Pavers, patios, outdoor kitchens, and full yard renovations for Tempe homeowners. Owner-operated, ROC-licensed, and 4.6 stars on Houzz across 69 reviews — including a Best of Houzz 2019 award for design.
Tempe is full of established homes with tired flagstone, cracked concrete, and dated landscape beds — exactly the kind of project our crews have rebuilt across the East Valley for the better part of a decade. We handle the design conversation, the material sourcing, the demo, and the install with our own people. You get a written bid up front and an outdoor space that actually works through monsoon and 115-degree summer.
Six of the projects we get asked about most often, plus the full service list. Every install is run by Edward and the Amberstone crew — never subbed out to another contractor.
Driveways, walkways, courtyards. Engineered base, properly compacted, jointed with polymeric sand. Built to hold through Tempe monsoon runoff and summer heat.

Yes. Before pavers go down we evaluate the subgrade, monsoon drainage paths, and how runoff hits the hardscape edges. Tempe yards with mature trees especially need that pass — it's the difference between a patio that holds for twenty years and one that heaves at year five.

It depends on the look you're after and how the yard gets used. Travertine and porcelain pavers wear well in heat. Concrete pavers are workhorses for driveways. Decorative concrete and flagstone still have a place. Edward will walk you through real samples on-site so the call isn't theoretical.
