We Are Specialists in the Field

We don't dabble with hardscapes. This is all that we do.

Walls and pavers are what we install more than anything else. A crew that builds them week after week has already seen what goes wrong, and knows how to build so it doesn't. Here's where our installation numbers stand right now:

33,760 sq ftWall installations, currently
66,840 sq ftPaver installations, currently

What You Can Count On

The questions we'd ask before hiring a contractor

Letting a crew onto your property is a big decision. Here's how we answer the questions that matter most.

Will you still be around?

Longevity: in business since 2000

According to the Small Business Administration, 4 out of 5 small businesses will not make it to the 5-year mark. We got past that mark a long time ago, so your warranty is backed by a company that's still here.

Will the owners actually be there?

Owners on site for every job

Never wonder if you'll get to see our leadership on the job. We'll be there!

  • No job hopping. We'll see your project through start to finish.

What if someone gets hurt?

Coverage

  • Fully insured well above the minimum guidelines
  • Worker's comp for our team
  • Full disability for our owner

If a contractor is uninsured or underinsured, YOU will be held liable in the event of an accident.

Where does my deposit go?

Your money, your project

  • Deposits collected go straight to a separate bank account until your project begins
  • All of your payments are used specifically for your job. No "robbing Peter to pay Paul."

Do you know who you are allowing to work on your property?

Pre-screened employees

  • Drug screenings
  • Criminal background checks

What's it like having a crew at my house?

Family friendly

  • No swearing
  • No smoking
  • No crazy music on the job
  • Portable toilet on site, so there are no muddy footprints in your house
