Proper Base And Compaction
We install a multi-layer base with compacted gravel and sand. This prevents shifting, supports weight, and extends the life of your patio.

A well-built patio starts below the surface. NC Hardscape & Design combines expert paver patio design with proper site preparation services, grading services, and compaction so your patio stays level through heavy rain and seasonal changes.
We design each project around your yard’s slope, drainage, and layout. Many homes in Hickory and nearby areas need landscape grading before installation, especially on sloped lots in Mountain View or Viewmont.
