Frequently Asked Questions

How long does hardscaping installation usually take?

Most hardscaping projects in San Jose take between a few days to two weeks, depending on the scope of work, materials used, and site conditions. Retaining wall installation and outdoor kitchens typically require more time due to structural preparation and permitting when needed.

Do retaining walls help with drainage issues?

Yes. Retaining walls are a common backyard drainage solution when water runoff or soil movement is affecting your yard. Properly installed walls help control erosion and manage water flow, especially in sloped landscapes.

What materials do you use for patios and stonework?

We work with concrete pavers, natural stone, and Georgia stone depending on the look you want and the performance needed for your space. Material selection is based on durability, maintenance preferences, and design style.

Can hardscaping increase property value?

Professionally installed hardscaping improves usability, curb appeal, and overall landscaping design, which can positively impact property value—especially features like patios, retaining walls, and driveway paving.

Do you handle both landscaping and hardscaping?

Yes. As a full-service landscaping company in San Jose, we design and build hardscaping that integrates naturally with your lawn care, planting, mulching service, and overall landscape layout.
