Walkways & Patios
Alden & Son has installed beautiful walkways and patios throughout Lake Norman, that have provided useful good looks for years. Due to its versatility, our most popular material for these is pavers. Pavers can be layed into any shape and fit any curve. It can have an aggregate stone finish or be made into any number of many different patterns: brick pavers, field stone, slate, or limestone. We have many options for colors like red, dark grey, black, beige, or any other natural stone-looking color. We have several ways to finish off to fit your liking
Porches & Decks
One other hardscape design that many people overlook is porches and decks. Not only do we install them, we can custom design them to fit your home and yard perfectly. We are very experienced with both treated wood and composite decking which is great for all season.
Steps
Another area where we can get creative and utilize otherwise unusable parts of your yard is by creating steps. Treated timbers, limestone slabs, and pre-formed retaining wall block can all be utilized to create safe, durable steps. Turn an elevation change from a slippery, grassy slope to a beautiful, safe, well-structured stairway.
Holding BACK - Retaining Walls
We’ve been building retaining walls around Lake Norman for many years as well. Retaining walls help hold back the earth allowing more flat ground for your practical use such as a patio, swimming pool, or driveway. Our most popular material is pre-cast decorative inter-locking block, which creates sturdy, reliable, and uniform walls. We also use treated timbers for retaining walls, and field stone boulders as well. Retaining walls give you more usable yard to enjoy.
