Materials

Choosing your materials

What goes on the ground and what holds back the slope — the two real material decisions on most projects.

Patio surfaces

Paver, natural stone or poured concrete.

Paver Patio Installation
Quoted per project
Interlocking 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 project
Flagstone 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 project
The 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.

Wall materials

Segmental Block
Interlocking concrete block, the most common choice for walls up to 4 feet. Fastest to build and the most budget-friendly of the three.
Natural Stone
Fieldstone or cut stone, dry-stacked or mortared. Costs more and takes longer to build than block, and it is the option that ages the way people picture when they imagine a stone wall.
Boulder
Large individual stones, set rather than stacked in courses. Suits a steep or naturalistic slope better than a squared block wall does.
