We hired Don and his team at RPM a few years ago to build a backyard patio and retaining wall—and their work was so impressive that we didn’t hesitate to bring them back for more. This time, they completely transformed our front walkway and created beautiful flower beds on both sides of our house to make room for future landscaping. Just like before, Don and his crew delivered exceptional results. Their professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are unmatched. In fact, they may be the only contractors we fully trust. Don brought fantastic ideas to the table, and his team brought those ideas to life flawlessly. The front of our home has never looked better. If you're considering an outdoor renovation, do yourself a favor and hire RPM. Choosing anyone else would be a serious mistake. Thank you, Don and team, for another outstanding job—we're beyond grateful!Posted on Google Brian DenvirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don and his team built us a brand new patio, retaining wall, and fire pit about two years ago. As I’m sitting out by my fire now, I realized I never left a review, which is a disservice to them. I have never had any contractor communicate and execute to perfection quite like Don and his crew. I wish I could hire them to do literally every job at my house because I know I’d never need to worry. If you like flawless and headache free, you will not regret calling Don. The second he steps foot on your property, you’ll know you’ll be dealing with the best in the business. Can’t thank Don enough.Posted on Google Christopher HeathTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recommend RPM, if I could, I would give 10 stars. My new front stairs are beautiful and I couldn't love the finished product more. Don is such a nice guy, listens and is a perfectionist, which when having work done, it is the best trait in your contractor.Posted on Google Daryl BartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't wait to share the finished product with the world. Our experience from conception to design to installation has been nothing short of seamless. RPM has taken our ideas and made it into a reality we didn't know was possible. Don & his crew are reliable, show up every day ready to work, leave the space clean and tidy, roll with any and all chaos, come in on budget and are realistic with time estimates - plus answer all of my questions and still find ways to get it all done. Our 1400 SQ patio, wall, living space and huge built in fire pit are incredible. Waiting on some furniture and decor and seasonal plantings to add photos. You wont believe the before and after.Posted on Google Christopher MaggioreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don Romano and his team epitomize professionalism. Don’s communication is seamless, he constantly is collaborating, his team’s workmanship produces stunning results, and Don’s vision is top notch. Throughout the process, Don worked with us to put together our dream patio. Don personally visited our home on multiple occasions, adjusting plans to meet our ever-changing requirements. Each suggestion and concept Don proposed was flawlessly executed by his team, and we ended up with a patio that exceeded our expectations. Don’s team is our first choice for bringing our home visions to life and we’d highly recommend him for any job that his team offers!

Hardscape Features That Fit Averill Park Properties
Outdoor Spaces for Lake Living – Many homes around Crystal Lake and Burden Lake are designed to make the most of the outdoors. RPM Outdoor Living Spaces build patios that create comfortable spaces for morning coffee, family gatherings, or enjoying the view while complementing the surrounding landscape.
Natural Stone & Paver Walkways – A thoughtfully designed walkway does more than connect spaces. It creates a welcoming entrance, improves footing across uneven terrain, and guides guests naturally through your property without disrupting the existing landscape.
Retaining Walls That Work with the Terrain – The rolling hills found throughout Averill Park often require more than simple grading. Our retaining walls help reshape challenging yards, define planting areas, and create level spaces for outdoor living while helping manage runoff after heavy rain.
Outdoor Living Designed Around You – Every family uses their backyard differently. Some want a quiet place to relax, while others envision a space for entertaining. As your outdoor living contractor, we can incorporate features like fire pits, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens to create an outdoor environment that matches your lifestyle.
What Sets Our Hardscaping Apart in Averill Park
Thoughtful Design Before Construction – Every successful project starts with a plan. We take time to understand how you want to use your yard, evaluate the existing layout, and recommend hardscaping that fits naturally with your home instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all design.
Materials Selected for Long-Term Performance – Choosing the right pavers, wall systems, and base materials makes a noticeable difference over time. We use products suited for New York’s climate so your outdoor space continues to perform through changing seasons.
Respect for Your Property – Construction doesn’t have to feel chaotic. Our crew works carefully around existing landscaping whenever possible, keeps the jobsite organized, and leaves the area clean once the project is complete.
More Than Just Hardscaping – Many outdoor projects include additional improvements beyond patios and walkways. We can incorporate a deck, improve drainage with French drain installation, or build features like fire pits and outdoor kitchens so every part of your outdoor space works together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pavers are an excellent option because they handle seasonal temperature changes well and offer attractive design flexibility. Proper installation with a stable base also helps improve performance in areas where moisture levels may vary throughout the year.
Absolutely. Retaining walls are commonly used to create flatter outdoor living areas, improve drainage, and make sloped properties easier to enjoy. They’re especially useful for homes with uneven terrain common throughout the Averill Park area.
