Custom Hardscaping Built Around Your Property

Every property is different. Elevation, drainage, soil conditions, access, existing landscaping, and the way you plan to use your outdoor space can all affect how a hardscape project should be designed and constructed.

That's why CGR takes a project-focused approach rather than simply installing materials.

Our team can handle the site preparation, grading, excavation, drainage considerations, base preparation, hardscape installation, and finishing required to create a complete outdoor space.

Create an Outdoor Space You'll Actually Use

A custom paver patio can become the centerpiece of your backyard.

Whether you're looking for a comfortable space for family gatherings, an area for an outdoor fire pit, a place to entertain guests, or the foundation for a complete outdoor kitchen, CGR can design and install a paver patio around your property and lifestyle.

Our paver patio projects can include:

  • Soldier-course and border designs

We pay particular attention to the preparation beneath the patio because a beautiful paver installation starts with a properly prepared foundation.

From smaller patios to complete outdoor entertaining areas, CGR can build a space designed around how you want to enjoy your backyard.

Add Usable Space, Control Elevation & Enhance Your Landscape

A retaining wall can completely change the functionality of a property.

Sloped or uneven yards can make it difficult to create usable outdoor living space. Properly designed retaining walls can help manage elevation changes, create additional usable areas, define landscape beds, improve the appearance of your property, and address certain erosion and grading challenges.

CGR provides professional retaining wall installation and replacement throughout Metro Atlanta and North Georgia.

Our retaining wall services include:

  • Landscape retaining walls

  • Structural retaining walls

  • Modular block walls

  • Natural stone walls

  • Garden walls

  • Terraced retaining walls

  • Retaining wall replacement

  • Wall demolition and reconstruction

  • Drainage behind retaining walls

  • Backfill

  • Grading

  • Reinforcement and geogrid when appropriate

  • Integration with patios, walkways and steps

The appropriate construction method depends on the wall, height, site conditions, soil, drainage, loads, and other project-specific factors.

CGR evaluates the property and builds the project around those conditions rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

More Than a Patio

Sometimes the best outdoor space requires more than one hardscape element.

CGR can combine paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, lighting, grading, drainage and landscaping into one coordinated project.

Imagine stepping into a backyard that includes:

A custom paver patio.

A built-in fire pit.

A beautiful retaining wall.

Stone or paver walkways.

Landscape lighting.

An outdoor kitchen.

And a properly graded, functional yard.

That's the type of transformation CGR can help create.

We don't just look at one feature. We look at how the entire outdoor space can work together.

Build It Right From the Ground Up

Water is one of the most important considerations when planning many hardscape projects.

Poor drainage can contribute to erosion, standing water, soil movement, and problems around patios and retaining walls.

Because CGR also specializes in grading and drainage, we can consider water flow and elevation as part of the overall project.

Depending on the property, hardscape projects may incorporate:

  • Surface drainage

  • Channel drains

  • Catch basins

  • French drains

  • Downspout drainage

  • Drainage pipe

  • Flow wells

  • Proper grading

  • Retaining wall drainage

  • Water-flow management

Addressing these conditions during construction can help create a more functional outdoor space and reduce problems caused by uncontrolled water.
