Owner-led paver, patio, and outdoor-living installs for Scottsdale homes — from McCormick Ranch entryways to North Scottsdale resort-style yards. Edward Steve Bencomo walks every site personally before the bid.
Amberstone Hardscaping Design has spent roughly eight years rebuilding Arizona yards, and Scottsdale is one of our most active service areas. The work here ranges further than most: full driveway pavers, flagstone-and-concrete patio reworks, artificial turf putting greens, gas fire features, and complete outdoor kitchens. Every project starts with Edward on-site, walking the property and talking through material options before a single number goes on paper.
Ten core hardscape services, one owner-operated crew, and the same quality bar on a $4,000 walkway as on a full backyard remodel.
Driveways, walkways, courtyard entries. Set on engineered base for Scottsdale's expansive soils and summer heat.

Edward came out himself, walked the whole yard, and talked through paver options for over an hour before quoting anything. The bid came in below two other paver companies and the install matched the quote exactly.
Our backyard was a mess of broken flagstone and cracked concrete. Amberstone tore it all out and rebuilt it with pavers — the before-and-after is honestly hard to believe. Edward and his crew were straightforward the whole way.
Amberstone is exactly what a small business should be. Edward answered every question, the bid was transparent, and the crew showed up when they said they would. Couldn't recommend more.
