H&M Construction approaches each project around the existing property, taking into account access, grades, drainage and how the finished masonry will connect with the home and surrounding outdoor space.

View Driveways →Outdoor spaces tend to work better when their individual features are planned together. A patio may connect to the house through masonry steps, while walkways can provide transitions between entrances, seating areas and other parts of the yard.
Grade changes can also influence the design. Walls, steps and appropriate slopes may be needed to create practical transitions while helping water move appropriately around new masonry surfaces.
H&M Construction handles both focused masonry replacements and larger Montclair hardscaping projects where several outdoor areas are improved as part of one overall plan.
Before construction begins, the project area should be evaluated for existing grades, drainage, access and neighboring surfaces. These conditions can affect the base preparation, elevations and final layout of patios, walkways, driveways, walls and steps.
When several improvements are planned, considering them together can help create more natural transitions. The goal is for the finished masonry to function as part of the property rather than as a collection of unrelated surfaces.
This Montclair backyard project combines a large paver patio with a circular fire-pit area, contrasting borders, masonry walls and connecting steps to create a coordinated outdoor gathering space.
The patio uses a combination of light and dark pavers to define the main surface and create a circular feature around the masonry fire pit.
Stone-faced walls and connecting masonry elements help tie the patio into the surrounding yard and house, creating a more complete backyard hardscaping project.
