We absolutely love our patio, pergola and landscape beds.

We recently had our patio redone by Legacy Custom Pavers. We had a two level part wood deck/part stone outdated patio that was not very usable. They came up with a great design to present and we were so thrilled with the process from start to finish! Robert was our contact person, and he was great to work with, prompt with appointments, knowledgeable, and had great follow-through! The pricing we received from Legacy compared to the other bids we received was very fair and even a little less than other competitors. We needed some stonework done to match an existing retaining and they have a stone mason crew that was able to handle our entire project. We had a slight delay due to structure of existing supports for our patio cover, and they handled it quickly and only charged us the cost that they paid with no markup and only delayed our project by a couple of days. They finished in their estimated time slot, which made us very happy! We could highly recommend Legacy Custom Pavers to anyone looking to do a paver project!

We worked with Brandon and the team at Legacy Custom Pavers to add walkways and patios to our outdoor living area. We also had them install some artificial grass in shaded area beneath a tree where we have been unable to grow grass. The walkways and patio look outstanding. And the artificial grass looks great and was a great solution. The team showed up when they said they would, got in, got the job done. We're very pleased.

My wife and I contracted Brandon and team at Legacy Custom Pavers to demo our old concrete patio, replace it with pavers, add a hot tub pad with pavers, and install artificial grass in our backyard. When compared to dealings with other contractors in the past, as well as our professional lives, Brandon was an absolute all star. He had prompt and clear communication throughout the entire process, excellent recommendations during the bid process that we did not receive from other companies, a competitive price, and his crew was quick, clean, and professional. We can't recommend Brandon enough and would happily use Legacy Custom Pavers again. Thank you Brandon!

TAKING YOUR LIFE OUTSIDE

SEATING WALLS: OFFERING MULTIPLE BENEFITS

Adding a seating wall to your residential or commercial landscape is often a smart choice with a multitude of benefits. These versatile structures combine comfort and functionality, transforming open spaces into inviting social hubs. Whether for residential patios, commercial courtyards, or public parks, seating walls offer cozy places to relax, gather, and enjoy the outdoors.

They define areas, provide seating without the need for additional furniture, and can be customized to match your landscape’s style. Moreover, they promote a sense of community, encouraging interaction and creating memorable spaces for events and gatherings. With their aesthetic appeal and practicality, seating walls are a valuable enhancement that fosters both comfort and connection in your outdoor environment.

DO YOU NEED A RETAINING WALL?

Here are the top 3 reasons our clients include retaining walls as part of their project.

Erosion Control: Retaining walls prevent soil erosion on sloped landscapes. They stabilize and secure the soil, especially in areas prone to runoff and heavy rainfall.

Improved Aesthetics: Retaining walls improve the visual look of your outdoor space. They can create terraced areas for landscaping and gardening, allowing you to showcase your property.

Functional Space: Retaining walls can transform steep or unusable terrain into usable, flat spaces. These new areas can serve as patios, seating areas, or play zones.

RETAINING WALLS – THE KEY DESIGN FACTORS TO KEEP IN MIND

When considering the installation of a retaining wall in your home’s landscape, several crucial design factors come into play to ensure both functionality and look.

Purpose and Load-Bearing Capacity: First, determine the primary purpose of your retaining wall. Is it to level a sloped area, create terraces, or add visual interest? The wall’s load-bearing capacity must align with its intended function.

Materials: Choose the right materials that complement your landscape design. Options range from natural stone and brick to concrete blocks, each offering a unique look and durability. The material should harmonize with the overall style of your property.

Height and Slope: Consider the wall’s height and the slope it’s retaining. Taller walls may require engineering and permitting, so consult local regulations. The slope and soil type influence the wall’s design and drainage requirements.

Drainage: Proper drainage is vital to prevent erosion and maintain the wall’s stability. Incorporate weep holes, drainage pipes, or gravel backfill to ensure efficient water management.

Curves and Terracing: Retaining walls can be curved or terraced to create visual interest and break up large expanses. These design elements add character to your landscape.

Color and Texture: Pay attention to the color and texture of the wall material. These aspects can complement your home’s façade and landscape features, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Professional Installation: This is where our expert team comes into the picture! Hire a skilled contractor like Legacy who is experienced in retaining wall construction to ensure structural integrity and adherence to local building codes.

Balancing these design factors will result in a retaining wall that not only serves its intended purpose but also adds visual appeal and harmony to your home landscape. It’s a thoughtful combination of form and function that contributes to the beauty and usability of your outdoor space.

We’d love to help you design the perfect paver walkway! Just reach out to our team.
