Hardscaping & Paving
Hardscaping forms the architectural backbone of any great outdoor space. Bayview's master craftsmen have been installing premium paver and natural stone surfaces throughout Silicon Valley for over 37 years — building patios, driveways, retaining walls, and walkways that stand the test of time.
We work with the full range of premium hardscape materials — from classic travertine and flagstone to modern concrete pavers and custom cut natural stone. Every material we specify is selected for its durability, beauty, and suitability for California's climate.
Our installation process begins with proper base preparation — the most critical factor in any paving project's longevity. We excavate to the appropriate depth, install compacted aggregate base, and use proper edge restraints to ensure your paving stays level and stable for decades.
Our most celebrated hardscape project is the Los Altos Hills estate that sold for $18,150,000 — featuring an expansive pool surround, concrete pathways, and integrated planting beds that set the standard for Silicon Valley luxury landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between pavers and poured concrete?
Pavers offer more design flexibility, are easier to repair (individual units can be replaced), and tend to have better curb appeal. Poured concrete is typically less expensive but harder to repair when it cracks.
How long does a paver patio installation take?
A typical paver patio (500–1,000 sq ft) takes 5–10 business days from start to finish, including base preparation and finishing.
Do you offer warranties on hardscape installations?
Yes — we provide a 2-year workmanship warranty on all hardscape installations. Material warranties vary by manufacturer.
