01 The work

Hardscape and Patios built for Rio Dell.

Hardscape is the part of the yard you stand on, and it is the part that fails first when it is built wrong. We install paver and concrete patios, walkways, driveways, steps, seat walls, and retaining walls across Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. Base prep and compaction are where a patio is won or lost on this coast, so that is where we spend the time. Engineered walls over four feet, permeable pavers, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens are all in scope.

What that covers

  • Paver, concrete, and natural stone patios and walkways
  • Retaining walls in block, wood, or stone, including engineered walls over four feet
  • Driveways in gravel, paver, concrete, and stamped or decorative concrete
  • Fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, pizza ovens, and BBQ surrounds
  • Proper base prep and compaction, which is what keeps it flat in ten years
