From proposal to punch list, we’ve got you covered.

C.R. Schmidt offers quality installations of paver bricks and segmental retaining wall block – which we fondly refer to as ‘hardscaping’ – in a wide variety of styles, materials, designs and applications. Our hardscape expertise spans a wide range, from hand installed clay pavers to mechanically installed permeable pavers to block wall installations in water, and everything in between!

C.R. Schmidt has been in business and enjoyed a wonderful reputation as a hardscape installation expert since 1986. We have done a variety of different types of projects, both large and small, both straight forward and complex; and treat every one of them as if it was our featured job.
