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.

Using Belgard Antiqued Dublin Cobble artisan pavers in a small 3-stone pattern, this 1400 sq ft driveway was completed to include an ancillary 200 sq ft semicircle pathway bordering the existing perennial garden. 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.

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. 

Many of us in WNC compromise our  navigation of our outdoor properties by walking up and down embankments to access different parts of the yard or property. This custom staircase used Brown Crab Orchard Slabs as treads and Tennessee Boulders for up and downhill bank retention, creating a beautiful connection for their easy access between upper and lower yards.

This walkway and stoop were initially concrete and tile, respectively. The concrete sidewalk was partially removed and re-poured to accomplish appropriate level and grade and the tile stoop was also covered with a base slab for this custom mortared project which used locally-sourced Hooper's Creek Stone. The end product is a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing experience of coming home and welcoming guests. 

This walkway and stoop were initially poorly constructed, unlevel 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. 

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.

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.

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. 

This 14 x 18 potholed gravel driveway was transformed into a clean, even walkable driveway and welcoming finished entranceway to the home. Combined with a natural fieldstone walkway leading to the front porch, it allows the clients a firm, clean path to and around their entire property. 

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. 

The entranceway to this home was completely redone with the construction of a dry-laid pathway using Crab Orchard Jamestown slabs and dimensional stepping stones surrounded by riverstone.

The clean and modern style of this home in Woodfin, was accommodated using Gray Crab Orchard and tumbled Pennsylvania Bluestone to construct a winding staircase connecting their upper yard to their lower porch. 

The gravel entranceway to this home was completely redone with the construction of a dry-laid pathway using Black Regency slate and deeply set cobblestone borders.

The entranceway to this home was completely redone with the construction of a dry-laid pathway using Crab Orchard Gray slabs and a mortared patio using a thinner option of the same type of stone.

11,000 sq ft gravel parking lot included removal of sod, regrading, and installation of ballast substrate, ABCM structural surface and final surfacing with pea gravel.
