What We Do
Hardscaping
Hardscaping covers the non-plant elements of a property: patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor living areas. Done correctly, it ties into the surrounding landscaping and drainage, which matters in Maiden's clay-heavy soil where poor grading leads to shifting pavers and pooling water.
