Question 1

How much does a paver patio or hardscape project cost in Cornelius?

Accepted Answer

Most paver patio projects in Cornelius range from $8,000 to $35,000 depending on square footage, material choice, and site conditions like slope and drainage. Retaining walls run $30–$80 per linear foot, and outdoor kitchens start around $10,000 for a basic built-in setup. We provide a detailed written estimate at no charge before any work begins — no pressure, no obligation.

Question 2

Do you charge a fee just to come out and give an estimate?

Accepted Answer

No. Estimates are always free and there's no trip charge. We'll visit your property, assess the site, and walk through your options before providing a written price. You only pay when you decide to move forward with the project.

Question 3

How long does a typical landscaping or hardscape project take?

Accepted Answer

A paver patio typically takes 3–5 days for a standard-sized backyard. Larger hardscape projects or full landscape installations can run 1–3 weeks depending on scope. We give you a project timeline before we start and keep you updated if anything changes — weather delays included.

Question 4

Do you work on waterfront and sloped lots around Lake Norman?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's actually one of our specialties. We handle shoreline erosion control, sloped yard grading, drainage solutions for waterfront properties, and tiered retaining wall systems for steep lots. Lake Norman terrain is what we work on every week, so we know how to engineer for it correctly.

Question 5

Are you familiar with HOA landscaping requirements in Cornelius neighborhoods?

Accepted Answer

We work regularly in HOA communities including Antiquity, The Peninsula, Westmoreland, and Bailey's Glen, and we're familiar with the most common restrictions on plant height, hardscape materials, and structural additions. We'll flag anything that may require HOA approval before we begin so you're not caught off guard after installation.

Question 6

What happens if I'm not satisfied with the finished work?

Accepted Answer

We stand behind our work. If something isn't right, call us and we'll come back and address it — no runaround, no extra charge. We'd rather fix an issue than lose a customer, and we'd rather you refer us to your neighbor than have to leave a review about a problem that wasn't resolved.
