Hardscaping that adds depth to your landscape.
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits and concrete work for homes in Aldie, Leesburg, Chantilly and across Northern Virginia, planned around the way you use your yard.
Stone and structure, set to last.
Planting brings a property to life, but hardscape is what makes it usable: somewhere to sit, a dry path to the door, a slope held in place. It is also the part of a landscape that is hardest to redo, so it pays to get the base, the grade and the drainage right the first time.
Cardinal Ridge handles hardscaping as part of the whole property, not as a stand-alone slab. The same company that builds your patio can plant around it, light the path to it and keep the beds beside it looking sharp, so you are not coordinating three contractors.
If you have something specific in mind that is not listed here, call 703.728.3365. We will tell you plainly whether it is something we take on.
Six ways we put stone and concrete to work.
Patios
Flagstone, paver and stamped concrete patios sized for how you actually sit, cook and gather outside.
Walkways
Front walks, garden paths and steps that stay level and drain properly through freeze and thaw.
Retaining walls
Walls that hold a slope, create a level lawn or frame a raised bed, built on a proper base.
Fire pits
Built-in fire features that give a patio a centre and stretch the season into the fall.
Driveways
Concrete driveways and aprons, from excavation and stone base through the finished pour.
Concrete slabs and pads
Poured pads, slabs and footers for patios, sheds, garages and outbuildings.
Stonework and the beds around it.
Walk it, price it, put it in writing.

Asked before every build.
Do you install patios?
Yes. We build patios in flagstone, pavers and stamped concrete, along with the walkways, steps and walls that tie them into the rest of the yard.
Can you add a fire pit or seat wall to a patio we already have?
Usually, yes. We will look at the existing base and layout when we walk the property and tell you what it will take.
Do I need a retaining wall or just regrading?
It depends on the slope and where the water goes. We look at both on the site visit and recommend the simpler fix when it will do the job.
How does pricing work?
We walk the property with you, then follow up with a written estimate. Estimates and design consultations are free.
When should I start planning a spring project?
Fall and winter. Design-build calendars fill early, so starting the conversation before the new year gives you the best choice of dates.
Which areas do you serve?
We are based in Aldie and work across Loudoun and Fairfax Counties, including Leesburg, Ashburn, South Riding, Stone Ridge, Brambleton, Chantilly, Sterling and Centreville.
