About our work in Charlotte

Built for Charlotte homes — not a generic template.

From SouthPark to Myers Park, Ballantyne to Plaza Midwood, Charlotte's neighborhoods each have their own architectural language. We design hardscapes that read like they belong — brick and bluestone in the historic neighborhoods, clean modern lines in the newer in-town builds.

  • Historic-neighborhood patios in brick, bluestone and clay paver
  • Modern paver patios and outdoor kitchens for newer Charlotte builds
  • Mecklenburg County permits and full HOA design packages
Why our Charlotte work lasts

Engineered for Mecklenburg's soil, permits and weather.

Most hardscape failures around Charlotte come down to base prep and drainage — not the pavers. Here's what we engineer around on every job in Mecklenburg County.

Red clay base, built deeper

Charlotte sits on expansive Piedmont red clay that swells and shrinks. We compact 6–8" of ABC stone over geotextile fabric so patios and walkways don't heave or settle.

Permits & HOA review handled

Retaining walls over 30" need an engineered permit in Mecklenburg County, and most Charlotte-area HOAs require design review. We prepare and submit the full package.

Drainage for 43" of rain

The Charlotte metro averages ~43" of rain a year. We grade every Charlotte job and route French drains and downspouts away from the foundation before laying a single paver.
