Hardscaping Services In University Place
From custom patios to drainage solutions, artificial turf to retaining walls, we handle every aspect of hardscaping design and installation. Each project starts the same way: we test your soil, understand your vision, and create a transparent plan before breaking ground. Our four core services work together to transform your outdoor space into something you'll love for decades.
Paver Patios
Designed to handle tree-root pressure and moisture cycles. Ideal for shaded yards, backyard seating areas, and outdoor living expansions.
Driveways & Walkways
Lakewood driveways often develop sinking and rutting due to clay and oversaturated soil. We rebuild with deep base excavation and controlled grading.
Retaining Walls
Tree roots, slopes, and saturated soil make Lakewood retaining walls prone to failure. We use geogrid, drainage pipe, and washed rock to build long-term stability.
Artificial Turf
A clean, mud-free solution for Lakewood yards that stay wet most of the year. Installed with a full drainage base for pets and kids.
Outdoor Living
Fire pits, kitchens, seating areas, and covered zones tied into grade-corrected patios built for Lakewood’s terrain.

University Place Residents Asked
How long do hardscape projects take in Lakewood?
Most Lakewood paver patios, driveways, walkways, and retaining walls take about 5–7 days, depending on root removal, slope, and how much base preparation is required. Lakewood’s clay-heavy soil sometimes needs deeper excavation to keep surfaces stable.
Do you install paver patios and retaining walls during wet Lakewood weather?
Yes. We build year-round in Lakewood, using compaction methods and drainage-focused base layers that perform in saturated ground. Rain does not stop patio, driveway, or retaining wall installation.
How do you prevent sinking, shifting, or movement on University Place hillsides?
We stabilize UP slopes using geogrid reinforcement, deep base excavation, washed rock backfill, correct pitch, and pressure-relief drainage systems. These methods stop paver patios, driveways, and retaining walls from settling or sliding on University Place terrain.
What affects the cost of hardscaping in Lakewood?
Lakewood pricing is influenced by soil conditions, tree-root removal, excavation depth, drainage requirements, slope, and material choice. Clay soil and root pressure can require extra reinforcement to keep pavers and walls stable.
Do you handle permits for Lakewood retaining walls?
If a Lakewood retaining wall requires a permit—especially walls over 4 ft or walls supporting slopes—we manage the permitting process. Lakewood has specific guidelines related to grade changes and structural retaining wall design.
What types of materials are best for outdoor kitchens and fire pits near me?
We recommend durable, weather-resistant materials for the structure, such as natural stone or high-grade Bluestone for the counter surfaces and veneers. These are designed to resist the moisture and temperature shifts specific to the Tacoma weather.
Is artificial turf a good option for Lakewood yards?
Yes. Lakewood’s shade and moisture create constant mud. Our turf systems use a full drainage base that stays clean, drains fast, and handles pets and high foot traffic.
How do you prevent sinking or shifting in Lakewood yards?
We prevent movement by using deep base excavation, geogrid reinforcement, washed rock, root removal, and pressure-relief drainage. These steps keep paver patios, driveways, and retaining walls stable on Lakewood properties.
