One Contractor. Complete Outdoor Transformation.
Hardscaping includes the permanent constructed features that give your outdoor space structure, function and character.

We can combine excavation, grading, drainage, retaining walls, pavers, concrete, steps and outdoor construction into one coordinated project.

A durable paver project requires proper preparation.
Depending on site conditions and the application, this can include excavation, grading, aggregate base installation, compaction, bedding material, edge restraint and drainage considerations.
Our focus is on building the foundation correctly before installing the finished surface.
Planning a Paver Patio?
Paver Patios Halifax, Dartmouth & Bedford
Build an Outdoor Living Space You'll Actually Use
A well-designed patio can turn an empty backyard into one of the most useful areas of your property.
Imagine having a dedicated space for:
Outdoor dining • BBQs • Fire pits • Hot tubs • Family gatherings • Entertaining • Relaxing
We build everything from simple backyard patios to larger projects incorporating retaining walls, steps, walkways and multiple elevations.
For properties with slopes, we can evaluate how retaining walls and grading can be used to create a more level and functional patio area.

Retaining Walls Halifax, Dartmouth & Bedford
Create Usable Space From Sloped & Uneven Properties
A retaining wall can completely change what is possible with your property.
Retaining walls can be used to:
- Hold back soil
- Control erosion
- Manage elevation changes
- Create level outdoor areas
- Support raised patios
- Create garden beds
- Terrace sloped properties
- Define outdoor living areas
- Incorporate outdoor steps
- Improve curb appeal
Retaining Wall Drainage Matters
The blocks you see are only one component of a retaining wall system.
Proper excavation, aggregate base preparation, drainage, backfill and grading are critical considerations when building a retaining wall.
Water accumulating behind a wall can create additional pressure, which is why drainage needs to be considered during construction.
We approach retaining wall construction as a complete system rather than simply stacking blocks.
Have a Sloped Property?
A combination of retaining walls, steps, patios and grading may help turn difficult terrain into usable outdoor space.

Paver Installation Halifax, Dartmouth & Bedford
Custom Interlocking Paver Patios & Walkways
Pavers are one of the most versatile materials available for residential hardscaping.
They can be used to create:
- Backyard patios
- Front walkways
- Garden pathways
- Outdoor entertainment areas
- Fire pit areas
- Raised patios
- Steps and landings
- Decorative borders
- Driveway areas
- Multi-level outdoor spaces
With different colours, textures, sizes and laying patterns available, your paver project can be designed to complement your home and surrounding landscape.
But the finished pavers are only part of the installation.
Proper Paver Installation Starts Below the Surface
Proper Hardscape Preparation Matters
The finished patio, walkway or retaining wall is only part of the project.
What happens underneath it matters.
Nova Scotia properties experience moisture, changing temperatures and freeze-thaw conditions.
That's why proper excavation, aggregate base preparation, compaction, grading and drainage are important parts of hardscape construction.
Depending on the project, our preparation can include:
- Excavation and material removal
- Grading
- Aggregate base installation
- Compaction
- Drainage preparation
- Bedding preparation
- Final grading and cleanup
Our goal is to build your project properly from the ground up—not simply make it look good on installation day.
Complete Backyard Hardscape Transformations
Bring Your Entire Outdoor Space Together
Sometimes a new patio isn't enough.
Properties with slopes, poor access, drainage concerns or multiple elevations may require several hardscaping elements working together.
Move Mountains Landscaping Inc. can combine:
Excavation → Drainage → Retaining Walls → Paver Patio → Steps → Walkways → Concrete → Final Grading
For example, a sloped backyard could incorporate a retaining wall to create a level patio area, outdoor steps between elevations and a walkway connecting the patio to the home.
Instead of treating each element as a separate project, we can look at how your entire outdoor space works together.
