Retaining Walls & Hardscaping in Overland Park, Kansas by Genesis Lawn, Landscape, & Tree Service

Hardscape is the structure that makes a landscape work — it holds a slope, creates flat usable space, and gives beds and plantings something to sit against. We design and build segmental block and natural stone retaining walls, seat walls, paver patios, walkways, steps, and borders for properties throughout Overland Park.

Walls fail from the back, not the front, so that's where we spend our effort: excavating to proper depth, compacting a base of crushed aggregate in lifts, setting a level first course, installing geogrid reinforcement where wall height requires it, and backfilling with clean drainage rock and pipe so water has somewhere to go. A wall built this way is still straight and tight a decade later.

Patios and walkways get the same treatment — a compacted aggregate base, screeded bedding sand, tight joint lines, edge restraint on every open side, and polymeric joint sand swept and set. We lay out curves and transitions on site with you before a single paver is cut, so you can see the shape in your own yard rather than on paper.

Larger construction projects sometimes require special licenses and certifications, and we have trusted members of the landscaping community that we work with for those special cases — so your project gets the right people either way. We create beautiful yard designs by combining seasonal color, perennials, landscaping, and maintenance, and hardscape is what ties it together. Request a free estimate to start a design.
