A patio is only as good as what’s under it. We build paver and concrete hardscapes — patios, walkways, driveways, and seat walls — with the base preparation, compaction, and drainage that keep them from cracking, settling, or heaving through Bay Area seasons. Built as the structure the whole landscape is organized around.
How we approach concrete & hardscapes
- 01
Base & compaction
Proper excavation, base rock, and compaction — the step cheap installs skip and pay for later.
- 02
Drainage built in
Slope and drainage are set so water sheds off the surface, not toward the house.
- 03
Set & finish
Pavers laid tight or concrete poured and finished to the specified texture and color.
- 04
Edge & seal
Restraints, joint sand, and sealing where appropriate to lock everything in place.
What’s included
Paver & concrete patios
Interlocking pavers, stamped concrete, and broom finishes sized to how you’ll use the space.
Walkways & driveways
Paths, entry approaches, and driveways engineered for load and drainage.
Seat walls & steps
Stacked-stone and block seat walls, raised beds, and steps that tie the hardscape together.
Concrete & Hardscapes — common questions
Pavers or concrete — which is better?
Both have a place. Pavers flex with the soil and are easy to repair; poured concrete gives clean modern lines. We walk you through the trade-offs for your lot, use, and budget.
Why do some patios crack or sink?
Almost always inadequate base prep or drainage. We over-build the base and set drainage from the start, which is what keeps a hardscape level for the long run.
