Our Work
Recent Western NC Projects
Retaining walls, paver patios, stone steps and planting for Marion homes and Lake James properties. We build for foothill slopes, mountain runoff and long views.
Marion is about 20 miles west of our Morganton base on I-40, at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Between the hills around town and the shoreline at Lake James, most projects here start with a slope.
We build engineered retaining walls that hold a hillside and create level space for patios, parking and lawn, with steps that tie the levels together.
Lake lots call for walls and patios that respect the grade and the view. We terrace down toward the water and keep sight lines open.
Water comes off the hills quickly here. Gravel backfill, drain pipe and proper grading are built into every wall and patio so the work lasts.
One crew for the whole project, from the first 3D drawing to the last plant in the ground.
Patios, walkways and pool decks on a deep compacted base, in pavers from Belgard, Unilock and Techo-Bloc.
Engineered block and natural stone walls with drainage built in, from garden walls to multi-tier systems.
Built-in grills, counters and bar seating in stone and block, designed around how you cook and host.
See your project in a realistic 3D model before we build, so the layout and materials are settled up front.
Trees, shrubs, beds and mulch chosen for Western NC conditions and installed to thrive.
Fire pits, seat walls, stone steps and lighting that finish the space and make it usable after dark.
Yes. Marion is about 20 miles west of Morganton on I-40, and we work throughout McDowell County, including the Lake James area. Site visits and quotes are free. We also work in nearby communities such as Nebo, Glenwood and Pleasant Gardens.
Yes. Lake James projects are some of our favorites. We build terraced retaining walls, stone steps and paver patios designed around the slope and the view. Shoreline work can involve extra rules, so we review the lot with you and flag anything that needs approval first.
It depends on size, materials and how much site preparation the lot needs. Segmental block retaining walls typically run $25 to $50 per square foot installed, and natural stone runs higher.

Yes. Our 3D design service shows your patio, walls, kitchen and planting on your actual property before construction starts, so you can adjust the layout and materials while changes are still easy.
