Hardscaping services you can trust

The craftsmanship is excellent, and the entire team was professional, respectful, and efficient throughout the three-week project. James was fantastic to work with—communicative, flexible, and ready to problem-solve as our project progressed. The timeline was accurate, even with a few change orders.

After some very careful research, we selected River City Hardscapes in Salem. We met with James and his lovely wife and knew right away that he was the right guy. He viewed our location and immediately had a vision as what we could do. Our own vision was not specific, and it took someone like James to open our eyes to the incredible possibilities in front of us.

Communication was excellent. Always answered his phone or called us back in a reasonable time. Great communication on project timeline or any changes he was seeing ahead of time. He always showed up when he said he was going to. The project was done right and meant to last a lifetime - James really values quality of work over just getting the job done.

We highly recommend River City Hardscape . James and his crew constructed a large retaining wall and it is above and beyond what we invisioned. Communication was easy, they started and ended the job on time. They cleaned up my entire front yard and even power washed the driveway.

James and crew members constructed 2 patios, walkways, a ramp into rear yard,, and replaced the front door entrance with paving stones. We are very pleased with their workmanship and work detail. Excellent job. The work also included relocating a 7-piece marble water fountain with sump pump, relocating a heavy stone bench, and reusing stepping stones from the excavation to extend a pathway.

James and the crew from River City Hardscapes did an excellent job with the installation of our new patio. They were very communicative and gave us opportunities to input throughout the process. James did a great job explaining the process and challenges they encountered and gave us opportunities to give input on how to resolve them.

Working with James and River City Hardscapes was incredible. We had a challenging project including a retaining wall, two level patio, and a sloping walkway. James is creative and has an excellent vision for what the project could be. We found his cost to be very reasonable. He was timely and professional. He was quick to respond to my questions and was always checking on how we were feeling as the project progressed.

We recently had River City Hardscapes put in a retaining wall, and we couldn't be happier with process, and more importantly the results! Throughout the process, communication was top-notch, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. From start to finish, James listened attentively to our ideas and offered valuable insights to enhance the design, and made sure the end result was what we had envisioned.
