Outdoor living & hardscaping in Bridgewater, NJ
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire features, and landscape lighting. PTB builds the stonework and outdoor spaces that make a property worth spending time on, designed and installed by one licensed contractor.
Stonework and outdoor spaces built to last
An outdoor living space is only as good as the contractor who builds it. PTB designs and installs patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire features, and landscape lighting. The kind of hardscaping that holds up to New Jersey winters and still looks right ten years later.
This isn't a side gig PTB subs out. Billy's crews build retaining walls and stone features as a core part of the business, with the equipment and the certifications to do it properly: proper base prep, drainage behind the wall, and clean finish work. Whether it's a backyard patio for a homeowner or a hardscaped entrance for an HOA, it's the same licensed contractor from design through the final stone.
Why it pays to do hardscaping right
- Proper base and drainage so walls and patios don't shift, settle, or heave over the winters.
- Techo-Pro certified installation, manufacturer-trained on the materials PTB uses.
- One contractor handles design, excavation, build, and the plantings around it.
- Stone and hardscaping that adds usable space and real value to the property.
- Built by the same company that can maintain the grounds and lighting afterward.
Designed for the property and the people using it
PTB starts with how you actually want to use the space, then builds around the grade, drainage, and the look you're after. Commercial entrances, HOA common areas, or a backyard you'll actually live in, PTB keeps it practical, durable, and finished.
The full outdoor living build
Patios & Pavers
Paver and stone patios built on a proper base so they stay level. Outdoor space you can actually use, for homes and commercial properties alike.
Retaining Walls
Structural and decorative walls with the base prep and drainage that keep them standing. The part most contractors cut corners on.
Walkways & Steps
Stone walkways, paths, and steps that connect a property and stand up to foot traffic and freeze-thaw cycles year after year.
Fire Features
Fire pits and built-in features that turn a patio into the spot everyone ends up. Designed to fit the space and built into the stonework.
Landscape Lighting
Path, wall, and accent lighting that makes a property safer and shows off the work after dark. Installed and maintained by PTB.
Commercial & HOA Hardscaping
Entrances, sitting areas, and common-area stonework for office parks and HOAs, with one contractor for the build and the upkeep.
Three steps from idea to finished space.
Walk & Design
PTB walks the property, talks through how you want to use the space, and lays out a plan that fits the grade, drainage, and budget.
Prep & Build
Proper excavation, base, and drainage first, then the stonework. The part you don't see is what makes the part you do see last.
Finish & Maintain
Plantings, lighting, and clean final details. And because it's PTB, the same company can keep the whole property looking right afterward.
Outdoor living, answered straight.
Does PTB design the space or just build it?
Both. PTB walks the property with you, lays out a design that fits the grade and how you want to use the space, then builds it. One contractor from the first sketch to the last stone, with no handing it off to a separate crew you've never met.
What kinds of retaining walls do you build?
Everything from decorative garden walls to structural walls holding back a grade. The difference is in the base prep and drainage behind the wall, and that's what keeps it from shifting or bulging over the winters. PTB is Techo-Pro certified and builds them to do the job.
Do you handle commercial and HOA hardscaping?
Yes. PTB builds entrances, sitting areas, and common-area stonework for office parks, HOAs, and retail properties. As a licensed, insured contractor, all the documentation your board or property manager needs is on file. One company for the build and the ongoing grounds work.
Can you add lighting to an existing patio or walkway?
Absolutely. Landscape lighting can be added to existing hardscaping or built into a new project. Path, wall, and accent lighting make a property safer and show off the work after dark, and PTB can maintain it going forward.
When is the best time to build a patio or wall in NJ?
Hardscaping can be built through most of the year in New Jersey. Spring through fall is busiest, but stonework isn't as weather-dependent as seeding or planting. The sooner you reach out, the easier it is to get on the schedule for the season you want to use the space.
How much does an outdoor living space project cost?
Hardscape jobs vary a lot depending on scope. A basic paver patio in the 200 to 400 square foot range usually runs $3,000 to $11,000. A bigger build with a covered patio, some lighting, or a fire feature lands somewhere between $15,000 and $50,000. Full outdoor living projects with outdoor kitchens, walls, and multi-level work often start at $30,000 and can go a lot higher depending on materials. Pavers alone are around $18 to $45 a square foot installed. Site prep, drainage, and any grading work factor in too. Whatever the scope, PTB gives you a real number after seeing what you want the space to do.
