A larger masonry project can change the way an entire property is used. A patio can become an outdoor gathering space, a retaining wall can make a sloped section more manageable, and a redesigned entrance can create a completely different first impression. H&M Construction plans Berkeley Heights projects around the existing home, grade, access and surrounding outdoor areas so individual features work together instead of feeling disconnected.

Grade, Drainage & Elevation Matter Before the Pavers Go Down

Properties with changes in elevation often require more planning than simply selecting a paver or stone color. Patio elevations, retaining walls, masonry steps and surrounding grades all need to work together.

Surface water also needs a clear path. When a driveway, patio or walkway is changed, the pitch of the new hardscape and its relationship to the surrounding yard should be considered before construction begins.

Planning these elements together can create a cleaner finished layout while helping avoid awkward transitions between the home, hardscape and landscape.

Three Ways to Transform a Berkeley Heights Property

Backyard

Create a Complete Outdoor Living Area

Instead of installing only a small patio, a larger project can coordinate seating, dining, steps, walls and surrounding hardscape into one usable backyard layout.

Sloped Property

Retaining Walls & Better Transitions

Retaining walls and masonry steps can help organize changes in grade while creating more defined routes between different levels of the property.

Curb Appeal

Rebuild the Front Approach

New entrance steps, stonework, walkways and driveway details can update the most visible part of the home and tie the front exterior together.

Larger Hardscape Projects Need More Than Good-Looking Materials

01

Plan the Elevations

Patios, walls, steps and existing grades should be considered together before deciding where the finished surfaces will sit.

02

Build a Strong Base

Proper excavation, preparation and compaction beneath the visible materials are essential parts of long-term hardscape performance.

03

Manage the Transitions

Borders, steps, retaining walls and changes in surface elevation help determine whether the final project feels connected and finished.
