Hardscaping & patios in Glen Allen & Richmond, VA
Natural stone and paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits and outdoor living spaces, built to last decades in the Virginia climate. Ross runs every project himself, from the first meeting and the proposal to the last walkthrough, and builds with a hardscape partner he has trusted for nearly ten years.
Outdoor living, built to last
Every project is designed around how you'll actually use the space and finished with the plantings and lighting that make it feel finished.
Patios
Natural stone and paver patios sized for the way you entertain, from a quiet sitting area to a full outdoor room.
Retaining walls
Stone and block walls that hold a slope, create level space and add structure, including tiered walls on steep lots.
Walkways & steps
Stone, paver and brick paths and steps that connect the house, patio and garden safely.
Fire pits & fireplaces
Natural stone fire pits and outdoor fireplaces with built-in seating.
Seating walls & outdoor kitchens
Seating walls, grill counters and outdoor kitchen structures that turn a patio into somewhere you live.
Patio lighting
Wall cap, step and patio lighting designed with the build, so wiring is planned before the stone goes down.
What's under the stone matters most
Patios and walls fail from the ground up. Virginia clay holds water and moves, so the base and drainage get the same attention as the finished surface.
- Excavation and compacted base sized for the job
- Drainage planned into every patio and wall
- Materials chosen to match your home and the existing landscape
- Lighting conduit planned before the surface goes down
- Plantings and sod restored around the finished work
- Ross on site throughout, from layout to cleanup

The stonework is built by a hardscape partner Ross has worked alongside for nearly ten years. It's a long-standing partnership, not a crew found for the job. You get a seasoned hardscape team and one person accountable for the whole project, including the plantings, lighting and drainage around it.

Hardscaping FAQ
Who builds my patio or wall?
Our hardscape partner of nearly ten years builds the stonework. Ross handles everything else: the design, the proposal, scheduling and communication, and he's on site throughout to make sure the work meets his standard.
Can you help with HOA approval?
Yes. We design to your community's guidelines and help prepare the plans and documentation your HOA needs to approve the project.
Do you handle the landscaping around the patio?
Yes. That's one of the main reasons to hire a landscape company for hardscaping. We finish the plantings, sod, mulch and lighting around the new work so the project looks complete, not like a slab dropped in a yard.
Can you add lighting to a patio or wall?
Yes. Lighting is easiest when it's planned before construction, but we can add step, wall and patio lighting to existing hardscapes too.
How fast will I get an estimate?
After the free consultation, you'll get a detailed, itemized written estimate within 24–48 hours.

Ross is your contact from the first call to the final walkthrough. You'll always know what's happening, when, and why. No chasing anyone down.

Our partner's stonework is precise, level and built to last decades, and Ross holds every detail around it to the same standard. It's the kind of work neighbors stop to ask about.
