H&M Construction provides masonry and hardscaping services for Summit homeowners, with a strong focus on retaining walls, front entrances, masonry steps, patios, driveways and walkways. We also provide professional roofing services for Summit homes.
From structural retaining walls to curb-appeal improvements and backyard living areas, we build exterior features that work with the home's existing layout and elevations.
Retaining walls designed to manage elevation changes, support surrounding grades and create more organized outdoor spaces.

Explore Walkways →New and rebuilt masonry steps and landings for entrances and areas where changes in elevation require a durable transition.
Explore Masonry Steps →These genuine H&M Construction project photos show both the visible retaining-wall work and the preparation that takes place behind the finished wall.
This Summit project shows the retaining-wall structure during construction, before the surrounding area and finished details conceal much of the work that supports the final wall.
A curved wall can follow the shape of the property while creating a cleaner transition between changes in grade and surrounding outdoor areas.
A retaining wall is not only the block or stone visible after completion. This Summit project shows drainage pipe and filter fabric being installed behind the wall during construction. These hidden components are an important part of managing water behind the wall and preparing the structure before the final landscape is restored.
On a property with changing elevations, the height and location of a retaining wall can affect walkways, steps, patios and the surrounding landscape. That means the project needs to be considered as more than a decorative wall.
Water behind a retaining wall also needs somewhere to go. Drainage materials, the wall base and surrounding grades are important parts of the construction even though homeowners may never see them once the project is finished.
The same planning applies to driveways and patios. Surface pitch, existing elevations and transitions to the home should be considered before final pavers, asphalt or stone are installed.
H&M Construction also provides roofing services for Summit homeowners. From addressing an existing roof problem to planning a complete replacement, we can help determine the right approach for the home and connect you with a professional roofing solution.
Retaining walls and masonry steps can help organize elevation changes while creating more defined transitions between different parts of the property.
A coordinated entrance project can bring together masonry steps, stonework, walkways and driveway details to create a stronger first impression.
Patios can be designed around seating, dining, entertaining and surrounding masonry rather than functioning as a single isolated paved area.
Existing elevations influence wall height, steps, surrounding hardscape and how the finished property transitions from one level to another.
Base preparation, reinforcement and the material behind the wall are critical parts of retaining-wall construction.
Drainage pipe and appropriate back-wall preparation help manage water behind the retaining structure rather than relying only on the finished face of the wall.
