What's Included in This Service?

Every hardscaping project includes comprehensive planning, material selection, and installation techniques designed for Bloomington's climate and soil conditions.

How do you prepare the foundation for hardscaping?
We excavate to proper depth, install compacted gravel base, and add sand leveling layer. This three-layer system prevents settling and maintains stability through freeze-thaw cycles.
What materials work best for Indiana weather?
We use concrete pavers, natural stone, and reinforced concrete that resist cracking from temperature changes. These materials maintain their appearance and function year after year.
Can you add lighting to hardscaping projects?
Yes, we integrate low-voltage LED lighting systems during installation. This includes pathway lights, accent lighting for walls, and ambient lighting for entertainment areas.
How long before I can use my new patio or walkway?
Most hardscaping installations are ready for foot traffic immediately after completion. Heavy furniture or vehicles should wait 48 hours for final settling.
Do hardscaping projects require ongoing maintenance?
Minimal maintenance is needed. Annual joint sand replenishment and periodic sealing keep pavers looking new, while proper installation prevents most structural issues.

Professional hardscaping adds immediate value and long-term enjoyment to your property with materials built to last. Plan your hardscaping consultation to get started on your outdoor living project.
