Hardscaping That Survives Tacoma’s Rain & Slopes:
Our Engineering-First Approach
Tacoma homeowners investing in their forever home know that Northwest winters and the unique, steep, glacial till soil demand more than just pretty pavers. We are ND Brick Pavers, and we specialize in engineering hardscape solutions that survive the relentless PNW rain. We don't build projects that will sink or pool water in three years; we build structural integrity using soil science first. We guarantee a lasting, functional outdoor living space, built exclusively by our accountable, in-house crew—never subcontractors.

Hardscaping Services for the Tacoma Homeowner
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 & Driveways for Longevity
For many Tacoma properties, a patio or driveway is a significant investment that needs to withstand constant moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. We focus on proper sub-base preparation—the foundation—to prevent sinking and shifting, a common failure point in the glacial till soil of North Tacoma. We offer high-quality materials like Bluestone and Travertine, installed with specialized perimeter restraints and superior joint sand to ensure your surface remains perfectly level for decades.
Structural Retaining Walls for Tacoma's Sloped Yards
The steep grades and erosion issues common in neighborhoods like the Stadium District require retaining walls that are structurally engineered, not just decorative. Our walls are designed to manage water runoff and soil pressure using proper compaction, drainage rock, and geo-grid reinforcement. This prevents costly failures and provides a safe, level terrace for your outdoor living spaces.
Artificial Turf for Muddy or Steep Areas
Stop fighting the moss and mud that plagues shaded Tacoma backyards. Our pet-friendly, high-drainage artificial turf systems provide a lush green look year-round without the mowing or watering. We install a specialized crushed rock base that ensures pet odors and rainwater flush through immediately, keeping your yard usable 365 days a year.
Custom Outdoor Living Spaces (Kitchens & Fire Pits)
Extend your living area with a custom outdoor kitchen or fire feature built to handle the PNW climate. We design integrated lighting, comfortable seating walls, and durable countertops that turn your Tacoma backyard into a true resort-style gathering space, ready for entertaining rain or shine. This is a high-impact investment that maximizes your home’s usable space.

Tacoma Residents Asked
How long does a typical Tacoma project take?
Typical projects range from 5 days out to a few weeks, obviously depending on the size and the scope of the Tacoma hardscaping project.
What is the estimated cost range for a full outdoor living project in the area?
A comprehensive structural outdoor living project, including the patio base, fire features, and kitchen elements, typically ranges from $17,000 to $35,000. Final cost depends on the choice of materials and the complexity of the features and site preparation.
How do you ensure my outdoor living space will last in Northwestern Washinton's wet climate?
Our process begins with a Soil Science First approach. We engineer the paver patio foundation to manage drainage and prevent settling, a critical step for long-lasting results in the PNW.
Do you offer financing options for outdoor kitchen and fire pit projects?
Currently no, we dont offer flexible financing to homeowners upgrade their outdoor area. Please inquire during your consultation to discuss some current options.
Do you handle permits in Tacoma?
Yes, depending on your specific location generally permanent structures like outdoor kitchens with utility lines (gas/electric) and structural patio covers often require permits in Tacoma. We manage all necessary permitting as part of our design and build process.
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.
Where in the South Sound do you provide outdoor living services?
We serve the entire South Sound. Our service area includes our primary hub in Tacoma, as well as University Place, Gig Harbor, Puyallup, Lakewood, and Federal Way.
Can you integrate a patio cover or pergola into an existing paver patio?
Yes, we can integrate new structural elements like patio covers and pergolas into existing, stable paver foundations. We ensure proper footings and drainage before starting the structural work to guarantee stability.
How do you handle drainage on steep Tacoma lots?
That's what makes ND Brick Pavers special. We've been doing this for 19+ years and have yet to come across a Tacoma property we couldn't build on. Ask us any specific questions you have about our process, we'll be happy to tell you.
