Frequently Asked Questions
What sets your hardscape construction apart, especially for driveways and retaining walls?
Our founder, Ray Moran, holds specialized certifications in segmented paving and wall construction from the ICPI and the National Concrete Masonry Association. This means we follow industry-best practices for proper base preparation, drainage, and installation techniques. For Parkesburg-area homes, this results in driveways and retaining walls that are not only visually appealing but are built to withstand our local freeze-thaw cycles and soil conditions, preventing shifting and cracking over time.
We have overgrown shrubs and poor drainage in our yard here in Parkesburg. Can you help?
Absolutely. Overgrown plantings and improper grading are common issues we address. As a Certified Arborist and Pennsylvania Certified Horticulturalist, Ray can properly assess and prune or replace overgrown shrubs to improve health and appearance. For drainage problems, we use our landscape construction and design expertise to regrade lawns and install functional yet attractive solutions like permeable walkways, proper patio slopes, or integrated irrigation systems to direct water away from your home's foundation.
Do you handle both the design and installation of outdoor lighting and irrigation?
Yes, we provide a complete service. Our design services cover the planning of efficient irrigation systems and aesthetic outdoor lighting layouts tailored to your property. Then, our licensed team handles the full construction and installation, including electrical work for fixtures and trenching for irrigation lines. This seamless approach, from concept to finished product, ensures all systems work together correctly with your new landscaping or hardscaping for a cohesive and functional outdoor space.
