Landscaping & Hardscaping in Cranberry Township
Patios, retaining walls, pool installation, and full landscape renovations for Cranberry Township and Mars, one crew, one contract.
Everything your property needs
One crew handles the ground, the stone, and the water.
These photos are from a real Cranberry Township build, a fire pit patio, an outdoor kitchen, a hillside wall, and a cobblestone walkway, all one job. That's the model for every property we take on here: landscaping, hardscaping, pools, and walls designed together instead of handed off between contractors.
Everything we build in Cranberry Township
Five trades, one crew, one contract.
Hardscaping, pools, retaining walls, outdoor living, and excavation, all handled in-house. We also handle full-yard landscaping: planting beds, mulch, and grading, alongside the specialties below.
Hardscaping & Paver Patios
Patios, walkways, and driveways built for this climate.
The base you never see is the patio that holds up through ten winters.
Every patio and walkway starts with a compacted aggregate base engineered to the correct depth for the frost line. Drainage is designed alongside the hardscape, not worked around after the pavers are down, and materials are selected for freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and Cranberry Township's clay-heavy soils.
Pool Installation
The pool, the deck, and the yard around it. One contract.
A hole in the ground is not a backyard.
Fiberglass and vinyl liner pools with the deck, walls, and landscaping designed together, one company from dig day to final landscaping, typically 4 to 8 weeks. Read our pool installation guide or the Western PA pool cost breakdown before you commit to anything. Pool retaining walls are part of the job too: estimate wall costs with the retaining wall calculator.
Retaining Walls
Walls built to last in Western PA soil.
Block Retaining Walls
Segmental block, engineered drainage, geogrid reinforcement, and a compacted aggregate base under every course. Built to hold structural grade, not just look like it does.
Tiered Wall Systems
Multi-level terraced walls that turn a steep hillside into usable yard, set with proper setback engineering between each tier.
Garden & Sitting Walls
Freestanding garden walls, seat walls around a patio, and decorative borders that define a bed without the structural load of a full retaining system.
Base prep first, block second.
- Every wall starts with engineering: soil load, hydrostatic pressure, and surcharge calculated before setting a block.
- Drainage behind the wall is non-negotiable. Perforated pipe, drainage aggregate, and filter fabric on every structural wall we build, over a compacted crushed limestone base leveled to spec.
- Use the retaining wall price calculator for a ballpark before your consultation.
Outdoor Living
Rooms outside, built to run all season.
The best room in the house is the one without a roof.
Stone fireplace, outdoor kitchen
Outdoor Kitchens
Built-in grills, stone countertops, and storage set into the patio, not added on afterward.
Fire Pits & Fireplaces
Custom stone fire pits and fireplaces that keep the patio in use through fall and into winter.
Pergolas & Shade Structures
Cedar and vinyl pergolas and pavilions that define the outdoor room and take the edge off a July afternoon.
Integrated with your existing hardscaping and landscaping, one crew handles everything from excavation and footers through stonework and final plantings.
Excavation & Grading
Site work built to spec.
01
Excavation
Foundations, pools, driveways, and utility trenching for residential and new construction sites across Cranberry Township.
02
Grading & Drainage
French drains, swales, and stormwater management, graded to spec and checked with laser levels before we move on.
03
Land Clearing
Tree removal, brush clearing, stump grinding, and debris hauling to open a lot for construction or landscaping.
We own and operate our excavators, skid steers, and grading equipment: no renting, no waiting on a third-party operator. Our retaining wall and concrete crews work in tandem with excavation, keeping the timeline and budget tight.
