Hardscape Installation Process Lakes and Birds
First, we meet at your property to understand what you want and assess what’s possible. We’ll discuss materials, timeline, and budget upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Next, we handle permits and create detailed plans. Your dedicated project manager coordinates everything while we prepare the site properly. This is where experience matters most – proper grading, drainage, and foundation work determine whether your hardscape lasts decades or starts failing in a few years.
Installation happens systematically with regular updates. We protect your existing landscape, maintain a clean worksite, and inspect each phase before moving forward. When we’re finished, you get a final walkthrough and optional cleaning service.

How much does hardscaping cost in Lakes and Birds?
Hardscaping costs vary significantly based on materials, scope, and site conditions. Simple paver patios might start around $15-25 per square foot, while complex outdoor kitchens with natural stone can reach $100+ per square foot.
In Lakes and Birds, most of our clients invest between $25,000-75,000 for comprehensive hardscape projects. This typically includes a combination of patio space, retaining walls, and outdoor features like fire pits or outdoor kitchens.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and permits so you understand exactly where your money goes. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after we start.
What hardscaping materials work best in the Bay Area?
Bay Area weather demands materials that handle both wet winters and dry summers without cracking or shifting. We recommend concrete pavers, natural stone, or porcelain tiles for patios because they’re durable and slip-resistant when wet.
For retaining walls, engineered block systems work better than poured concrete because they flex with ground movement during earthquakes. Natural stone looks beautiful but requires proper drainage behind it to prevent water damage.
Permeable pavers are increasingly popular because they meet local stormwater requirements while looking great. They allow rainwater to filter through instead of running off, which helps prevent flooding and erosion issues common in our area.
How long does hardscape installation take?
Most residential hardscape projects take 1-3 weeks depending on complexity and weather. Simple patio installations might finish in a few days, while comprehensive outdoor living spaces with multiple features can take a month or more.
Weather affects timeline significantly in the Bay Area. We avoid working during heavy rains because proper curing and compaction require dry conditions. Spring and fall typically offer the most predictable schedules.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the project. Your dedicated project manager coordinates all phases so you’re never wondering what’s happening next or when we’ll be back.
Do you handle permits for hardscape projects?
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for your hardscape project. Most patio and walkway installations don’t require permits, but retaining walls over 4 feet, outdoor kitchens with gas lines, and major drainage work typically do.
Fremont has specific requirements for hardscaping projects, especially regarding drainage and setbacks. We know these requirements and ensure your project meets all local codes from the start.
We include permit costs in our estimates so there are no surprises. Our relationships with local building departments help streamline the approval process, keeping your project on schedule.
What's included in your hardscaping warranty?
We warranty all hardscape installations against defects in workmanship for two years. This covers issues like settling pavers, failing joints, or drainage problems that result from installation errors.
Material warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 10-25 years for pavers and stone products. We only use materials from reputable suppliers who stand behind their products long-term.
Our Never Get Burnt Guarantee means you don’t pay anything upfront, and we don’t consider the job complete until you’re satisfied with the results. If something isn’t right, we fix it at no additional cost.
Can you work around existing landscaping and utilities?
Absolutely. We specialize in integrating hardscape features with existing landscapes and working around utilities safely. Before starting any excavation, we coordinate with DigAlert to locate underground lines.
We use specialized equipment and hand-digging techniques near sensitive areas like mature trees or utility lines. Our goal is enhancing your outdoor space without damaging what’s already working well.
Site protection is standard on all our projects. We use plywood walkways, fence off work areas, and clean up daily so the rest of your property stays functional and attractive throughout construction.
