 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 services done by professionals of RPM Outdoor Living

Hardscape Designs That Fit Your Outdoor Lifestyle

Patios Made for Everyday Enjoyment – A patio should be more than a place to set outdoor furniture. We build inviting outdoor spaces where you can enjoy family dinners, entertain guests, or simply relax after a busy day. Every installation completed by RPM Outdoor Living is completed with careful grading and a stable foundation to support long-term performance.

Walkways That Improve the Way You Move – Well-designed walkways create natural connections throughout your property while improving safety and curb appeal. We install paver walkways and steps that provide smooth transitions between entrances, patios, gardens, and outdoor gathering areas.

Retaining Walls with Purpose – Retaining walls do more than hold back soil. They help organize outdoor spaces, manage elevation changes, and create usable areas that make challenging yards easier to enjoy while enhancing the overall landscape.

Outdoor Living Features Built to Grow – Your backyard should evolve with your lifestyle. If you’re planning future upgrades, we can incorporate a layout that allows for a custom outdoor kitchen, making it easier to expand your outdoor living space over time.

Why Watervliet Homeowners Choose RPM Outdoor Living

Thoughtful Planning Before Construction – Every successful project starts with a solid plan. We evaluate your property’s layout, discuss how you want to use the space, and recommend hardscaping solutions that fit your goals instead of relying on one standard design.

Built to Handle New York Weather – Seasonal temperature swings, heavy rain, and freeze-thaw cycles all affect outdoor surfaces. Our hardscape company uses proper excavation, grading, and installation techniques that help support long-term durability throughout the Capital Region.

Craftsmanship You Can Count On – We believe the details matter. From the first paver to the final cleanup, every phase of construction is completed with care, precision, and respect for your property.

Outdoor Projects That Work Together – Many homeowners improve drainage before installing new hardscaping. When water management is part of your project, our french drain installation service can help protect your investment while supporting the overall performance of your outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can hardscaping help maximize a smaller backyard?

Yes. Even compact properties can benefit from thoughtful hardscape design. Features like patios, walkways, and retaining walls can improve the layout while making the available space feel larger and more functional.

What should I prioritize when planning a hardscape project?

Start by thinking about how you’ll use the space most often. Some homeowners want an area for entertaining, while others prioritize easier maintenance or improved access around the property. We’ll help create a design that reflects your priorities.

Can existing hardscaping be incorporated into a new design?

In some cases, yes. We’ll inspect the condition of your existing patio, walkway, or retaining wall and determine whether it can be integrated into the new project or if replacement provides a better long-term solution.

How do retaining walls improve outdoor spaces?

Retaining walls help manage slopes, reduce erosion, and create level areas for patios, landscaping, or seating. They can also add definition and visual interest to the overall design while improving functionality.

Will heavy rain affect my new hardscape?

Every installation is planned with drainage in mind. Proper grading and base preparation help direct water away from hardscape surfaces, supporting long-term stability during periods of heavy rainfall.

Is hardscaping a good choice for older homes?

Absolutely. Many older homes in Watervliet benefit from updated outdoor spaces that improve accessibility and curb appeal while complementing the property’s existing character.

Can outdoor living projects be completed in stages?

Yes. Many homeowners begin with one feature and add additional improvements over time. We can create a long-term plan that allows future projects to blend seamlessly with the original installation.

Do you help choose materials and colors?

We do. We’ll guide you through available paver styles, textures, and color options while considering your home’s architecture and the overall appearance you’re hoping to achieve.

Can landscaping be added after hardscaping is complete?

Yes. Many homeowners finish their project by enhancing surrounding planting beds or refreshing the landscape. Our landscape contractor services can help complete the overall look of your property.

How do I schedule an estimate?

Simply contact RPM Outdoor Living to arrange a consultation. We’ll visit your Watervliet property, discuss your ideas, evaluate the space, and provide a detailed estimate tailored to your project.
