What Our Clients Say

What Our Clients Say

We used Gradex Company for the planning and installation of our retaining wall. We are convinced they are the go to company for this type of work! The quality and craftsmanship is without question, they met their timeline in spite of a very rainy season, and their after job restoration was impressive. Without a doubt we will call them again for future jobs.

-M. S.

Bob was extremely easy to work with and essentially made our drawings come to life. He was up front with pricing, clear about construction time frame, and delivered exactly what was agreed upon. He was by far one of the most outstanding parts of our home construction. We would use him again without hesitation

–Travis A.

We’ve had 4 projects with Gradex over the last 15 years, and we’re getting ready to begin a fifth. Bob and his crew are professional, courteous, and do beautiful work! We never hesitate to recommend Gradex Company.

Kansas City Hardscaping Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to your questions around transforming your backyard into your new favorite place to relax and unwind.

A hardscaper is a professional who specializes in the construction and installation of hard, non-living elements in outdoor spaces. These elements typically include structures, surfaces, and features made from materials such as concrete, stone, brick, wood, or metal.

While hardscapers primarily focus on the construction and installation aspects, they may also provide recommendations on material selection, layout design, and maintenance considerations to ensure the longevity and functionality of the hardscape features.

Hardscaping materials can include concrete, stone (such as flagstone or pavers), brick, wood, metal, and composite materials. The choice of materials depends on the desired aesthetic, functionality, and budget of the project.

Hardscapers can provide guidance on material selection based on your specific needs.

Hardscaping focuses on the construction of non-living elements, such as structures and surfaces, while landscaping focuses on the arrangement and cultivation of living elements, such as plants and vegetation.

These two components often work together in outdoor design projects to create a cohesive and well-balanced outdoor space.

Maintenance requirements for hardscape features vary depending on the materials used. Regular cleaning, sealing, and repairs may be necessary to keep them in good condition.

Hardscapers can provide specific maintenance instructions for each feature and recommend suitable cleaning products or sealants.
