“We recently hired Paramount Concrete and Hardscapes for a concrete and hardscape project at our home, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Jay handled the initial site survey, quote, and communication throughout the project. He also made several recommendations during the planning process that…”
“Jay and his crews put concrete and pavers around our pool and added Pergolas and privacy wall to our pool area. Carlos and his crew were so creative and paid attention to every detail on the concrete and pavers area. Jays crew that worked on the Pergolas worked with us to give us the best possible results for this…”
“I could not be more pleased with the work done by the Paramount team. They are professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. I worked with Jay to scope the project, driveway and front walkway demolition and replacement. The demo and installation crew led by Toni and including Mario and Vari is highly competent and…”
“Had Paramount do a paver patio with a matching firepit. I was very impressed with the care taken to make sure that the entire job was done right. The gentleman that actually laid every paver stone was very meticulous in making sure all was level. They even put in concrete footings for me for a Pergola kit I had…”
“Paramount Concrete & Hardscapes absolutely crushed it! And by crushed it, I mean they made my property look so good that I’m now emotionally attached to my driveway 😂 I used to pull into my house and think, “Yep, that’s concrete.” Now I pull in and think, “WOW… should I be charging people admission?” The work is…”
“We wanted two stamped concrete pads (one on either side of our existing pad), one to be used for a cooking area and the other larger one for entertaining. I talked with at least 6 other companies and I got either really high quotes, or no responses. When I was close to giving up, I found Paramount Hardscapes. I spoke…”
How it works
Planned right, then built right.
Every project we build gets solved on paper first — grades, drainage, base depth, layout, elevations. That’s not extra process, it’s the reason our builds go in without surprises and still look right ten years later. Straightforward flatwork can be planned over the phone. Larger outdoor living and custom builds get a paid on-site design consultation, because those decisions are worth more than a guess from the driveway.
