Raleigh patios and outdoor stone

Creating beautiful hardscapes since 1996. Paver and stone patios, walkways, fire pits and retaining walls, built on a properly graded base so they last the test of time.

The studio

Landscape is a US landscape architecture studio working on civic ground, campuses and river corridors. We survey soil, water and light before we draw, specify regional native planting, and stay on site through five years of establishment.

How we work

We survey the ground before we draw a line

Most landscapes fail for reasons that were visible on day one: the wrong soil, water arriving faster than the design assumed, a maintenance load nobody costed. We start with measurement, so the drawing answers the site rather than the mood board.

Read our approach
  • PassionA family passion for stone structures, handed from father to son.
  • TrustA reputable local company, family owned and working in Raleigh.
  • CommitmentA generational commitment to quality on every job we take.

Landscapes that are measured, not just planted

Measured outcomes

Every project leaves with a monitoring plan, and we report against it annually. That means gallons retained, acres under stewardship, survival rates at year three — numbers a board can read.

It also means we find out when something is not working while there is still time to fix it. Establishment is the part of a landscape most studios are not there for.
