Custom Driveways
Custom Paver Driveway, North Asheville
Using Belgard Cambridge Cobble artisan pavers in a 2-stone pattern, this extensive 4,000 sq ft driveway involved demolition of deteriorating asphalt driveway and haul off of asphalt and 10 inches of excavated dirt underneath. Quality high drainage construction involved installation of 2" base of stone ballast, 4" of washed 3/4 stone, then installation of biaxial geogrid for long term stabilization. #78 pea gravel was used as the bedding layer for pavers. Surface edging was completed with ExtremeEdge mortar which was bedded into the geogrid to hold entire structure tight to last the ages.

The project involved demolition of chip and seal driveway and precise grading of depression in side yard to build up substrate for the path. Quality high drainage construction involved installation of 2" base of stone ballast, 4" of washed 3/4 stone, then installation of biaxial geogrid for long term stabilization. #78 pea gravel was used as the bedding layer for pavers.

The combination of clean, even-surfaced Crab Orchard slabs which were custom cut and chiseled for the patio contrast nicely with the more natural rough finish of the surrounding Tennessee Sandstone retention boulders and steppers.

Custom Stone Staircase with Stem Walls, Weaverville, NC
Using a combination of Carolina Chocolate Gray and locally quarried Hooper's Creek Gray stone, this custom staircase was made leading from the back of a home in Weaverville up to the upper road behind their house. Though incorporating stem walls into a staircase adds to the cost significantly, it improves the function and exponentially improves the aesthetic of the overall project.
Custom Stone Staircase, Alexander
Many of us in WNC compromise the navigation of our outdoor properties by walking up and down embankments to access different parts of the yard or property.

This project involved repouring concrete for the walkway and veneering the existing concrete patio/stoop with locally-quarried Hooper's Creek flagstone and veneer.
Custom Walkway, Weaverville
This walkway and stoop were initially poorly constructed, un-level chunks of small fieldstone laid on bare dirt. The 500 sq ft project involved demoing the. existing path, excavating a contiguous 42" wide pathway and constructing the new tightly jointed Jamestown natural stone surface on a well-packed substrate of #57 gravel with a 1" pea gravel bedding layer.
Stone Retaining Wall Terraces, Weaverville
This once useless embankment was split up into three terraces using mid-sized Tennessee Sandstone Boulders to construct three custom retaining walls, allowing the client new space to plant flowers and a finished, beautiful look to the side yard.
Stone Retaining Wall, Weaverville
This custom dry-laid retaining wall was made in an arched style using onsite stone as well as Carolina Chocolate Gray and Hooper's Creek Gray.
Entrance Walkway, Alexander

Class II RipRap Drainage Ditch, Weaverville
This client had experienced years of rainwater problems as his community in Weaverville continued to expand and his culvert was increasingly inundated with dramatic water flows every time there was a heavy rain. While many drainage contractors would have band aided the problem by installing only Class B riprap, we provided a permanent solution with Class II riprap boulders to mediate the Class B and resist the torrential flows, keeping the ditch and bank in shape for many decades to come.

Boulder Retaining Wall, Asheville, NC
This new-build required extensive drainage management and retention for the house pad in North Asheville. The owner was on a tight budget and so we used quarried granite rather than stone-yard boulders. The result is organic and rustic, but quickly compliments the landscape and is constructed to last the ages.
