Functional & Beautiful Hardscapes Built to Last

We install a wide variety of hardscape features tailored to your property’s needs and your design goals. Our offerings include patios, walkways, retaining walls, garden borders, stone steps, outdoor seating walls, and full outdoor living areas. Whether you're building a quiet backyard patio or need a multi-tiered hardscape layout for a sloped property, our team can plan and install it with precision and expertise. We work with both natural and manufactured materials to match your aesthetic and budget, ensuring every structure is built on a solid foundation with proper drainage. Hardscapes aren’t just about looks—they shape how you use your outdoor space and how well your property manages water and erosion. Our team has been installing hardscapes across Northern Virginia since 1987, and we bring that deep experience to every project. Whatever you need, we’ll help you design, build, and enjoy it for years to come.

We work with a broad range of materials to meet your specific project goals, style preferences, and site conditions. Common materials include natural flagstone, manufactured pavers, concrete block, river jack stone, brick, and hybrid options that blend aesthetics with cost efficiency. Flagstone is a popular choice for patios and walkways due to its natural texture and timeless look. Pavers offer consistent sizing, design flexibility, and come in a variety of colors. Concrete blocks are often used for retaining walls and steps, while river jack stones add a natural, decorative finish along edges or beds. We help you choose the right material based on your intended use, maintenance expectations, and surrounding landscape. Each material we use is selected not only for its appearance but also for its durability and performance. We also ensure proper compaction and drainage beneath every installation to make sure your investment stands the test of time.

Yes—drainage is a critical part of every hardscape installation. Without proper planning, even a beautiful patio or wall can lead to pooling water, erosion, or structural failure. At ProDrainage, we assess the grade of your property and the flow of water to ensure the hardscape will manage runoff safely. We incorporate slope into patios and walkways to guide water away from structures. In many cases, we install French drains, gravel beds, or dry creek systems nearby to support drainage. For retaining walls, we include weep holes and backfill layers that prevent pressure buildup from trapped water. Our hardscapes are designed as part of your property’s overall drainage system—not separate from it. This approach protects your investment and ensures your yard functions properly during heavy storms or winter thaw. Whether we’re building a small garden wall or a large flagstone patio, we build it to last—and that starts with smart water management.

The timeline for hardscape installation depends on the size and complexity of the project; however, most standard installations are completed within 2 to 7 days. A small walkway or garden border might take just one to two days, while a multi-tiered retaining wall or large patio could take a full week or more. The installation process typically includes site preparation (such as excavation and grading), building a stable base, laying materials, and completing finishing touches like joint filling or sealant application. We also account for weather delays and drying time, especially if drainage components are involved. Before we begin, we provide a clear schedule and keep you updated throughout the process. Our crews work efficiently and respectfully—minimizing disruption to your daily routine and leaving your yard clean and usable when we're done. With decades of experience, we know how to stay on schedule without cutting corners.

Our goal is to enhance your yard—not damage it. While all hardscape installations involve some site disruption, we take steps to protect your lawn and landscape throughout the process. We use compact, low-impact equipment and plan material staging to minimize traffic across grass or planting beds. If necessary, we’ll install temporary boards or barriers to protect nearby vegetation and minimize soil compaction. Our crew maintains a clean and organized job site, and we consistently remove debris at the project's completion. Once the installation is complete, we restore the area with fresh topsoil, seed, mulch, or sod, as necessary. We’re also happy to recommend landscape restoration options that complement your new hardscape. Clients often tell us they’re surprised by how neat the process is and how little disruption they experienced. With ProDrainage, you can expect expert installation with the respect your property deserves—before, during, and after construction.
