First Tier Services

Most homeowners only see the final product—but how many know what actually goes into building a hardscape that lasts?

Proper excavation, a solid compacted base, and effective drainage control can be the difference between a space that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 20+ years.

The work underneath matters just as much as what you see on top.

A lower price today can become a much bigger expense when the work has to be repaired or replaced.

Water going where it should 🌧️👍 This job needed more than a quick fix. We replaced the full buried downspout run, corrected the grade, and regraded the lawn so drainage moves cleanly from the house toward the road. That means less standing water and fewer headaches for the homeowner. If your yard isn’t draining right, we’re here to help.
From endoscope inspections and full installs we have you covered to get a solution in place as quick as possible.

Built to hold strong and drain right 💪🌧️ This project got a 140' Versa-Lok retaining wall in storm blend, plus center steps for easier creek access. We also regraded the yard so water moves the way it should and the lawn ties in clean with the new wall. Solid work that looks good and solves a problem. Visit our website to get on the schedule.

We replaced an old paver walk with new Lexington pavers from Oberfields in a Canyon Creek blend, finished with a charcoal border for a clean, sharp look. Built to hold up and look great for years to come. Thinking about upgrading your walkway? Visit our website to get started.

We removed the old retaining wall and replaced it with a new block system designed for strength, drainage, and long-term stability.

Pisa XL smooth in the fieldstone blend topped with a charcoal cap. Clean back fill and geo grid bring this one all together. Clean finish, solid support, and one less thing for this homeowner to worry about. Thinking about replacing an aging wall? Visit our website to get started. Control

Big upgrade for this yard 👌🪨 We installed a Pisa XL Smooth retaining wall and tied the whole project together with regrading, new planting, metal railings, and landscape lighting. The goal was to simplify the lawn maintenance, creating more manageable spaces and slopes to cut. We created a space that’s easier to enjoy day and night. Curb appeal and erosion control bring this project to life. From design to final install we have you covered. Visit our website for inspiration and free consultations on your outdoor projects!

Some behind-the-scenes from one of our most recent projects! 👀

Lots of fun bringing this one to life — from the initial design all the way through the final touches.

It all starts with what you won’t see when the project is finished:

⛏️ Proper excavation and site preparation
🪨 Woven geotextile fabric separating the native soil from our aggregate base
📐 Each base block individually set and leveled
🚜 Tons and tons of clean #57 limestone for drainage and structural backfill
💪 Geogrid installed to tie the wall back into the hillside and provide long-term reinforcement

A retaining wall is only as good as the preparation behind it. Taking the time to build the foundation correctly is what creates a wall designed to perform for decades.

Patio looking sharp again . We took care of a sunken spot on this front patio, then pressure washed and resanded the pavers to bring everything back together. Proper paver maintenance ensures your space remains top quality for years. Water will no longer sit against the foundation and will prevent future issues in the home . 👍 If your patio or walkway is starting to settle, we’re here to help. Visit our website!
