View Driveways →Masonry projects become more connected when a property has changes in elevation. A retaining wall may define one level of the yard, while steps and walkways provide access between different areas. These features should be planned together so their elevations and transitions make sense.
Backyard patios can also be affected by the surrounding grade. The location of the patio, access from the home, nearby walls and drainage all influence how the finished outdoor area should be laid out.
H&M Construction evaluates these conditions before construction so new masonry can fit naturally with the existing property and surrounding landscape.
Before selecting the finished pavers or stone, it is important to evaluate the existing grades, drainage, access and neighboring surfaces. These conditions influence preparation, elevations and how different masonry features will connect.
For projects involving several exterior areas, planning walls, steps, patios and walkways together can create better transitions and a more consistent finished result.
