Absolutely. Erosion on slopes is a common issue here. Our masonry and concrete services include building retaining walls, patios, and drainage solutions that stabilize soil and redirect water flow. Furthermore, installing an outdoor fireplace or fire pit with a proper stone or concrete base can become a focal point that also helps manage runoff and prevent further erosion in your landscaping.

Yes, we handle both issues. First, our masonry team can assess and repair or replace your damaged concrete patio or walkway, often using techniques that allow for future root growth without damage. Secondly, if you're using an old wood-burning fireplace, we can convert it to a modern gas insert. This eliminates the need to store firewood on the ground near tree roots, reducing moisture and potential pest issues that harm your trees and lawn.

Great question. Before any gas fireplace installation or conversion, a thorough inspection of your existing chimney and flue is crucial for safety—a core part of our service. This holistic view allows us to plan the project efficiently. While our fireplace experts work indoors, our landscaping team can simultaneously address exterior drainage issues. We can ensure the new gas line route and exterior venting are integrated with regrading or adding drains to protect your new system and solve water problems at the same time.
