Hardscaping

We specialize in flagstone patios, walkways and firepits.

Flagstone patios and walkways are one of our specialties. Every stone is sized, fitted, and set individually. Because we've invested in the right equipment and crew, we're not limited to the smaller pieces most contractors stick to. The result is a patio, walkway, or set of steps built to last a lifetime.

Ready to add a stone patio, walkway, or steps?

A well-built flagstone patio or walkway feels grounded and permanent, something that looks like it belongs in the landscape rather than sitting on top of it. Getting there takes experience: selecting pieces for compatible size, thickness, and color, cutting and fitting irregular edges, keeping stones level while managing drainage. These are skills that come from doing this kind of work over and over, and it's a big part of why customers come to us specifically.

Our hardscaping work includes:

  • Large flagstone patios as a deck alternative
  • Flagstone walkways and garden paths connecting yard spaces and entrances
  • Broad stone steps for hillsides, slopes, and multi-level yards
  • Stone landings at doorways, garage entries, and garden gates
  • Flagstone integrated with retaining walls, fire pits, and sitting areas
  • Stepping stone layouts set into lawn or groundcover

Every hardscaping project starts with Corby walking the site with you to understand how you want to use the space and what you want it to look like. We assess the grade, drainage, and soil conditions before any stone goes down — proper base preparation is what separates a flagstone surface that stays level for twenty years from one that shifts after the first wet season. We excavate, set a compacted gravel base, and dry-set each stone so the finished surface drains well and won't heave in freeze-thaw cycles.

Hardscaping is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your property. A well-built flagstone patio expands your usable outdoor living space, requires virtually no maintenance, and looks better as it ages into the surrounding landscape.
