Professional Hardscaping Services in Philadelphia

Landscape Retaining Wall Installation

Some areas in Philadelphia have hills and valleys which makes retaining walls necessary for home and business owners. Building a retaining wall will help stabilize slopes, reduce soil erosion, and create more usable space on your property. You can choose from concrete, stone, or wood for your wall system. Our custom walls are as beautiful as they are practical.

Stacked Stone Walls

Stone retaining walls are classics that have been used around the world for centuries. These hand built stone walls have a lot of character and are unique to each build. If you want the most natural look for your home or business, choose this option. It's perfect for raised gardens, property delineation, or structural support.

Boulder Walls

Boulder walls are another type of retaining wall that has been around for thousands of years. They stand the test of time because they look stunning and get the job done. Boulders look beautiful when surrounded by gardens, shrubs, and other softscape elements. We use locally sourced boulders for these projects to be sustainable and reduce transportation costs.

Concrete Walls

If you are looking for an affordable retaining wall option that is strong and will last long, concrete is the way to go. Concrete is a lower-cost material that still looks great and comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. If you are on a budget, we can design these walls with price in mind to meet those needs.

Wood Retaining Walls

Timber retaining walls are a popular choice for people looking for a natural look and a lower price point. They give all the benefits of other walls with the added benefit of being charming and easy on the wallet.

Outdoor Steps & Landings

Make your outdoor space more accessible and functional by constructing steps, stairs, and landings. If your property has slopes, retaining walls and steps are a great way to reshape those areas and make them usable. Our custom designs will bring together your landscape and create a cohesive experience.

Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways

Concrete is a popular choice for sidewalks and walkways in terms of durability and affordability. You probably think of city sidewalks when you hear "concrete sidewalks," but they are so much more than that. While we certainly can install or repair the standard sidewalks, we also offer many decorative options:

Stamped Concrete

Imprint patterns into the concrete to achieve the high-end look of cobblestone, pavers, brick and more at a lower cost. This decorative concrete opens the doors to many possibilities with dozens of patterns and textures available. 

Stained Concrete

Stained concrete floors are great for adding a bit of flare to your outdoor space. You can choose between water-based and acid stains. The end results of an acid stain will depend on the material it’s being used on. The colors are going to end up being either browns or blues and greens. 

Water-based stains give more control and predictability because they rely on pigments instead of chemical reactions.

Epoxy Finish

Adds a protective, durable coat while adding a high gloss sheen to the final appearance. This finish provides protection against stains, wear and tear, and weathering.

Concrete Sidewalk Repair & Sidewalk Replacement

Have your sidewalks become cracked, uneven, or even dangerous to walk on? Tree root growth is a big factor, especially in Philadelphia where the city planted trees along the streets years ago. Another source of sidewalk issues is poor soil conditions and moisture levels that cause movement and cracking in cement. Don’t hesitate, we can take care of your sidewalks and remove the trip hazards today.

When we do sidewalk replacement we:

• remove the damaged concrete segment

• create a stable foundation

• reinforce the area with rebar

• pour quality cement

• broom finish the concrete surface to give it a texture and make it slip-resistant

The dry time for sidewalk concrete is typically 24 hours.
