With Gaia Landscape's professional hardscaping services, that vision becomes reality. We specialize in retaining walls that solve erosion problems while adding architectural interest, custom paver patios that create stunning outdoor living spaces, concrete work built to withstand Reno's freeze-thaw cycles, backyard putting greens for golf enthusiasts, and premium turf installation that looks great year-round. As part of a locally owned family of businesses that's been building in Reno since 2017, we understand Nevada's unique terrain, soil conditions, and climate challenges that impact hardscape longevity. We work with you throughout the process of material choices, drainage requirements, and maintenance needs. Unlike contractors who simply install what you request and disappear, we bring superior attention to detail to every project, ensuring proper base preparation, correct grading, and quality craftsmanship that lasts for decades.

Professional Hardscape Features Built for Reno

Our comprehensive hardscaping services include custom retaining wall construction using natural stone, concrete block, or timber materials designed to handle Nevada's soil conditions and prevent erosion on sloped properties. We install patio pavers in countless patterns and colors, creating outdoor living spaces that enhance your home's architecture and provide durable surfaces for entertaining. We specialize in backyard putting green installation using professional-grade artificial turf that provides realistic roll and consistent performance for serious golfers. Our turf installation services include both synthetic lawns for water conservation and natural grass installation with proper base preparation and irrigation. We handle complete site preparation including excavation, base material installation, proper compaction, drainage solutions, and precise grading to ensure water moves away from structures. All installations incorporate superior attention to detail in measurements, level surfaces, and finished edges that distinguish professional work from amateur installations.

The Gaia Landscape Hardscaping Advantage

When you choose Gaia Landscape for hardscaping and outdoor features, you're partnering with a locally-owned business that treats your property like our own. We respond quickly to inquiries—you'll hear back the same day or next business day with honest assessments and realistic timelines. Our team educates you throughout the process, explaining why proper base preparation matters, how drainage impacts longevity, and what maintenance your specific materials require. As part of a family of businesses building in Reno since 2017, we bring proven construction expertise to every hardscape project, understanding Reno's challenging conditions, including expansive soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and extreme temperature variations. Our superior attention to detail means we don't rush installations—we take the time to properly compact base materials, achieve precise grades, and create finished edges that look professionally installed. Most importantly, we stand behind our work with ongoing support, answering questions long after project completion and offering maintenance services that protect your hardscape investment for years to come.

Why Professional Hardscaping Matters in Reno

Reno's challenging climate and soil conditions don't forgive amateur hardscape installations. With expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry, freeze-thaw cycles that can heave improperly installed pavers, and extreme temperature variations that stress materials, hardscaping here requires specific knowledge and techniques. Properties with DIY or poorly installed hardscaping face expensive problems within just a few years—settling pavers creating trip hazards, cracked concrete from inadequate base preparation, retaining walls failing because they weren't built for Nevada's soil conditions, and drainage issues causing water damage to homes.



Professional hardscaping designed and installed specifically for Reno's conditions prevents these problems while creating outdoor spaces that enhance property values and provide decades of enjoyment.

Our Hardscaping Services

Retaining Wall Construction

We design and build retaining walls that solve erosion problems, create usable terraces on sloped properties, and add architectural interest to landscapes. Whether you need a short decorative wall or a tall structural wall requiring engineering, our retaining wall contractor services handle projects of all sizes. We work with natural stone, concrete block, timber, and other materials suited to your aesthetic preferences and site conditions. Every retaining wall includes proper base preparation, drainage solutions to prevent hydrostatic pressure, and construction techniques proven to perform in Nevada's challenging soils.

Paver Patios and Walkways

Transform outdoor spaces with beautiful patio pavers that create inviting areas for entertaining, dining, or relaxing. We install pavers in countless patterns—herringbone, running bond, circular, random—using high-quality materials that withstand Reno's freeze-thaw cycles. Our paver installations include proper excavation, compacted base materials, edge restraints, and polymeric sand that prevents weed growth and insect infiltration. Whether you want a small sitting area or an extensive outdoor living space, we deliver professional installations built to last.

Backyard Putting Green Installation

Golf enthusiasts throughout Reno trust us for professional putting green installation using premium artificial turf designed specifically for golf applications. We create custom greens with realistic contours, multiple pin positions, fringe areas, and professional-grade turf that provides true roll and consistent ball response. Every putting green includes proper base construction, precise grading for realistic breaks, and drainage solutions that prevent water pooling.

Turf Installation

We install both synthetic turf for water conservation and low maintenance, plus natural grass lawns with proper soil preparation and irrigation. Our artificial turf installations use high-quality products designed for Nevada's intense UV exposure and temperature extremes, installed over properly drained bases that prevent settling and ensure long-term performance.

FAQs About Our Hardscaping & Outdoor Features

  • How long does a typical hardscaping project take from design to completion?

    Simple paver walkways take 3-5 days, while comprehensive backyard transformations with retaining walls, patios, and putting greens typically require 2-4 weeks. Very large projects can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide realistic timelines during design after assessing your project. The timeline includes design approval (1-2 weeks), material ordering, site preparation, base installation, material installation, and finishing. Weather significantly impacts schedules—we avoid concrete work during freezing and may delay during heavy rain. We keep you informed about progress and any adjustments. Our goal is delivering quality that lasts decades, not rushing to completion.

  • Can you work with my existing landscape, or do hardscaping projects require complete renovation?

    We regularly integrate new hardscaping into existing landscapes without complete renovation. Many clients want to add a paver patio to existing lawn, build retaining walls for specific drainage issues, or install a putting green in one section while keeping the rest unchanged. We assess how new hardscaping integrates with existing features and develop designs that complement what you're keeping. Our design mockups show how new elements will look alongside existing landscape. We protect existing plants and irrigation during construction. Some projects benefit from phased approaches—installing a patio this year, retaining wall next year. We develop master plans while breaking implementation into manageable phases.
