"In October of 2023 Nicolas Hardscape and Drainage installed patio and walk way pavers. Last week I noticed pavers at the steps of the front door and pavers at a step by th garage had settled below the pavers next to them. Nicolas and his team repaired both issues at no charge. He honored his warranty and because of this I would highly recommend Nicolas and his team to friends."

"Not really a "brick, stone or block wall - install" but it's the closest I could get with the list. Ripped out 30+ year old brick island at the front of our subdivision, installed a new concrete version & filled with topsoil. The job came in at or under the price quoted & we are very happy with it. I was very impressed with Adrian in regard to his work ethic, desire to please a customer, knowledge, scheduling & ability to get the work done. "

"I used Gardens of the Carolinas to completely re-landscape my front yard. I needed to replace my driveway, so I decided it was a good time to do new landscaping. In my opinion, you will not find a better company than “Gardens of the Carolinas” to do a landscaping project. John and his crew are the best! Always on time with attention to details I would have never thought of. They first regraded my lot to achieve better drainage and installed a catch basin to direct water to drain pipes they installed. Next came the new driveway and a curving walkway to my front porch. They also redid the brick steps to my front porch making them wider and reducing the rise to accommodate aging-in-place, which was a secondary goal. New porch railings were also built. They also transplanted some existing azaleas to another location in the yard and installed many new perennials. New sod was also installed. All of this along with many other smaller tasks (cleaning up some beds, unclogging an existing drainage pipe, building a side retaining wall, etc. ) made for a great experience. John is a great communicator. He will talk you through concerns you might have and is extremely knowledgeable on anything involving landscaping and horticulture. His entire crew is extremely professional and take a lot of pride in their work. So glad to have worked with them!"

Every project is done with care and attention to detail at an affordable price, on time. What more can you ask for? I will continue to work with them again and again and recommend them highly"

At 1OAK, we don’t just stack rocks. We understand that the difference between a "yard" and an "outdoor living space" isn't just materials, it’s vision. And the biggest obstacle between you and that vision has always been uncertainty. What will it look like? Can I trust the price?\n\nWe fixed that. \n\nCall us today to get a complimentary estimate.

"We love our stone steps installed by Alan with Lemonade Landscaping! They function perfectly and such an improvement over the previous steps that were broken and shallow. Alan communicated well and promptly and the pricing was beyond fair! He is personable and caring. We would definitely recommend this company for your landscaping needs!!"

"Jon Hutchins and his crew did a great job. Communication was excellent. Jon and Mark took their time to explain every step and answer all of my questions. They were very punctual, professional and did a great job. I look forward to hiring them again next fall to help me with aeration and routine maintenance. I would recommend Hutchins Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance to friends and family without reservation."

FAQs for brick and stone patios, walks, and steps installation projects in Durham, NC

When cleaning your flagstone patio, begin by gently hosing off loose dirt and debris. Use a mild solution of white vinegar and water or diluted dish soap to scrub the surface with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using abrasive tools, such as wire brushes, as they can damage the stone’s seal and finish. This careful approach effectively removes mold and grime while preserving the natural beauty of your patio.

Flagstone naturally offers a neutral palette that includes shades of grey, black, red, yellow, brown, and tan, and its inherent color cannot be altered. Choosing varieties like bluestone provides a subtle bluish tint that complements many exterior designs. These natural hues enhance curb appeal and create a refined, timeless look in your outdoor space, ensuring a sophisticated finish with minimal upkeep.

Flagstone for a patio must have a minimum thickness of 1.5 inches to reliably support furniture and foot traffic. Using stone that is two to three inches thick is recommended to ensure lasting durability. The increased thickness prevents cracking under load and enhances long-term performance. Investing in thicker flagstone provides superior stability and resistance to weather conditions, ensuring your outdoor space remains both safe and attractive.

You can paint a flagstone patio by using a high-quality, outdoor elastomeric latex paint designed for heavy foot traffic. Painting not only refreshes the patio’s appearance but also creates a waterproof barrier that protects the stone from damage. Regular reapplication every one to two years maintains its durability and visual appeal, ensuring your patio remains both stylish and well-protected.
