 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don Romano and his team  are very professional and do excellent work. We had 2 retaining walls put in on our property. The front of our home looks better than it ever did before this job was done. We would recommend him to any who asked.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend RPM! They put in a gorgeous paver walkway last fall and just completed replacing my deck. I’ve gotten so many compliments on both projects! Don was so easy to work with….he worked within my budget and offered so many suggestions when I couldn’t decide. He takes a lot of pride in his work and I wouldn’t hire anyone else for future projects!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex 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!

Hardscaping That Fits the Character of Troy

Patios Built for Everyday Use – A patio should feel like a natural extension of your home, giving you a comfortable place to relax, entertain, or enjoy time outdoors. As a trusted hardscape contractor in Troy, RPM Outdoor Living Spaces installs paver patios with careful base preparation and grading to promote long-term stability and performance.

Walkways That Improve the Flow of Your Property – A well-planned walkway does more than connect one area to another. It creates safer access, improves curb appeal, and makes it easier to enjoy every part of your landscape while complementing the style of your home.

Retaining Walls That Handle Elevation Changes – Many Troy properties include slopes or uneven terrain that can make landscaping challenging. We build retaining walls that provide structural support, reduce erosion, and create more usable outdoor areas without sacrificing appearance.

Outdoor Features That Bring Everything Together – As your outdoor living contractor, we can add seating walls, decorative borders, and fire pits that make your backyard more inviting while creating a landscape that feels complete and cohesive.

Why Troy Homeowners Trust RPM Outdoor Living

Designs That Respect Your Property – Every home has its own layout, architecture, and landscape. We take those details into account to create hardscaping that complements the existing property instead of looking like an afterthought.

Built with Longevity in Mind – Quality materials are only part of the equation. Proper excavation, grading, drainage, and installation techniques help your hardscape withstand freeze-thaw cycles and everyday use for years to come.

Organized Projects from Beginning to End – You’ll know what to expect before construction begins. We provide clear communication, maintain an organized worksite, and keep your project moving efficiently while maintaining high standards of workmanship.

Complete Exterior Improvements – Many homeowners pair a new hardscape with a paver driveway to create a more cohesive front entrance, install a custom fence for added privacy, improve drainage before construction with foundation repairs, or complete the property with our landscape contractor services for a polished finished appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on historic properties in Troy?

Yes. Troy has many historic homes with unique layouts and established landscapes. We carefully design hardscaping that complements the property’s character while improving functionality and preserving its overall appearance.

Can you build hardscaping on smaller city lots?

Absolutely. Limited yard space doesn’t mean you have limited possibilities. We design patios, walkways, and retaining walls that maximize available space while keeping the layout open and comfortable.

How do you prevent patios from settling over time?

Long-lasting patios begin with proper excavation, compacted base materials, and careful grading. We focus on the foundation beneath the surface so your hardscape remains stable through seasonal weather changes.

Can retaining walls help reshape my backyard?

Yes. Retaining walls are an excellent solution for managing slopes, defining landscape beds, and creating level areas for patios or outdoor seating. They can significantly improve both the function and appearance of uneven properties.

Is it possible to match new hardscaping with an older home?

Definitely. We offer a variety of paver styles, colors, and textures that complement both historic and modern homes throughout Troy, helping the finished project feel like it has always belonged there.

Should drainage issues be addressed before installing hardscaping?

In many cases, yes. Standing water or drainage concerns should be corrected before construction begins. If necessary, we’ll recommend solutions that protect both your new hardscape and the surrounding property.

Can projects be completed in multiple phases?

Yes. Many homeowners start with a patio or retaining wall and expand their outdoor living space over time. We can create a long-term plan that allows future additions to blend seamlessly with the original project.

How much maintenance is required after installation?

Hardscape features require relatively little upkeep. Routine cleaning, occasional joint sand maintenance, and monitoring drainage will help preserve the appearance and performance of your investment for years.

What time of year is best for hardscaping in Troy?

Most projects are completed between spring and fall, although availability fills quickly during peak construction season. Scheduling your consultation early gives you more flexibility when planning your project.

How do I get an estimate?
