Hardscaping Services

Outdoor Living Built to Last

Tri-State Paving and Construction has built hardscapes across the tri-state for more than four decades, turning unused yard space into patios, walls, and outdoor rooms that hold up for years. Every project gets the base work and craftsmanship that keeps stone level and walls standing straight.

Our owner-operated crews handle every build in-house across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, with no subcontractors on any job. We excavate and compact the base, set proper drainage, and lay every paver and stone to spec, because the groundwork under a patio decides whether it stays level for decades or shifts in a few seasons.

Our Hardscaping Services

Five hardscaping services, each with its own page covering the full scope of the work:

Outdoor kitchen with gray cabinets, grill, potted plants, and stone patio beside black steps.

Outdoor Kitchens

Custom outdoor kitchens built to last through every season, ready for cooking, hosting, and gathering.

Built on a Solid Base

A hardscape is only as good as what’s under it. We excavate to proper depth, compact the base in lifts, and set drainage so water moves where it should instead of pooling under your pavers. Walls get proper footing and backfill so they hold grade without leaning. Every stone and paver is set level and locked in. That groundwork is why our patios and walls stand up to tri-state freeze-thaw cycles for decades.

What Makes Hardscaping Last

A few things separate a patio that stays level from one that heaves and shifts, and we get each one right:

Base

We excavate and compact a deep, stable base so pavers and stone never settle or rock.

Drainage

Proper slope and base drainage move water away, preventing the heaving that ruins cheap hardscapes.

Footings

Walls get solid footings and backfill so they hold grade and stand straight for years.

Setting

Every paver and stone is set level and locked tight against shifting and separation.

Edging

Secure edge restraint keeps your patio or walkway from spreading and pulling apart over time.

Tri-State Paving did an excellent job sealing my asphalt driveway and repainting the stamped asphalt edging. Frank, the owner, responded quickly to my questions and inquires. He showed a lot of knowledge while discussing how my driveway was laid out and about the stamped asphalt process. Frank abd his crew did an excellent job with stamped asphalt painting ensuring the lines were perfect. Thank you so much for your work. Totally Recommended.

From beginning through completion Frank was great to deal with. Professional and courteous. He explained in detail what he was going to do. He was on site throughout the work. No dropping off his crew and disappearing as many contractors will do. He answered all our questions and our new driveway looks great! Even when my husband called him for a minor issue he came right out and addressed it. Thank you for making this a good experience!

Tri-State Paving performed milling & paving for the parking lot of American Legion Post 39 in Bel Air. This is a family owned company and their attention to every detail was fantastic. We could not be more pleased with the entire construction process. The price was reasonable & we have received many compliments from our members. Thanks to the Tolino family for a job well done !
