Hardscaping is a specialty that we take pride in being able to offer within the communities of Greenville, Simpsonville, Greer, SC. At Upstate Turf Pros, we use quality materials that include brick, stone, and wood to build your hardscaping elements. The elements we build are intimate in scale, yet vast in their impact, with patios, fire pits and walkways being among our popular requests.
As mentioned above, we can build walkways, patios and firepits, but you are not limited to just those choices. Additional hardscaping elements that we routinely build are various types of walls, such as retaining, seating, and raised landscaping bed walls. Upstate Turf Pros also doesn't shy away from decorative curbing or edging around beds.
If the dimensions of the hardscaping elements we build are a curiosity of yours, we can accomodate various requests in scale. For example, if a tall retaining wall is what you'd like to have adorn a section of your yard, we can build one up to 6 feet in height.
Build materials are a topic that should not be glossed over! General terms often used are stone, concrete, pavers, and so forth. However, did you know that there are different ways to pave with concrete? For example, there is cast-in-place concrete paving, which is often chosen for its affordability and ease of installation.
On the other hand, you may want to take advantage of the variety in colors, shapes, sizes and textures of precast concrete pavers. Though more expensive than cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete pavers are a great choice for those who would like to avoid the cost of using natural stone.
And speaking of stone, were you aware of the diversity of stone that is available? For those hot, South Carolina summers, limestone would be a fantastic option, because the light coloring that it features is a contributing factor to its ability to reflect heat. However, if you're looking for a type of stone that is easier to maintain, Travertine may be an ideal choice, because it's less porous than limestone. And of course, there is slate, granite, bluestone, and so many others!
Perhaps you may also like to be clued into the fact that stacked stones are popular choices when building things like walls and fire pits, pavers typically come into play when walkways or patios are the project in mind, while bricks are a versatile material that can be used in just about any hardscaping element.
Every hardscaping project at Upstate Turf Pros follows a structured process that ensures your investment looks great and lasts for years. Here is what to expect when you work with our team in Greenville, Simpsonville, Greer, and surrounding areas:
1. Free Consultation and Design: We visit your property to discuss your vision, take measurements, and assess the terrain and drainage. We help you choose materials, layout, and scale that fit your space and budget. Whether you are envisioning a backyard patio for entertaining, a front walkway to boost curb appeal, or a retaining wall to manage a slope, we work with you to create a plan you are excited about.
2. Site Preparation: Proper preparation is the foundation of any hardscaping project that lasts. We excavate to the correct depth, establish proper grading for water drainage, compact the subgrade, and install a crushed stone base layer. This is the step that many contractors cut corners on, and it is the reason so many patios and walkways develop cracks, shifting, and settling within a few years.
3. Material Installation: With the base properly prepared, we install your chosen materials, whether that is travertine pavers, natural stone, cast-in-place concrete, brick, or stacked stone. Every piece is placed with precision, properly leveled, and finished with jointing sand or mortar as appropriate for the material.
4. Final Details and Cleanup: We install edge restraints to prevent shifting, fill all joints, compact the finished surface, and clean the entire project area. We walk you through the completed project to make sure it matches your vision.
Homeowners across Greenville, Simpsonville, Greer, Mauldin, and Taylors are investing in hardscaping to extend their outdoor living spaces and increase their property values. Here are the most requested hardscaping projects we build:
Patios: From intimate 10x10 conversation areas to large 20x20 outdoor living rooms, patios are our most requested project. Popular materials include travertine pavers for a classic look, flagstone for a natural feel, and concrete pavers for a budget-friendly option.
Walkways: A professionally installed walkway transforms the approach to your front door and connects different areas of your yard. We build walkways using pavers, flagstone, brick, and natural stone in straight, curved, and stepping stone layouts.
Retaining Walls: Essential for properties with slopes or drainage issues. Our retaining walls are built up to 6 feet in height using stacked stone, concrete block, or natural stone. Beyond function, a well-designed retaining wall creates terraced planting areas and visual depth.
Fire Pits: A custom-built fire pit becomes the centerpiece of any backyard. We build both wood-burning and gas-ready fire pits using stacked stone or concrete block, often paired with a surrounding patio and seating wall.
Seating Walls and Raised Beds: These add structure and definition to your outdoor space while providing built-in seating for entertaining. Seating walls pair perfectly with patios and fire pit areas.

Patio pricing depends on the size, material, and complexity of the design. For a standard 12x12 paver patio in the Greenville area, most homeowners invest between $2,500 and $6,000 including materials and labor. Larger patios with premium materials like travertine or natural stone will be higher. We provide free consultations with detailed quotes so you know the exact cost before we begin.
Most residential hardscaping projects in the Greenville area take between 3 and 7 days depending on the scope. A simple walkway may be completed in 2 to 3 days, while a large patio with a seating wall and fire pit could take a full week. Weather can also impact the timeline. We provide an estimated completion date during your consultation.
Most standard hardscaping projects like patios, walkways, and fire pits do not require a permit in Greenville County. However, retaining walls over 4 feet in height and projects that significantly alter drainage or grading may require permits. We handle the permit process for any projects that need one.
For the South Carolina climate, concrete pavers and travertine are the most popular choices because they handle heat, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles well. Travertine stays cooler underfoot in summer, making it ideal for bare feet. Concrete pavers offer the widest range of colors and patterns at a lower price point. We help you choose the best material during your free consultation.
