Canonsburg, PA

Where our hardscape work goes deepest.

Canonsburg homes lean on us for retaining wall installation, paver patios, and full-property landscape design. The hillsides through Washington County demand engineered walls and proper drainage, this is exactly the work we built our reputation on.

Versa-Lok Retaining Wall & New-Construction Landscape

Retaining Wall Lawn Installation Plants & Boulders

A long Versa-Lok wall opened up the usable footprint of this Canonsburg lot. We brought in over 100 tons of soil for the lawn installation and planting beds, then finished with boulders and ornamental plantings.

“I can't say enough about Quinten & Andrew of Q&A Landscaping. I am impressed with the professional, hardworking team they have built along with the creative solutions they suggested. Our project was completed sooner than anticipated and the final invoice amount was right on the estimate. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of landscaping services.”

Patrick M. · Canonsburg

“Their timeliness and execution throughout was seamless. After getting two other estimates, they won our business.”

Upper St. Clair, PA

Polished hardscape, drainage that holds.

Upper St. Clair properties tend to be larger, with mature trees, sloped lots, and existing structure worth respecting. Our work here ranges from exposed-aggregate patios to French drain installations, putting greens, and stone steps that follow the land.

Outcropping Walls Exposed Aggregate Patio

We removed the existing patio and excavated further back to expand the usable backyard. Rosetta Outcropping walls and matching irregular steps lead up to a new putting green, finished with a generous exposed aggregate patio and full planting.

“Great company. They did an absolutely beautiful job on our back yard. We had extensive work done. Q&A installed a new patio, walls and landscaping. Impressed by the owners. They are young and energetic. Always return calls and texts. Can't say enough.”

Jefferson Hills · South Park

Where Q&A started.

Quinten and Anthony cut their teeth on properties in Jefferson Hills and South Park. Sixteen years and over two hundred five-star reviews later, this is still where the crew knows every cul-de-sac, every soil type, every borough stormwater rule. When you hire us here, you're hiring the place we still call home.

Storm water management system and brick patio at a historic home in South Park

Project

Stormwater Management System & Historic Home Patio

Drainage Brick Patio Stacked Stone Walls

A 65' × 15' stone detention sump captures every downspout on this historic property, letting water leach slowly back into the soil instead of rushing onto Route 88. We also rebuilt multiple stacked-stone retaining walls and laid a new brick patio. See drainage solutions.

“We can't say enough about Quinten, Anthony and the whole gang at Q&A. They show up on time every time and get the job done as promised, as priced and on time. THIS COMPANY FAR, FAR EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS ON ALL LEVELS.”

Stu A. · South Park

“The whole team is incredibly hardworking, talented and friendly. Our neighbors even commented on how nice these guys are.”

Bethel Park, PA

Permeable patios, Versa-Lok walls, stormwater compliance.

Bethel Park's borough stormwater regulations mean every patio we build here is engineered for permeability. We've poured exposed-aggregate, set Techo-Bloc walkways, installed Versa-Lok terraces, and managed the drainage paperwork alongside it.

A Versa-Lok wall along the hillside opened up this tight backyard. We installed a Techo-Bloc patio and walkway designed to comply with Bethel Park's storm water regulations, every drop that falls is captured by a drain built into the base.

“From start to finish, Q&A (Q, QUINTEN, and A, Anthony) provided us with an amazing experience and ultimately, an amazing new space. After getting two other estimates from other companies, they won our business.”

Stream bank restoration with boulders and raised flagstone patio in Bethel Park

Project

Stream Bank Restoration & Raised Flagstone Patio

Boulders Flagstone Patio Excavation

We lined a small creek with structural boulders and built a raised flagstone patio overlooking the restored bank, a tough site that needed both engineering and a designer's eye.

“These guys were great! Our project turned out exactly the way that we wanted it to. Their price was more than fair and they were professional, efficient, and very easy to work with.”

William R. · Bethel Park

Peters Township, PA

Lawn installs, plantings, hardscape that ties it all together.

Peters Township projects often blend full lawn installation with planting design and stone features. New construction or property refresh, we approach both the same way: soil first, structure next, plants on top.

We turned a maintenance-heavy back hill into a planted bed and stripped the front lawn for a fresh topsoil, seed, and manure install, setting up years of low-maintenance health.

“We couldn't be more pleased with the landscaping services of Q&A. The team helped me make decisions on plants that were easy to maintain and look beautiful. I will definitely be working with Q&A for future needs.”

Mt. Lebanon, PA

Tight-access wall work, done right.

Mt. Lebanon's older streets and tight lots mean we get the calls other crews walked away from. Permits, neighbor coordination, equipment access through other properties, we handle it.

Versa-Lok Wall Steps Permits

Multiple other contractors had bailed on this collapsing wall. We secured the permits, hauled every piece of material through the property above, and built a Versa-Lok wall and steps that opened up the upper backyard. Calculate your retaining wall cost.

“Our family had lived with a collapsing and hard-to-access backyard retaining wall for years. Q&A Landscaping eagerly tackled our difficult wall, made sure everything was done properly, and made the process look easy from start to finish.”

Nicole M. · Mt. Lebanon

“I scoped out new driveway contractors over the past few years, but when I found out Q&A does driveway replacement, my search halted.”
