How we build
Four takes, every job, every time.
Every paver patio, deck, and retaining wall we build in the Lakes Area runs through the same four steps.
02
Scope
Materials, dimensions, drainage plan, and a fixed price. No moving targets between bid and build.
03
Build
Our own crew, every day on site. We film the base layer because that's the part nobody else shows you.

Walkthrough
Final scene: we walk the finished build with you, on camera, and hand over the warranty.
What we build
Six trades. One crew. Built for Michigan.
From custom decks and paver patios to decorative concrete, stone masonry, retaining walls, and custom landscaping — everything an outdoor space needs, built by one Walled Lake crew and engineered for Michigan freeze-thaw.
Deck Construction
Cedar, composite, and hardwood decks engineered on footings dug below the Michigan frost line — built to outlast the house they're bolted to.
View service →
Decorative Concrete
Stamped, colored, and exposed-aggregate concrete patios, walkways, and driveways poured on a proper base and pitched to drain.
View service →
Stone Masonry
Natural and manufactured stone walls, columns, fire pits, and seating built on proper footings with full mortar and drainage detail.
View service →
Brick Laying & Pavers
Brick and paver patios, driveways, and walkways set on a deep compacted base with polymeric joints and edge restraint that actually restrains.
View service →
Retaining Walls
Engineered retaining walls with geogrid reinforcement and drain tile behind every course — walls that hold the hill in February.
View service →
Custom Landscaping
Design-build landscaping that ties the hardscape together — grading, drainage, planting beds, mulch, and stone, planned as one outdoor space.

Selected work
Uncut, unstaged, still standing.
Recent paver patios, decks, fire features, and hardscape builds across Walled Lake, Commerce Township, and Oakland County.
The thing other contractors skip
Every patio fails for the same reason. We don’t.
Frost heave, settling, cracked joints — in Michigan it is almost always water. Water that was never given a path away from the build when the base went in, then froze and lifted everything above it.
We came up through our sister brand, Michigan Drainage Solutions (BBB A+, ten years in). That discipline ships with every patio, deck footing, and retaining wall we build across Walled Lake and Oakland County: footings below the 42-inch frost line, a pitched and compacted base, drain tile where it belongs, and edge restraint that actually restrains.
The camera doesn’t lie. We film the base layer so you can see the part that decides everything.
