Hardscaping & Patio Design in Tempe, AZ

Paver patios, borders and block walls built to sit level and stay level — Tempe, Maricopa County.

The truck says Hardscaping & Patio Design, and in a city of small lots that is where a good part of the yard budget goes. When there is not much ground to work with, the hard surfaces are the ones people actually stand on, sit at and look at every day. We build patios, paver areas, borders and seat walls — and the part that decides whether it still looks right in five years is the part you cannot see afterward: base compacted properly, slope set to carry water away from the house, edges restrained so the pavers do not creep apart at the corners.

Patios & Block Walls in Tempe

A Tempe backyard usually has a wall on two or three sides and something already built to tie into — an old slab, a step, a gate that still has to swing. Fitting a patio into that is measuring work before it is building work, and the measuring happens on site, with the yard in front of us.

Landlocked since the 1990s, so nearly every yard is an old one being redone rather than a new one being built
ASU rentals turn over in a two-week window every summer, and landlords need cleanups and quick lawn fixes on that clock
Lots are small, so hardscape and rock do more of the work than grass does

Questions about patios & block walls in Tempe

Our backyard is tiny. Is a patio even worth doing?

A small yard is where hardscape earns the most, because the space gets used every single day and there is not enough of it to give over to grass nobody walks on.

Will the pavers stay flat, or do they sink over time?

That comes down to the base and the edge restraint far more than to the pavers themselves. Settling and spreading are what make an old patio look old, so that is where the attention goes while it is being built.
