Bare dirt in the East Valley turns to dust by June and to mud after the first monsoon storm. Hardscape gives the yard a surface you can walk, park and sit on, and it cuts down the square footage that needs water through a Sonoran Desert summer.
Good hardscaping in Chandler also fixes the grade. Most yards here sit on caliche and clay that drain slowly, so every patio, path and wall we build is pitched to move rain away from the foundation instead of letting it pool by the slab.

These are the six hardscape jobs we get asked about most around Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa. The material options and the rest of our hardscape services are listed further down the page.
Most backyards end up with two or three of these working together. A paver patio with a seat wall, a walkway out to the gate and a retaining wall to hold the grade is a very normal East Valley job.
Paver patios with room for a table, block seating or a kitchen island built right into the layout.
Walk it with us. We will point out what goes where and quote the pieces you want, all on one visit.
We come out, measure every surface you are thinking about, check the grade and the gate access, and put the whole hardscape on a single written quote. You can build it all at once or in phases.
Seeing the yard in person tells us things a drawing cannot, like where the downspouts empty, how hard the caliche is and whether a skid steer fits through the side yard. Those details shape the price, so we look before we write anything down.
The order matters. Grade and base come before anything you can see, because that is what keeps pavers flat and block walls standing straight.
Every hardscape project we run in Chandler follows the same sequence, from a single patio to a full backyard. Our own crew handles the demo, the grading and the build, so no step gets rushed to make room for the next contractor.
We look at the yard with you and talk it through.
Surfaces marked out, measured and priced in writing.
Old material out, dirt shaped so water drains away.
Base compacted, then pavers, concrete, stone or block.
Joints, edges and rock finished, site cleaned.
The other half is shade, privacy, light and green. We build those too, so the patio, the fence and the lighting all come from the same plan.
A pergola over the patio makes it usable on a July afternoon, and a block or wood fence finishes the edge of the yard. Artificial turf and desert plants soften all that stone and keep water use low.
There is no flat rate for hardscape. Every quote comes from the yard itself, and these four things carry most of the weight.
Two Chandler backyards of the same size can price far apart. An old slab that has to come out, a slope that needs a wall, or a patio with a fire pit and a grill island all change the total.
The size of the patio, path or drive is the starting point for every number.
Concrete, pavers, travertine and natural stone all price differently per foot.
Breaking out an old slab or moving a lot of dirt adds work before the build starts.
Block walls, fire pits and kitchen islands are priced as their own line items.

These are the questions we hear most from Chandler homeowners planning hardscape. They apply whether you want one patio or a full backyard with walls, paths and a fire pit.
Anything in the yard that is built rather than grown. Patios, walkways, driveways, walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, decorative rock and shade structures all fall under it.
Yes. Most of our full backyard jobs mix pavers or concrete with turf, plants, rock and irrigation, and we sequence the work so one step does not tear up another.
No. We can quote the whole yard and build it in phases. We set the grade and leave room for what comes later, so the first phase does not get torn out.
Yes. Along with homes, we build hardscape for HOA common areas, multifamily properties and business frontages. The site visit and written quote work the same way.
Every surface gets a slight slope away from the house, and we check where the runoff ends up before we set it. On yards with a real grade change, a retaining wall or a drainage path may be part of the plan.

Soil changes from one side of Maricopa County to the other, and so do HOA design rules. We check both on every job so your hardscape fits the lot and the neighborhood guidelines.
A typical backyard mixes two or three of these. We will talk through how each one looks next to your house and how it handles the sun.
Concrete pavers, natural travertine, poured concrete and decorative rock each have a place in an East Valley yard. The right mix depends on how you use the space, your budget and what your HOA allows.
Real yards from around the East Valley, photographed by our own crew. Ask about any of them when we visit.
You will see a paver patio, a charcoal paver driveway, travertine set into turf and a flagstone side yard path. All of them were built by CGL Landscaping crews.
CGL is a family owned company run out of Chandler. The people who grade your yard and set your pavers are our own crew, not a subcontractor brought in for the week.
That matters on hardscape, where most of the work ends up buried under the finished surface. The crew that compacts the base is the same crew that lays the stone on top of it.
