Commercial Hardscape & Patio Installation in Charlotte, NC

From HOA common areas to restaurant patios — built to last, built to impress.

We don’t just build pretty patios — we build outdoor spaces that work as hard as you do. Here’s who trusts us with their commercial hardscaping:

Homeowners Associations (HOAs)

Common area patios, pool decks, gathering spaces, walkways. We’ve navigated more HOA approval processes than we can count (and we’re pretty good at counting).

Restaurants & Bars

Outdoor dining patios, covered seating areas, bar extensions. Because your customers want to eat under the stars, not under the weather.

Property Developers

Multi-unit residential hardscape packages, model home patios. Make your development the one everyone talks about.

Property Management Companies

Apartment complex amenity areas, courtyard hardscaping. Turn “just another apartment” into “I can’t believe I live here.”

Retail & Office

Building entrance hardscaping, parking lot islands, walkways. First impressions matter, and concrete says “we mean business.”

Event Venues

Permanent outdoor event spaces, fire pit areas, landscape lighting. Create Instagram-worthy moments for every event.

Who We Work With

Patio & Plaza Installation

Large-scale paver patio and plaza installations for commercial properties. Designed for high foot traffic with commercial-grade materials and proper drainage systems. Because your plaza shouldn’t turn into a pond every time it rains.

Retaining Walls

Engineered retaining walls for grading, erosion control, and aesthetic boundary definition on commercial lots. We handle larger grade changes than typical residential projects. Gravity is relentless, but so are we.

Outdoor Dining Areas (Restaurants & Venues)

Full outdoor dining patio buildouts: paver base, lighting, drainage, and optional pergola or shade structure coordination. Designed with ADA compliance considerations in mind. Your customers want ambiance, not puddles.

HOA Common Area Hardscaping

Pool decks, fire pit gathering areas, walkway systems, and seating plazas. Experience working within HOA approval processes and community aesthetic guidelines. We speak fluent “architectural review board.”

  • 10+ years of hardscape experience in the Charlotte metro
  • Fully insured — commercial liability and workers’ compensation
  • Experience with HOA approval workflows and architectural review boards
  • Project management from design through installation — single point of contact (no “that’s not my department” runaround)
  • 3D design previews available for commercial proposals and stakeholder presentations
  • References available from past commercial and multi-family clients

Step 1 — Site Assessment

We visit your property, assess the scope, and discuss your goals and budget. No hard sell, just straight talk about what’s possible.

Step 2 — Commercial Proposal & 3D Design

We provide a detailed written proposal and optional 3D design rendering for HOA boards, stakeholders, or planning committees. Show, don’t tell.

Step 3 — Scheduling & Project Management

We coordinate around your business operations to minimize disruption. Clear timelines and regular progress communication throughout. No surprises, no excuses.

Step 4 — Installation & Cleanup

Commercial-grade installation with full site cleanup on completion. We leave your property better than we found it.

Step 5 — Walkthrough 

Final walkthrough with your team. We stand behind what we build.
