Build on Better Ground
Your Outdoor Space Should Be Easier to Use
Uneven ground, muddy areas, poor drainage, and unfinished outdoor spaces can make part of your property difficult to enjoy.
And when a patio, walkway, or concrete surface is installed without proper excavation, grading, or base preparation, problems can develop later.
Gradeworx looks at the entire site before installation—from soil and elevations to drainage and access—so the hardscape is built around the actual conditions of your property.
Whether you are creating a new patio or improving an unfinished area, Gradeworx can help prepare and build the space from the ground up.

What Our Customers Say
Outdoor Spaces Built to Last
"Justin and the team did an amazing job and worked around a pretty unforgiving rainy week. The patio we had was pretty old and breaking up. The new one they rebuilt is stronger, reinforced, wider, and has a really cool slate print and antiqued finish. We absolutely love it."
- Steve D
"From start to finish, Gradeworx made my patio project stress free and I am so happy! I've been in my home 20+ years and my backyard has always been an issue from no sun, no grass, fallen trees, and other construction obstacles. I can finally enjoy my backyard while relaxing on my patio and the fire pit at night.
Professional, thorough, attention to detail, and always communicated with me. Highly recommend!"
-Toni C
"Gradeworx did my front sidewalk and created a new sidewalk to my side garage door yesterday. Communication was good from the start. I got multiple estimates, Justin did a great job communicating with me what the plan was and when we had to do a modification he consulted with me before moving ahead. They worked with me to schedule around other contract work I was having done the next day. Really great guys, thanks Justin for taking care of our job!"

Every project starts with understanding the property and what you want the finished space to accomplish. Gradeworx plans the layout, prepares the ground, addresses grading and drainage, and completes the installation based on the conditions of the site.
From Groundwork to Finished Surface
Our Concrete & Hardscape Installation Process
1. Evaluate the Property
We review the project area, access, elevations, drainage, existing surfaces, surrounding structures, and how you plan to use the space.
2. We Prepare & Build the Site
The area is excavated and graded as needed before the base is prepared and the concrete, pavers, retaining walls, or other hardscape features are installed.
3. We Finish the Property
We complete the surrounding grading, transitions, cleanup, and applicable property restoration so the new feature fits into the surrounding site.
