PATIO-01
Custom Patio Installation

We set the stone. You set the scene.

Cleveland's Hardscape Specialists
When Cleveland homeowners plan a new patio or a serious retaining wall, they come to Samson Landscape + Design. Serving Shaker Heights, University Heights, Cleveland Heights, and surrounding Eastside communities, we design and build hardscape that raises property value the day it's finished — and still looks right a decade later.
From paver patios and natural-stone terraces to segmental retaining walls and boulder outcroppings, every project starts with grade and drainage and ends with cap stones set true.

How We Build Patios + Walls
- COURSE 01
Site Walk + Grade Read
We walk the yard, read existing grade and drainage, and identify what has to be fixed before a single stone is set — the base of the project is made here, not at install.
- COURSE 02
Design + Material Selection
Concept sketches, material boards, and wall/patio layouts with real dimensions. Pavers, natural stone, wall block, caps — chosen together so everything on site reads as one project.
- COURSE 03
Excavation + Base
Dig to depth, compact in lifts, and build the aggregate base that carries the patio or wall for decades. Drainage behind walls, screeded sand for patios, tight edges.
- COURSE 04
Set, Cap, + Finish
Pavers cut clean on a wet saw, wall courses stepped and glued to code, polymeric sand swept, caps set level. We stay on the job until the finish passes our own punch list.

Materials We Work With

- Natural StoneBluestone, limestone, and flagstone for warmth and irregular character.
- Retaining Wall BlockSegmental block with proper geogrid + drainage for walls up to code height.
- Boulder + OutcroppingHeavy boulder walls for rural / naturalized sites where block would read wrong.
“I had a retaining wall cave in and they rebuilt it — better than it was originally. They started the job early and stuck with it until done. Highly recommended.”
