Our Work
Recent Western NC Projects
Retaining walls, stone steps, paver patios and planting for Old Fort homes and mountain cabins. We build for steep wooded lots, creek-side ground and serious mountain rain.
Old Fort is about 30 miles west of our Morganton base on I-40, right where the Blue Ridge begins to climb. Lots here are steep, wooded and shaped by water, and our work is planned around all three.
Access is often tight and the grade is real. We use compact equipment and build tiered walls and steps that create level space without clearing more than we need to.
Rain runs off the mountain fast. We design drainage first, with gravel backfill, drain pipe and stone-lined swales that carry water away from the house and the wall.
Natural stone, boulders and earth-tone block suit the setting. We match materials to the home so new work looks like it has always been there.
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. Old Fort is about 30 miles west of Morganton on I-40, and we work throughout McDowell County. Site visits and quotes are free. We also work in nearby communities such as Marion and Black Mountain.
Yes. Erosion control is one of the main reasons people call us. A properly drained retaining wall, combined with grading, stone and the right plants, holds the slope and gives the water somewhere to go. We look at the whole hillside, not just the spot that is washing out.
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.
