Paver Patios – Concrete paver patios are our specialty. Landscape Elements is fastidious in base preparation, compaction, fitment and finish. We are certified CMHA (Concrete Masonry Hardscape Association) paver installers.
Paver Driveways - We pay particular attention to depth and percentage of base compaction and edge restraint suitable for vehicular traffic.
Paver Sidewalks- Whether brick, concrete paver, or stone, meandering or arrow straight, you will not find a more meticulous attention to detail than with us. Our sidewalks are practical, easy to maintain and beautiful!
Retaining walls - In order to make our walls last a lifetime, we pay special attention to drainage, foundation, and preparation. We build everything from short garden walls to engineered, structural retaining walls. We build over compacted gravel foundations, backfilled with drainage gravel, and fabric, to keep soil from washing through, as well as allowing water to pass through. Larger walls will also have perforated drainpipes and outlets.
Flagstone Patios – If you want the everlasting quality of natural stone, we install irregular and cut stone patios and sidewalks.
Brick Paver Patios – Here in Williamsburg, we have built several “old-style” sidewalks and patios using clay paving bricks, similar to those old sidewalks in Colonial Williamsburg. More common and durable for the 21st century, we use brick “pavers” which are actually made of concrete. They are available in many colors, shapes, textures, and sizes. They are extremely durable and can be used for driveways, as well as patios and sidewalks.
Stacked Stone Walls – Natural stone walls may be free-standing, two-sided decorative walls, or retaining walls constructed from a variety of types of stone. Stones can be thick, thin, or mixed. Walls can be dry stacked but usually are mortared in place to add strength and longevity. The same techniques for drainage are used as in retaining walls above.
Stairs & Steps– We construct stairs and steps from manmade stone, natural stone, retaining wall blocks, and treated wooden timbers.
Stone veneer is a decorative facing material that is not meant to be load-bearing. It is usually applied over other building materials, to blend in with existing landscape elements of your home, such as a flagstone patio. These are usually applied over a reinforced concrete block wall, with a capstone, or retaining walls.
Landscape Lighting – Lighting can add a whole new dimension to your landscape and home. Whether lighting a walk for safety or accenting a dramatic tree, lighting is another area where the artist's touch from Landscape Elements shines. The new technology available in lighting is brighter, longer lasting, and an impressive addition to any property.
Plant Design – Landscape Elements brings many years of experience, as well as artistic and practical design capabilities. The best designs have come about through careful listening to customer preferences during an interview process. We stress proper garden bed preparation and plant choice for plantings that thrive.
Drainage & Grading – We pay particular attention to both these issues when working on any property. We offer full-service grading for new properties or renovating older ones, and we have solved problem areas for many properties. We also install drainpipes for gutters and infiltration (or “French”) drains.
