We show you the finished patio before you sign for one.
Every estimate comes with finished projects built on ground like yours — same slope, same soil, same square footage — plus the drainage plan most patios skip until they crack two summers later.

Proof, not a paragraph
You'll see the finished project before you sign anything.
Nobody buys a patio from a description. Every estimate comes with real work on ground like yours.
What we build
Patios, walls and the outdoor living around them.
Patios
Paver Patio Installation
Quoted per projectInterlocking concrete or clay paver, set on a compacted base sized to your soil, not a one-size fits all spec. Most Forsyth County clay needs more base than the sales brochure assumes.
Natural Stone Patio Installation
Quoted per projectFlagstone or travertine, dry-laid or mortared depending on use. Costs more than paver up front and moves less over twenty years if the base underneath is done right.
Poured & Stamped Concrete Patio
Quoted per projectThe lowest-cost of the three surfaces and the one most likely to crack on our clay soil without the right base and control joints. Honest for a tight budget; we'll say when paver or stone is the better long-term buy instead.
Retaining Walls
Retaining Wall Installation
Quoted per linear footSegmental block, natural stone or boulder, engineered for the actual height and the actual soil behind it — a wall over 4 feet needs a permit in most of our service area, and we pull it.
Retaining Wall Replacement & Repair
Quoted per projectA leaning or bulging wall is almost always a drainage failure behind it, not a block problem. We fix what pushed it before we rebuild the face.
Fire Features
Fire Pit Installation
From $2,200Built into the patio, not dropped on top of it — a seat wall and a paver apron sized to the fire pit, not a metal ring on bare grass.
Outdoor Fireplace Installation
From $6,500Wood-burning or gas, stone or veneer-faced. Sized to actually throw heat to where people sit, which is the part a photo never shows you.
Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor Kitchen Installation
Quoted per projectGrill island, counter and storage built into the patio plan from the start, not added after the concrete is already poured.
Drainage & Grading
Drainage Solutions
From $850French drains, downspout tie-ins and channel drains that move water away from the house and off the patio, not just off the surface and into the neighbor's yard.
Grading & Erosion Control
Quoted per projectRegrading a slope before it washes out, or before it sends water somewhere it was never meant to go. Usually the real fix behind a wall or patio that failed once already.
Softscape
Sod Installation
From $1.10 per sq ft installedFinishes the edge of a hardscape project so the transition from stone to lawn actually looks planned.
Landscape Lighting
From $1,800Low-voltage path and accent lighting, run while the beds are already open during a build — the cheapest time to add it is before everything is planted back in.
Why us
Every quote looks similar until the crew shows up.
You see three finished projects like yours first
Same slope, same soil, close to your square footage — before you sign anything. If we haven't built something close to what you're describing, we'll say so.
Silas runs every site evaluation himself
The person who has to answer for how a wall holds up in five years is the person who looks at your yard, not a salesperson working off a form.
You see the base before it gets covered
Compacted gravel, geotextile fabric, the drainage plan — photographed before a single paver goes down. It is the part you are actually paying for and the part you would otherwise never see.
We'll tell you when a wall isn't the answer
About a third of our retaining-wall calls end with 'you need a grading fix, not a wall.' A wall put in front of a drainage problem just fails somewhere else.
How it actually goes
Site visit, material, base prep, build.
In that order, every time. The base prep step is the one most companies skip past — it's the one that decides whether the finished work still looks right in five years.
- Step 1
We walk the yard
Slope, drainage, soil, what has to come out first — the site evaluation is what turns a square-footage guess into a real number.
- Step 2
You pick the material
Paver, natural stone or poured concrete for a patio; block, stone or boulder for a wall. We show you finished examples of each, not a swatch.
- Step 3
We prep the base
Compacted gravel, geotextile fabric and drainage first — photographed before anything covers it. This is the part that decides whether it lasts.
- Step 4
We build it
Most patios under 500 square feet finish in three to five working days once the crew is on-site.
Before you ask for a number
Why we can't quote a patio over the phone.
Two patios the same size can price very differently. Here's what actually moves the number.
What actually decides the price
- Square footage — the obvious one, but rarely the biggest swing
- Slope and grade — a sloped yard needs retaining or extra base work most flat lots don't
- What is already there — old concrete or a dead patio usually has to come out before anything new goes in
- Drainage — a yard that already holds water costs more to build on than one that doesn't
- Material — paver, natural stone and poured concrete are three different price points before labor is even counted
- Wall height — anything over 4 feet needs engineering and a permit, which is real added cost, not padding
It's why a fire pit or a lighting job gets a starting price on this site and a patio or a wall doesn't — a fire pit is the same size wherever it goes. A patio isn't.
“Anybody can pour concrete or stack block. The part that matters is what's underneath it, and whether the water has somewhere to go.”
From homeowners
What people say afterwards.

“They showed us two patios in our own neighborhood before we signed anything, both on the same kind of slope we have. That's what got us past three other quotes that were basically the same paragraph with a different logo.”
Marisol T.
Paver patio, Cumming
“Our old wall was leaning for two years before we called anyone. Colton found the real problem was a downspout dumping straight behind it — fixed the drainage, then rebuilt the wall. It hasn't moved since.”
Dwight A.
Retaining wall replacement, Woodstock
“Every other company quoted a flat number over the phone before ever seeing the yard. Silas walked it, explained why our slope changes the price, and the final number matched what he said on-site almost exactly.”
