Landscaping & hardscaping in Potomac
The Potomac patio in our gallery uses flagstone, seating walls, and a fire pit area to make one outdoor space. The seating is part of the stonework, so the patio is more than a paved surface. It has a place to gather built into its layout. If you are weighing a patio project, it helps to decide how much space you want for sitting before deciding how the paving should run.
Give the patio a place in the landscape
Our hardscaping service covers the built parts of a space like this. A patio also changes what happens around it: planting beds and the route into the garden need room in the plan. Our design and installation work can help you consider those parts together. The Potomac project shows the stonework; the planting around your own patio is a decision to make for your site.
Bring the practical questions first: where people will sit, which way they will enter, and what you still want to grow nearby.
Plan the slope and runoff together
When considering a patio or a new wall, ask where the water will run after the ground changes. For a property under county authority, retaining-wall review considers loads and placement as well as height. Our hardscaping and grading pages explain why those parts of a plan belong together.
If the project might use a rain garden or permeable paving, RainScapes describes qualifying practices; eligibility depends on the parcel and application. An association’s architectural rules, if the property has one, must be checked separately.

Cliff and his crew did an amazing job on my large and tired-looking yard — clearing away leaves and debris, mulching, and artfully re-defining long-neglected overgrown borders and beds. What a transformation!
