

Do you handle excavation and base preparation?
Absolutely. Proper excavation and base preparation are critical for a long-lasting hardscape. We use professional installation methods including proper grading, drainage solutions, geotextile fabric when needed, and high-quality aggregate bases to help prevent shifting and settling.
What type of pavers and wall stone do you use?
We work with premium materials from trusted manufacturers including modern concrete pavers, natural stone, and armour stone products designed for durability and appearance in Ontario’s climate.
Will my patio or walkway shift over time?
A properly installed hardscape should remain stable for many years. Our installation process focuses heavily on base preparation, compaction, drainage, and edge restraint systems to maximize longevity and minimize movement.
Can you help design my project?
Yes. We help homeowners create functional and visually appealing outdoor spaces that match their property, budget, and lifestyle. Whether you want a modern patio, front entrance upgrade, retaining wall, or complete backyard transformation, we can guide the design process.

Reclaim your sloped yard with our engineered retaining wall solutions. We specialize in Armor Stone and modular block systems that provide essential soil stabilization while adding a sophisticated, tiered look to your landscape.
