Landscaping and Hardscaping for Your Cornelius Property

A new patio should leave you with more than finished paving. You also need a way to reach it, a lawn or planting beds around it, and somewhere for rainwater to go. We handle the construction and the surrounding yard work, so you can hire one team for the complete improvement.

We also work on existing yards that need a more focused update: replacing a worn lawn, refreshing beds along the house, adding a retaining wall or extending the outdoor seating area. Tell us what you want changed and what you want to keep. We’ll build the estimate around that work.

Completed travertine patio beside screened porch steps, with a block retaining wall and gravel detailing
Travertine Terrace Escape

This project started with a concrete path below a screened porch. We removed the path and installed a travertine patio, retaining wall and gravel detailing. The new surface extends across the porch exit, replacing the narrow path with a larger finished area.

The project gallery includes the original yard and completed work.

Our Hardscaping Services

Our hardscaping team builds patios, walls, walkways and outdoor living features for Cornelius homes. Hire us for a new installation or include several of these services in your backyard renovation.

Patios and Pavers

We install paver patios with room for the way you want to use the yard, whether that means a dining table, a grill or a larger seating area. Choose from different paver colors, sizes and laying patterns, including borders that define the patio edge.

Retaining Walls

A retaining wall can create a level area beside a slope, hold back soil or define a raised planting bed. We build walls as standalone improvements and as part of patio projects, accounting for the adjoining ground and drainage in the installation.

Walkways and Pool Decks

We install walkways between entrances, patios and other parts of the yard, along with pool-deck surfaces. Connect the areas you already use with a finished path, or coordinate the deck and paving as part of a larger outdoor renovation.

Concrete and Gravel

We install concrete patios, walkways, pool decks and pads, including decorative concrete options. Gravel is available for paths and other dedicated areas where you want a different surface. We can include removal and preparation in the estimate when an existing surface needs replacing.

Pergolas and Outdoor Kitchens

We build pergolas over patios and seating areas, and install outdoor kitchens for cooking outside. The layout can include space for preparation and serving without crowding the dining area or the route back into the house.

Outdoor Fireplaces and Lighting

Make room for evening use with an outdoor fireplace, then add lighting along paths, steps and gathering areas. We install these features with new hardscaping or as additions to an outdoor space you already have.

Our Landscaping Services

We provide landscape design, installation and lawn care throughout Cornelius. Our services cover the initial groundwork, new plants and grass, and the maintenance that keeps an established property in shape.

Landscape Design and Mulch

We design and install planting areas that fit the space around your house, patio and walkways. Existing plants can remain part of the layout rather than starting every bed over. Our mulch installation service finishes new beds and refreshes older ones.

Sod and Artificial Turf

We install sod for new lawns and replace grass that has become bare or patchy. For an area where you want a grass-like surface without mowing, we also install artificial turf. Ground preparation is part of planning either installation.

Yard Grading and French Drains

We level uneven ground and reshape areas that need preparation for a lawn or patio. Where water collects, a French drain may be part of the solution. We assess the affected area before recommending grading, drainage work or a combination of the two.

Land Clearing

We clear overgrown ground to make room for landscaping and yard improvements. Clearing can be quoted on its own or included before grading and installation, so the site preparation is covered from the start.

Lawn Mowing and Hedge Trimming

We provide lawn mowing and bush and hedge trimming for established properties. Keep the grass cut and overgrown shrubs under control without taking on all the regular yard work yourself. These services are available separately from installation projects.

Aeration, Overseeding, Weed Control and Leaf Removal

Our lawn services include core aeration for compacted ground, overseeding to fill in thin grass, weed control and leaf removal. Choose the work your lawn needs, whether you’re improving an existing yard or keeping up with seasonal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you improve part of my yard without replacing everything?

Yes. We can work on individual beds, lawn areas, walkways or a patio while keeping the parts of the property you already like. Point out existing plants and features you want retained when we discuss the project.

Can you build a patio where the yard slopes?

A slope changes the preparation involved. The project may need grading, a retaining wall or steps before the finished surface is installed. We assess those needs together rather than quoting the patio without the supporting work.

What changes the price of a landscaping project?

The size of the work, material choices, removal of existing surfaces, soil preparation and equipment access all affect the estimate. A finished patio with a wall and new sod is a different scope from paving alone. We quote the combination you actually want installed.

Do you offer maintenance as well as new installations?

Yes. Lawn mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, leaf removal, aeration and overseeding can be requested without a construction project. You can also ask us to quote ongoing care separately from new installation work.

Do you serve areas around Cornelius too?

Yes. We also serve nearby Huntersville, Davidson and Mooresville. Include the property address in your request so we can confirm the work and scheduling for that location.
