Jacksonville Pro Landscape designs and builds custom hardscape features. We turn Jacksonville outdoor spaces into beautiful, useful parts of your home. We build travertine patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits. We handle every phase for residential and commercial properties across Duval County.

Jacksonville’s sandy soil is the main challenge in every hardscape project. Sand shifts. It drains fast. It does not pack down like clay or limestone. A patio or wall built on poorly prepped sand will settle, crack at the joints, and fail in a few years. Good base prep here means digging down to firm subgrade, adding geotextile fabric to stop sand from mixing in, and laying compacted crushed concrete or lime rock. The base must be deep enough to hold the surface through Northeast Florida’s heavy summer rain.

Some contractors skip these steps or do not know our soil. Their work looks good on day one but fails within two seasons. We build every project for the exact soil on your property.

Custom Paver Patios — We install patios in travertine, concrete pavers, natural stone, and brick. Travertine is the top pick in Jacksonville. It stays cool underfoot in the heat and resists salt air near the coast. A standard 200 square foot paver patio here runs $2,200 to $4,500, based on the material and site prep.

Retaining Walls — Good drainage and erosion control in sandy soil need well-built retaining walls. We build with natural stone, concrete block, and segmental systems made for Florida. Every wall has drainage behind the face. Water that cannot move sideways through sand builds pressure and makes walls fail.

Outdoor Kitchens — Jacksonville’s warm weather makes an outdoor kitchen one of the best ways to use your yard. We build custom kitchens with grills, smokers, fridges, counters, and seating. We pick every material for Florida’s humidity, heat, and coastal salt.

Fire Pits and Fireplaces — Jacksonville’s mild winters are great for outdoor fire features. We install gas and wood-burning fire pits and fireplaces. We use natural stone, concrete block, and brick that complement your existing landscape and hardscape.

Pool Decks and Walkways — We build paver and natural stone pool decks that stay cool underfoot in summer. We use non-slip materials and good drainage to keep pool areas safe.

Driveway Extensions and Parking Pads — Extend your driveway or add a parking pad in pavers or concrete that match your hardscape. Good base prep is key for any surface that holds vehicle weight on sandy soil.

Travertine is a great choice for Jacksonville hardscape. It stays much cooler than concrete pavers in the sun. It resists salt air near the coast. And it gains a nice patina over time. For homes near the beach, travertine’s salt resistance makes it the clear first pick.

Concrete pavers come in the widest range of colors, patterns, and prices. On a well-prepped base with polymeric sand in the joints, they hold up well here. The key is polymeric sand that can take Florida’s hard rain without washing out.

Natural stone — flagstone, bluestone, and coquina — gives a distinct look that fits Florida’s landscape. Coquina is a local material with deep roots in Northeast Florida and does well in our coastal conditions.

Jacksonville Hardscaping Pricing

A Jacksonville patio proposal should price the measured layout and selected assembly rather than rely on a generic square-foot example. Compare base preparation, drainage, edge restraint, materials, access, exclusions, and change-order terms in writing. Larger patios of 400 to 600 square feet run $5,000 to $12,000. Retaining walls run $3,000 to $8,000 by height, length, and material. Outdoor kitchens start at $5,000 for a basic grill setup and reach $25,000 or more for a full outdoor living space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Divide the property into numbered work zones and attach measurements, photos, access notes and visible conditions to each zone. Every hardscape line item can then identify exactly where it applies.

Write protection and removal first, preparation second, installation or service work third, and testing and cleanup last. If a site finding could change that order, identify the decision point in advance.

Quantities, disposal, equipment access, restoration, exclusions and final testing should be explicit. An item that is not written into the scope should not be assumed to be included.
