Yes, we're a design–build contractor handling all aspects of your outdoor space. We coordinate hardscaping (patios, walls, driveways) with landscaping (plantings, lawn, drainage) to create cohesive, beautiful results. Having one team manage everything ensures better integration, communication, and accountability.
We use proper base preparation (6–8 inches of compacted gravel), premium Unilock pavers designed for freeze–thaw cycles, and engineered drainage systems that prevent water buildup. Our installation methods follow manufacturer specifications and account for Illinois soil conditions.
Most residential patios and walkways don't require permits in Oak Lawn. Retaining walls over 4 feet, structures with roofs, and some drainage work may need permits. HOA approval requirements vary by community. We help navigate permit processes and know local requirements.
Absolutely. We remove existing concrete, prepare a proper base, and install new paver systems. This transforms dated concrete into beautiful, durable outdoor spaces. We can also build over concrete in some situations if it's in good condition, though full removal usually provides better long-term results.
