Expert hardscape installation that increases your property value and creates outdoor spaces you’ll actually use.
You want an outdoor area that looks great and functions properly for years to come. That means proper drainage so water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling around your patio. It means materials that can handle North Carolina’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or shifting.
When hardscaping is done right, you get low-maintenance outdoor living spaces that add real value to your property. Your patio becomes the place where family gathers for dinner. Your walkways guide visitors safely to your door. Your retaining walls solve drainage problems while creating usable space on sloped lots.
The difference between a hardscape project that lasts and one that fails comes down to foundation work you can’t see. Proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage systems aren’t glamorous, but they’re what keep your investment looking good and functioning properly for decades.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been serving Lakewood and surrounding areas with professional hardscaping services. We understand the soil conditions, drainage challenges, and weather patterns that affect hardscape installations in this area.
Our team handles both residential and commercial hardscape projects. Whether you need a backyard patio for family gatherings or a commercial walkway that handles heavy foot traffic, we use the same attention to detail and proper installation techniques.
We’re a locally-owned S Corporation, which means we’re invested in this community and accountable to our neighbors. When you work with us, you’re working with contractors who will be here to stand behind our work.
Every hardscape project starts with understanding what you want to accomplish and assessing your property’s specific conditions. We look at drainage patterns, soil composition, and how the new hardscape will integrate with existing structures.
Next comes the design phase where we create a plan that balances your vision with practical considerations like proper slopes for drainage and material choices that make sense for your budget and maintenance preferences. We explain what we’re recommending and why.
The installation begins with excavation and base preparation – the foundation work that determines whether your hardscape will last. We install proper drainage systems, compact base materials to the right specifications, and use techniques that account for seasonal ground movement. Only then do we install the visible materials like pavers, stone, or concrete.

Our hardscaping services cover everything from simple walkways to complex outdoor living spaces. We install patios, driveways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and decorative walls using materials like natural stone, pavers, and stamped concrete.
For residential clients, we focus on creating functional outdoor spaces that match your lifestyle and property. This might mean a patio that connects to your kitchen for easy entertaining, or retaining walls that create level planting areas on a sloped lot.
Commercial hardscaping requires different considerations – higher traffic loads, ADA compliance, and materials that maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance. We work with property managers and business owners to create hardscapes that enhance their properties while meeting practical requirements for safety and durability.
