Project Case Study: Backyard Renovation in Beverly Hills

The Problem: Near Coldwater Canyon, a homeowner had an old, cracked concrete patio. Rainwater pooled against the exterior house wall after winter storms. Shifting clay soil had caused sunken spots and tripping hazards.

The Solution: Our team demolished the broken slab and excavated weak dirt. Laser grading directed surface runoff safely away from the foundation. Thick lifts of crushed gravel were compacted with a plate tamper. Masons laid durable concrete pavers with a neat border trim. A low stone seat wall was built along the garden bed.

The Result: Storm runoff now drains smoothly without any standing puddles. The finished paver patio stays dry, level, and safe all year. Family members enjoy outdoor dining in total comfort. This complete backyard build wrapped up in eleven working days.

Our Process

How the Work Moves

Every project follows four clear steps.

  1. 1

    Site visit and measure

    Site technicians check yard slope, soil firmness, and exact dimensions. Clear yard notes and photos shape the build plan.

  2. 2

    Design plan and written quote

    Homeowners receive a clear layout plan and a written price quote. Every cost is outlined upfront with zero surprise fees.

  3. 3

    Dig, grade, and pack the base

    Excavators dig out weak soil down to solid subgrade. Crushed base rock is spread in lifts and packed tight with plate compactors.

  4. 4

    Lay stone, cut edges, and seal

    Masons set pavers along guided string lines for a true finish. Diamond saws cut edges clean before workers sweep and seal the joints.

Laser leveling verifies ground slope before surface stones go down. Checking the grade stops storm water from puddling near the home. Most patio installations finish in one to three weeks. Total timeline depends on yard size, site access, and rain. Experienced hardscape contractors keep homeowners updated at every step.

Straight Talk

Our Method vs. the Old Way

Bids can look different. Here is a fair look.

Comparison of professional hardscape installation and basic installation
Feature Professional Hardscape Installation Basic Installation
Base Preparation Compacted Gravel Base Varies
Drainage Planning Included May Vary
Surface Leveling Laser Checked Basic Checking
Long-Term Stability Designed for Settlement Control Varies

Discount bids often cut corners on excavation and gravel depth. When soft dirt settles, thin pavers sink, tilt, and crack. Qualified hardscape contractors build on a deep, compacted stone foundation. Investing in proper base work gives you a patio that lasts for decades.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do hardscape contractors do?

Hardscape contractors build solid outdoor features instead of planting lawns. Crews work with pavers, natural stone, brick, and concrete. They construct patios, retaining walls, fire pits, steps, and driveways. These stone structures help you make the best use of yard space.

What does a paver patio cost in Los Angeles?

Most paver patios cost between $18 and $40 per square foot. A typical backyard patio of 300 square feet often runs $7,000 to $12,000. Total pricing reflects your chosen paving stone and dig depth. Ground slope and site access also influence the final cost.

How long will my hardscape project take?

Standard walkways take two to four days to dig, lay, and sweep. Larger patios with seat walls or fire pits take two to three weeks. Work speed depends on city permits, supply deliveries, and weather.

How do I pick trustworthy hardscape contractors near me?

Always verify active state licensing, bonding, and liability insurance before hiring. Homeowners can verify credentials on the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) site in seconds. Reliable hardscape contractors gladly share license papers upfront. RGD Concrete Services INC holds active CSLB license #994700, serving Los Angeles on time.

Which stone holds up best in this climate?

Dense concrete pavers and natural flagstone work best across Southern California. Guidelines from the ICPI group show how pavers flex without cracking when soil moves. Applying a clear sealer protects stone surfaces from sun rays and grease stains.

Can you build around my existing pool?

Yes, crews often build new decks and coping around existing swimming pools. Masons set pavers flush with the pool beam for safe footing and clean sightlines. During your design visit, technicians bring stone samples to match your pool tile and yard theme.
