Hardscape contractor in Cornelius, NC.
Paver patios, outdoor kitchens and lakefront hardscapes for Cornelius and the Lake Norman waterfront.
Built for Cornelius homes — not a generic template.
Cornelius sits right on Lake Norman — which means a lot of waterfront lots, sloped yards and homes that want to make the most of the view. We design patios, kitchens and fire features that frame the water and walls that hold up to lakeside grade.
- Lakefront patios and pool decks built for waterfront use
- Retaining walls engineered for sloped lots and lake grades
- Outdoor kitchens with full gas, water and stainless cabinetry
Engineered for Mecklenburg's soil, permits and weather.
Most hardscape failures around Cornelius 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
Cornelius 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 Cornelius-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 Cornelius job and route French drains and downspouts away from the foundation before laying a single paver.
ICPI & NCMA methods
Installed to paver (ICPI) and segmental-wall (NCMA) industry standards, with a written workmanship warranty on every Cornelius project.
