Planning a hardscape in Lockbourne
If you have been collecting ideas for your Lockbourne yard, the next step is putting them in order. Which piece sets the elevations? Which one needs machine access? Which can wait a year? We help sort that out, then build each phase so the next one connects cleanly.
Many lots around Columbus are flatter than they look, and a few inches of fall across a backyard can be the difference between a patio that drains and one that holds a puddle. Ravine lots in older north-side neighborhoods and new subdivisions graded into hillsides both bring grade changes that call for retaining walls and steps rather than a steep slope of grass.
Use the form or call to start your Lockbourne hardscape estimate. A rough wish list is enough for now; the actual layout takes shape during the walk-through on your property.

Around Lockbourne
Near Lock Meadows Park and Big Walnut Creek, a yard in Lockbourne can be anything from dead flat to properly steep, and the plan changes with it. Every hardscape layout we draw there starts by reading the grade and drainage of your lot.
Pavers and segmental walls can go in through much of a Central Ohio winter whenever the ground is not frozen or saturated, which makes late fall a smart time to build a first phase.
Beyond Lockbourne, yards in Commercial Point, Obetz, Groveport and Grove City get the same approach: grade first, drainage second, then patios, walls and paths.

Questions
Lockbourne questions
Can my Lockbourne project be split into phases?
Yes. The whole yard gets planned first, then the first phase is built with tie-ins for the rest, so later work connects without tearing anything out. Each phase can carry its own estimate.
Do I need a permit for hardscaping in Lockbourne?
That depends on what you build and who governs your address. Tall retaining walls and driveway aprons are the usual triggers, while patios and paths come up less often; check with your city, village or township, and with your HOA if you have one.
What time of year is best for hardscaping in Lockbourne?
Pavers and walls can go in most of the year when the ground is not frozen or soaked, so spring, summer and fall all work, and mild winter stretches sometimes do too. Planning over the winter lets you start as soon as the ground allows.
Do you build hardscaping in Lockbourne?
Yes. Lockbourne is within the area we cover around Columbus, for paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, outdoor steps, fire pit areas and paver driveways. Send the details and we will call to schedule a walk-through.
How do I start a hardscape estimate in Lockbourne?
Call (614) 683-2123 or send the form with a short list of what you want in the yard and anything that bugs you about it now. The contractor will call back to go over the plan and pick a time to walk the property.
What does a hardscape project cost?
It is estimated piece by piece, then as a whole. Square footage of pavers, the height and length of walls, the number of steps and the amount of digging and base drive each part. Access, soil hauling and how much grade change the yard has affect all of them, and each phase can be priced on its own.
