Rockingham County’s Family-Owned Hardscape and Landscape Builder
Garrison’s Landscaping, LLC is based in Rockingham County and led by owner Gary Ford, who has more than 25 years of experience building outdoor spaces in the Piedmont Triad. We design and build paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps, outdoor kitchens, fire features and landscape lighting. We also fix the drainage and grading problems that come with building on Rockingham County clay.
Because we’re based in Rockingham County, we can meet you on site, walk the property with you and answer questions in person. Gary is involved in every project from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Paver Patios in Reidsville
Our patios are built with premium Belgard pavers on a fully excavated and compacted base, following ICPI installation guidelines. Many Reidsville lots slope, so a patio often needs a seating wall, a few steps or a built-up edge to sit level. We pitch every patio so rainwater runs away from the house. Fire pits, seating walls and lighting can be built in from the start. See our paver patio work.
Retaining Walls in Reidsville, NC
Plenty of Reidsville yards are cut into hillsides. We build segmental block retaining walls on a compacted gravel base, with drainage stone and pipe behind the wall so water can’t build up pressure and push it over. We also tear out and replace failing railroad-tie and timber walls. Learn more about our retaining walls.
Outdoor Kitchens, Fire Pits and Fireplaces
An outdoor kitchen or fire feature turns a patio into a place you use every evening. We build stone and stone-veneer kitchen islands with granite countertops, grill cutouts and bar seating, plus built-in fire pits, seating walls and outdoor fireplaces. See our outdoor kitchens and fire pits and fireplaces.
Drainage and Grading for Red Clay
Red clay drains slowly, so water sits against foundations, washes out beds and turns low spots into mud. We regrade yards so water moves away from the house, and we install French drains, downspout and catch basin drainage and dry creek beds. We usually solve drainage before we build, so new patios and walls stay put. More about yard grading.
Hardscape Planning and Lighting
We plan the layout, materials and lighting around your hardscape so the whole yard works together. Low-voltage landscape lighting makes patios, walkways and steps safer and lets you enjoy them after dark.

We had a large retaining wall and a large pool patio and a fireplace/pizza oven… in the end his crew worked so hard and they always stayed as late as they could to finish the day's work. He had made a few suggestions which did add to the scope of the original quote…..lights and drainage….but they were definitely worth it… I would definitely recommend them to anyone with an outdoor landscaping project….patios, walls, grading, drainage.

We recently bought a place that has a stone patio on part of the front of the house. We wanted to do an extension to that & add a step to the side. Not only did Gary & his crew get us scheduled earlier than they originally thought, but got the project done in one day! The crew was hard working & very pleasant. They did an awesome job. Highly recommend.

Great guy to work with. Worked with me to design my garden. Couple little hiccups along the way, but everything turned out very nice! New flowerbeds with all new hardscaping is beautiful!

That depends on the height of the wall, the soil, what sits above or below it and the rules that apply to your property. We look at your site on the visit, tell you what we think applies and what to confirm with the city or county before we build.
Water trapped behind a wall adds pressure, and it is a common reason walls lean or fail. We build on a compacted gravel base with drainage stone and pipe behind the wall so water has a way out.
Pavers are set individually on a compacted base, so a section can be lifted and reset if the ground shifts, and they come in many colors and patterns. Stamped concrete is a single poured slab that can crack as the ground moves. We build our patios with pavers.
