Landscape Project Portfolio

"Alan was extremely thorough, responsive and engaged in the design and implementation of our project. I appreciated that I could always address work or changes with him without any difficulty. Classic Nursery is a seasonal nursery and company that can tackle anything. Don is a fabulous resource and he knows his stuff and can easily teach/convey the info to me. Pauline is helpful and friendly. We appreciated the hard work of the crew, even when I asked them to move a plant! Thank you!"

More patios, walls & steps, etc.

We build patios, walls, steps and planting terraces from a wide variety of materials such as boulder stone, ledge stone, flagstone, tumbled pavers, modular wall block, pressure-treated wood and concrete. Regardless of the type of material you are thinking about, we will make it work to fit your budget and integrate well with the architecture of your home.

Services Provided:

  • Flagstone

    You can choose from a wide variety of flat stone paving or flagstone.

    We most often use Montana slate, but also work frequently with flat granite, Wilkinson stone, tumbled slate, and a host of other types.

    Usually set in a crushed rock base covered with compacted sand, the stone can also be mortared, custom cut, and fit against other styles of paving for a more eccentric look.

  • Patios

    We do a lot of patios. Keep in mind that you may need a slightly bigger space than you think to set a four-person table where you can still move your chair back without stepping onto the adjacent lawn or bed area.

    First you determine the shape and then you choose the materials. We'll give you a catalog showing stone selections as well as other types of paving to help you choose. You can also visit our sample library in Redmond for more information.

    Add pots and a few Adirondack chairs and...well, suffice it to say that we have to look at the size carefully.

  • Rock Steps

    These simple rock steps, made up of fitted small boulders, are one of the longest-lasting and most cost-effective ways to make steps. We can also make them from flagstone and other types of rock.

  • Raised garden beds

  • Masonry
