There’s nothing like kicking back on a stone patio after work, or roasting marshmallows with friends by a backyard fire pit. That’s the kind of comfort Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds can bring. At Premier Grounds Contracting Ltd., we’ve helped turn lots of plain backyards into spaces people actually want to hang out in.
What is Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds?
Hardscaping covers everything that’s not plants—think walkways, patios, fences, decks, and even full-on outdoor kitchens. When we say Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds, we’re talking about jobs like setting down paving stones, pouring pads, and building stuff like retaining walls, pergolas, decks, and rubber-paved areas. It’s the mix of function and style that turns outdoor space into a living space.
We handle all types of Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds—from multi-level patios to outdoor lighting setups or concrete work. We design around what your yard needs and what you want out of it. Our crew works across Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and surrounding cities—we know the area, the climate, and what lasts.
Why Invest in Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds?
Not long ago in Maple Ridge, we teamed up with a family who wanted their yard to feel like part of their home—not just grass and trees, but a place to cook, relax, and enjoy their mornings. We put in a stone patio with a fire pit and added a sturdy new deck. Now they spend most weekends and free nights outside. It really changed the way they use their space.
And yeah, Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds look great—but they do more than that. They bump up your curb appeal and your home’s value. Plus, things like concrete and stone need way less upkeep than grass. No cutting, no watering, and they hold up for years.

What to Expect When Hiring for Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds
Wondering how long it all takes? Tiny projects—like a quick path—might just take a day. Bigger ones, like a big patio with decking and a retaining wall, can go for a few weeks. It depends on how complex the build is, the weather, and how fast we get permits if needed.
Most folks plan Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds between spring and early fall, but we also do projects different times of year. You’ll get a full breakdown on when we can start, how things move along, and if we need to adjust the schedule mid-job.
For some things—like tall fences, walls, or decks—a building permit’s needed. We take care of figuring that out. We’ve worked with city rules all over Coquitlam, Port Moody, and nearby spots, so we’ll help with what’s needed for your job.
How Much Do Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds Cost?
The price can swing depending on the size and features. A basic walkway might start at a few thousand dollars. Something like a bigger deck with lighting, rubber paving, or a retaining wall usually costs more than $10K. The materials you pick—like stone, wood, concrete, or rubber—also change the final cost.

Tips for Preserving Your Hardscape
If you want your Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds to stay solid for ages, a bit of maintenance goes a long way. Things to keep an eye on:
- Use the right sealant every few years on concrete and stone to keep them looking good.
- Make sure water drains off and doesn’t pool on surfaces—keeps things from breaking down.
- Check your retaining walls now and then for cracking or shifting after rough weather.
- Sweep patios and paths to stop dirt and moss from building up and making it slippery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds
How long does a typical hardscaping project last?
If the work’s done properly and kept up, your hardscaping could stay strong for 20+ years—especially concrete and stone patios.
What is the best material for patios and walkways?
Concrete and natural stone are top picks. They last long and look good. Rubber’s nice too if you want something soft and strong.
Do I need a permit for outdoor builds?
A lot of projects do—things like fences over a certain height, decks, or retaining walls. We check what’s required and help get them sorted out.
When is the best time for hardscaping projects?
Most folks like April to October—less rain and better ground. But we’ll book builds any time the weather lets us keep things rolling.
How much does a hardscaping project cost?
Depends how big the job is. Small jobs start at a few grand. Bigger outdoor builds with features and lighting can be way more. Your best bet is to call for a quote based on your yard.
Can hardscaping increase my home’s value?
Yep, most of the time. Solid Hardscaping & Outdoor Builds give your place a polished look that buyers really like.
What maintenance do hardscaping features require?
Just basic stuff—clear drains, scrub buildup, seal stuff every few years, and you’re set.
Can you combine hardscaping with soft landscaping?
Of course. Mixing it up looks really good—solid paths with plant beds or a deck leading into grass. We help blend all that together.
What’s the difference between hardscaping and outdoor builds?
Hardscaping is solid stuff—stone, patio, paths. Outdoor builds usually involve more construction like pergolas or decks.
How do I know if my yard is suitable for a retaining wall?
Slopes, water issues, or shifting dirt mean a wall might help. We can check it out and let you know if it’ll be a good fit.
