Backyard paver patio and seat wall

  • Carmel, IN
  • 2026
  • Patios
  • Seat wall
  • Grading

The old concrete slab had cracked and tilted toward the back door. We took it out, dug down to firm clay, built up eight inches of compacted gravel, and laid a paver patio pitched away from the house. A curved seat wall on the low side holds the grade and gives them a place to sit by the fire pit.

Sound familiar?

  • The plants looked good the first summer and were dead by the third.

    We choose plants for your sun and soil, set them at the right depth, and leave you a watering plan.

  • The patio sank and heaved after a couple of winters.

    We spend the time on the base. It's dug to firm ground, built in layers and compacted.

  • The quote was one line and a number.

    Your proposal lists the plants, materials and quantities, so you know what you're paying for.

  • The mowing crew showed up whenever, or didn't.

    You get a regular day, and a text when rain pushes it.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the yard

    Call (317) 555-0149 or send a request. Tell us what you want to change, what's bugging you about the yard now, and roughly what you'd like to spend.

  2. We walk the property

    We meet you on site, measure, check the sun, soil and drainage, and listen to how you want to use the space.

  3. You get a written proposal

    A plan, a list of plants and materials, the price and a timeline, all in writing. We adjust it until it's right, and nothing starts until you say go.

  4. We build it and walk it with you

    We have the utilities marked before we dig. The crew builds to the plan, cleans up each day, and walks the finished job with you, with care notes for everything new.

Nora spent an hour in the yard before drawing anything, and the proposal listed every plant by name. The shady bed where nothing ever lived is finally full.

Our old patio held puddles for days. I watched how much gravel went under the new one and now I get why it's dead flat. Water runs right off the edge.
Tom B.Zionsville
Every Thursday, edges are clean, and they text if rain pushes it back. I haven't touched my mower since May.
Priyanka S.Fishers
One serviceberry didn't make it through the first winter. They replaced it in April without me having to ask twice.
Doug H.Westfield
The side yard used to send water straight at the foundation. They buried the downspouts and regraded it. The basement wall has been dry for two years.

How pricing works

Design-and-build projects like patios, walls and plantings are priced from a site visit and a written proposal, so the number fits your yard and not an average one. Maintenance such as mowing, cleanups and bed care is priced per visit or per season, and you'll know the rate before the first visit.

Questions people ask

Don't see yours? Call (317) 555-0149.

What does a landscaping project cost?

It depends on the size, the materials and how much digging the site needs, so we don't guess over the phone. After a site visit you get a written proposal with the price broken out by area. If the number needs to come down, we'll show you what to change or what can wait for a later phase.

How long will my project take?

A planting job is often a few days. A patio or wall usually runs one to three weeks, depending on size and weather. Your proposal includes a timeline, and we'll tell you how far out we're booking before you sign.

Do I need a permit?

Planting and most patios don't need one. Taller retaining walls, work near a property line or wetland, and anything tied into a storm drain often do, and some neighborhoods have their own rules. We check what Carmel requires and handle the paperwork when a permit is needed.

Will my yard be torn up while you work?

Some of it, for a while. We plan access so machines stay on one path, protect the lawn and driveway where we cross them, and clean up at the end of each day. Any lawn we disturb is graded and seeded or sodded before we call the job done.

Can we do the project in phases?

Yes, and it's often the smart way to do it. We draw the whole plan first so the phases fit together, then build in an order that won't have us tearing up finished work. Patios, walls and grading go first. Planting and lighting come after.

Tell us about your yard.

Send a few details and we'll get back to you. If it can't wait, call.
