Paver Patios
We create residential and commercial patios using natural stone and manufactured pavers. Our ICPI-certified team follows industry guidelines to ensure lasting installations. Options include custom inlays, seat walls, fire pits, and full outdoor kitchens. Travertine, marble, and Unilock products provide durability in Western PA's climate. Each design balances aesthetics with functional outdoor living needs.
Retaining Walls
Segmental retaining walls address uneven terrain while expanding usable property space. We install N.C.M.A-compliant structures using advanced materials resistant to deicing chemicals. Applications include leveling yards for patios, play areas, or parking. Lifetime-guaranteed products like Unilock combine strength with aesthetic appeal that complements home exteriors and landscaping.
Outdoor Living
Transform outdoor areas into functional living extensions of homes. Our specialty includes complete outdoor kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom stonework. Fireplaces, fire pits, pergolas, and integrated lighting create year-round entertaining spaces. Each project combines durable materials with thoughtful layouts for personalized backyard retreats.
Low Voltage Lighting
Modern LED low-voltage systems enhance safety and aesthetics after dark. Our installations highlight architectural features and landscapes without harsh glare. Automated systems offer energy-efficient operation with minimal maintenance requirements. Lighting integrates seamlessly with patios, walkways, and outdoor living areas to extend usability into evening hours.
Permeable Pavers
Environmentally conscious paving solutions allow water filtration through surface systems. These installations reduce runoff while meeting municipal requirements for new construction. Suitable for driveways, patios, and pool areas, permeable pavers combine practical stormwater management with the aesthetic benefits of traditional stone installations across residential and commercial applications.

We did a major upgrade of our backyard in 2010 and we dealt with Pat Douds, the owner. We were very pleased with both his suggestions and their work. Unfortunately, Pat is no longer with the business. It has been over 10 years since the work was done and we now need some other work completed. We contacted them in the early fall to have then come to see what we wanted to be done and then to do the work. When we called, the answering machine said that they were booked for 2020 but if we left a message, they would get back to us. After numerous calls on our part, they finally did get in touch with
