Hardscapes

Durable outdoor structures that add function, beauty, and long-term value to your property.

Service Overview

What We Deliver

Hardscaping transforms outdoor spaces from ordinary yards into functional living areas. LC & Son designs and builds patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and custom stone features that stand up to weather and heavy use.

We work with natural stone, pavers, concrete, and composite materials to create surfaces and structures that complement your home’s architecture and fit your lifestyle. Every hardscape project starts with proper grading, a solid base, and attention to drainage.

From small front walkways to full backyard outdoor living spaces, our hardscape work is built to last and designed to look right for years.

Why Go Professional

The Professional Difference

Hardscape installations require proper base preparation, precise grading, and correct material handling. Without these fundamentals, pavers shift, walls lean, and surfaces crack within a few seasons.

LC & Son follows industry-standard installation methods with compacted bases, proper joint sand, and drainage planning. The difference between professional and amateur hardscape work becomes obvious within the first year.

FAQ

Hardscapes FAQ

Common questions about our hardscapes services.

How long does a typical patio installation take?

Most residential patios take 3–5 days depending on size and complexity. This includes excavation, base preparation, paver installation, and joint sand application.

What materials do you recommend for patios?

We work with natural stone, concrete pavers, and porcelain pavers. The best choice depends on your budget, style preference, and how the space will be used. We’ll help you choose during the consultation.

Do hardscape installations require permits?

Most patios and walkways don’t require permits, but retaining walls over a certain height typically do. We handle permit requirements as part of our project planning.

How do you handle drainage around hardscapes?

Every installation is graded for proper drainage. We build in slope to direct water away from structures and can incorporate channel drains or French drains when needed.

What kind of warranty do you offer on hardscape work?

We stand behind our workmanship. Specific warranty terms depend on the project scope and materials used, which we discuss during your estimate.
