Every spring, we see the same pattern. The weather warms up, people start spending time outside, and suddenly everyone wants a new patio or wall. By late April, our schedule fills up fast. Homeowners who planned ahead in March are enjoying their new outdoor spaces by Memorial Day. Those who waited are often looking at late summer or fall installation dates.
In March, you have options. Want a specific week? We can probably make it work. By June, we're booking out months in advance. Early planning means you pick the timing that works for your life, not whatever opening happens to be available.
A hardscape project involves choices: paver style, color, pattern, wall block type, layout, add-ons like fire pits or built-in seating. When you're not rushing, you can visit suppliers, look at samples in different lighting, and make decisions you'll be happy with for years.
Popular paver colors and wall block styles can sell out or have extended lead times during peak season. Planning early means your first choice is still in stock. We've had customers fall in love with a specific Techo-Bloc paver only to find it's back-ordered until August. Starting early avoids that disappointment.
Some projects require permits, especially larger retaining walls. Municipalities in the South Hills have varying turnaround times. Starting the process in early spring gives buffer time for any back-and-forth without delaying your project.
We visit your property, discuss your vision, assess the site conditions, and talk through options. This is free and no-obligation. We'll point out things you might not have considered: drainage needs, grade changes, access for equipment, utility locations.
Based on our conversation, we put together a detailed proposal. You'll know exactly what's included, what materials we're using, and what the investment looks like. For complex projects, we can provide layout drawings.
Once you're ready to move forward, we lock in your spot on our calendar and order materials. We'll coordinate any required permits and handle logistics so installation day goes smoothly.
Our crew shows up with equipment, materials are delivered, and we get to work. Most patio projects wrap up in a few days. Larger walls or combined projects may take longer. Either way, you're not waiting around wondering when we'll show up.
Spring is ideal for almost any outdoor hardscape project:
