Service overview
Welcome to Bradshaw Pools Hardscaping & Retaining Walls Service
We bring 35+ years of experience straight to your backyard. Hardscaping isn't just rocks and bricks; it's lasting structural beauty and functionality — stone paths, retaining walls, patios — linking spaces or preventing soil erosion.
Why Choose Hardscaping?
Hardscape defines how a yard is used: where you walk, where you sit, where the lawn ends and the patio begins. Done right, it adds value and lasts decades.
Benefits
Erosion control, usable outdoor rooms, reduced maintenance, improved drainage, and a finished, designed look that ties the whole property together.
Local Expertise You Can Count On
We have been building along the Wasatch Front since 1991. We know what freeze-thaw cycles and heavy clay soil do to a wall that was not built for them.

Questions
Hardscaping & Retaining Walls FAQs
- What materials do you use for hardscaping and retaining walls?
- Natural stone, segmental concrete blocks, brick, travertine, pavers, and stamped concrete — selected to match your home and site conditions.
- How long does a hardscaping project take?
- Anywhere from a few days for a small patio or walkway to several weeks for tiered retaining walls and full outdoor living spaces.
- How much does hardscaping cost?
- Cost depends on materials, square footage, and access. We provide a transparent, itemized estimate after a free on-site visit.
- Do retaining walls require permits or engineering?
- Most cities require a stamped engineering plan and a permit once a wall passes a certain height, and that threshold varies by municipality. We confirm the requirement with your city during design and handle the engineering and the permit as part of the project.
- How long will my retaining wall last?
- Properly engineered walls with correct drainage and backfill last decades. Our masonry workmanship carries a two-year warranty from substantial completion, and the engineering behind the wall is what determines the rest. Your contract has the full terms.
- What maintenance is required for hardscape?
- Periodic cleaning, occasional re-sanding of paver joints, and a quick yearly inspection. We walk you through care at handoff.

Testimonials
Our Work, Your Words
Hear from Utah homeowners we've worked with.
"We recently moved to Utah and bought a house with a pool that was less ‘refreshing oasis’ and more ‘crumbling mess.’ After suffering through six different bids, we chose Bradshaw—and I’m thrilled we did. Brian was frustratingly good at his job—proactive, easy to reach, caught the tiny details before I even had a chance to point them out. If you want a contractor who actually does what they say they’re going to do (a rare species, I know), hire Bradshaw."
"Bradshaw pools put in our pool 2 1/2 years ago & did an incredible job & stayed within budget. It still looks amazing today! I’d highly recommend Bradshaw’s for your pool."
"Brian is a great guy to work with and a great business owner."
"Brian was so awesome to work with! We will definitely be using him again!"
