Hardscape & Structure
Patios, walls, pathways, and outdoor structures across Sonoma, Marin, and Napa County. We build the bones of your property right — so everything planted around them has something solid to grow beside.
Why it matters
A patio that heaves after the first wet winter. A retaining wall that leans by year three. Steps that crack because the base wasn't compacted. These aren't material failures — they're installation failures. And they're almost always caused by cutting corners on what no one can see.
We build the base the way it needs to be built — proper depth, compaction, drainage, and grading — before a single paver or stone goes down. It costs more time upfront. It costs nothing to repair later.
Durable, uniform, and available in dozens of profiles. Repairs without replacing the whole surface.
Flagstone, slate, quartzite, and bluestone. No two installations look the same. Built to age well.
Broom finish, exposed aggregate, or smooth — poured concrete is the workhorse of outdoor structure.
Permeable, low-maintenance, and naturally fire-resistant. A smart choice for North Bay properties.
Every project accounts for water movement before the first shovel goes in. No surface pooling, no erosion, no washout.
Proper subbase depth and compaction are what separate a patio that lasts 20 years from one that fails in three.
You know what you're getting before we start. No cost surprises mid-project, no verbal agreements.
What's included
What we build and how we build it — from site assessment to finished surface.
We walk the property, evaluate soil conditions, drainage patterns, and grade — everything that determines how the project needs to be built. No charge.
Line-item scope, material specs, timeline, and a price that doesn't change. You know exactly what you're getting before anything starts.
Proper depth, correct aggregate, and full compaction. This is where most jobs go wrong. It's where we spend the most time.
Surface and subsurface drainage designed to move water away from structures and plantings. Addressed before anything is built, not as an afterthought.
Pavers, stone, concrete, or DG — set and finished to spec. Joints filled, edges detailed, surface cleaned and sealed where appropriate.
We walk the finished work with you, explain maintenance requirements, and stay available after the job is done.
Built to spec. Base work done right before anything else goes down.

The site visit is free. We come out, walk the property, assess the grade and drainage, and follow up with a written proposal — scope, materials, timeline, and a fixed price. No obligation to proceed.
