Backyard Hardscaping
Outdoor Living Spaces Designed for Backyards Across the Eastern Shore and Delaware Beaches
Real Backyard Hardscaping Transformations
Backyard Hardscapes That Add Lasting Value to Homes in Maryland and Delaware
Backyard Hardscaping Built for Local Conditions
Backyard projects in this region often come with real limitations. Slopes, drainage issues, limited access around the home, and older hardscape that has settled or failed over time are all common, especially on properties across the Eastern Shore and coastal areas.
Our backyard hardscaping is planned specifically to work within those conditions. We focus on proper base preparation, accurate grading, dependable drainage, and materials that can handle regular use and changing weather. The result is a backyard that feels intentional, functions well, and continues to perform over time.

See Your Backyard Hardscape Before Installation
Visualize Backyard Hardscaping Concepts Ahead of Construction
One of the biggest challenges with backyard projects is visualizing how the space will actually come together. To make that easier, we offer an AI powered landscape design visualizer.
You can upload a photo of your backyard, select the hardscape features you are considering, and see realistic design concepts placed directly into your space. This allows you to compare layouts, explore different ideas, and understand how patios, walls, and walkways will work with your home before any construction begins.
The visualizer also provides a rough cost range based on the features you select. That early pricing insight helps you plan more confidently and make informed decisions before moving into final design and installation.
Backyards Transformed With Custom Hardscaping
Many homeowners contact us because their backyard feels underused, awkwardly laid out, or disconnected from how they want to spend time outdoors. With a clear plan and proper installation, the difference is noticeable as soon as the project is complete.
Clients often tell us the space feels more comfortable, easier to move through, and far more usable for everyday living or entertaining. Those results come from thoughtful layout planning, proper base preparation, and building each element with care and attention to detail.
How Backyard Hardscaping Is Priced
Backyard hardscaping costs can vary widely depending on the property. Access around the home, changes in elevation, drainage requirements, and material choices all play a major role in the overall investment.
To help homeowners plan with realistic expectations, we have created a detailed pricing guide based on real backyard hardscaping projects completed throughout the Eastern Shore and nearby coastal communities. It explains what different budget ranges typically allow for and helps you understand costs before moving into design and construction.

Here's What They Say
We had Keystone Pavers install a driveway with extensive hardscaping along the edges and aprons at both ends. I got about five quotes from other contractors given the size of the project and most were reasonable. However, after meeting with Eric and his team, it was clear to me that Keystone was the best company for the job. His knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to quality and detail were impressive. My first impressions were spot on. The crews always showed up on time as planned and did a phenomenal job. Eric was exceptionally responsive when I had questions along the way as well. I recommend Keystone Pavers in the highest possible terms!
Keystone Pavers did a phenomenal job on our large paver patio installation! Our previous patio (installed from another contractor 15 years ago) was constructed incorrectly and was horribly rippled and the pavers were separating. Other contractors either walked away from the project or told us they would use the already existing foundation and put new pavers on top (which would not have solved the problem). Eric immediately and accurately diagnosed the problem and proposed an appropriate plan to reconstruct the patio from the foundation. He listened intently and addressed all my concerns. We are impressed by the quality and workmanship and the construction was top notch. Highly recommend Keystone. Our patio was installed about 2 months ago and we have been enjoying it thoroughly throughout the summer. Thank you Courtney and Eric!
Keystone Pavers did an amazing job installing our patio. Very happy with the entire process, they were great!
I'm a returning customer; I had a patio and walkway installed by Keystone Paves a few years ago. When planning a front entrance and walkway I didn't consider anyone but Keystone Pavers and they didn't disappoint. In spite of a minor supply-chain issue that caused a slight delay in starting the project, Eric and his crew pressed on, adjusted their schedule, and managed to complete the work within the requested timeframe.
I contacted this company for a paver patio, but didn’t realize how far away they were from me. I’m a first time paver user and even tho I didn’t end up using them. Eric helped me along the way. Extremely few companies will help u out when u aren’t using them. He even emailed me a list of trusted paver installers who could help me along the way with the best price. Answered all my questions, which were many. Lol He also advised me on what to make sure of in my contract so that I was taken care of. Eric u rock, and are a very essential employee to this company. He helped me out even tho he didn’t get a dollar from me. I will definitely recommend this company to my friends who live out that way. Thank u!
Entire TEAM was very professional hands down. From day one meeting with the owner to discuss a plan, working with office personnel until the job was completed was outstanding. Job was done quicker than expected too. My property was clean, neat and taken care of too. There TEAM is polite and professional. They met us when it was convenient for my schedule and plan to come back and seed in the spring if necessary. Highly recommended👍👍
Eric and his crew are true professionals and their quality of work is the best in the area. Highly recommend!
Exceptional experience all around! The owners, Eric and Courtney are patient, talented, thoughtful, responsive and hard working. Their talent is second to none. It has been a blessing to be the beneficiary of their project design and professionalism. I highly recommend Keystone Pavers.
A++ for Keystone Pavers! Eric, Courtney and their team are true professionals during every phase, from design and estimating to installation. They have vision and a passion for their trade and it shows. As business owners they say what they do and do what they say. We are beyond thrilled with our pool deck, fire pit and surrounding landscape. Our backyard is now the oasis we always wanted! The Somervilles, Chester, MD
Eric and his team are fabulous. I couldn't have expected anything better from their service!
