Hardscaping Services in York County
Professional Hardscaping
in Kennebunk and Southern Maine
Billy Goat Landscaping designs and installs hardscaping for residential properties throughout Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Wells, and the surrounding York County area. Every project starts with a site assessment and a design conversation so you know exactly what you are getting before work begins.
Patio Design & Installation
Natural stone, concrete pavers, and brick installed with proper pitch, drainage, and base preparation. We handle the design conversation and material selection before work begins.
- Patio design and installation
- Natural stone, pavers, and brick options
- Drainage grading and base preparation
- Border and edge finishing
Pool Surrounds
Pool surrounds take more abuse than any other hardscape on your property. Constant moisture, foot traffic, chemical exposure, and Maine freeze-thaw cycles demand materials and installation that hold up. We design around drainage, slip resistance, and durability first.
- Full pool surround design and installation
- Natural stone, paver, and flagstone options
- Coping and pool edge finishing
- Drainage and surface water management
- Seating walls, fire pit areas, and outdoor living additions
Retaining Walls
We build retaining walls from natural stone, segmental block, and boulders. Proper drainage behind the wall and adequate base depth are not optional, a wall that fails does it quietly and then all at once.
- Natural stone, segmental block, and boulder options
- Base preparation and drainage installation
- Tiered wall design for significant grade changes
- Integration with steps and surrounding hardscape
Walkways & Steps
Walkways and steps should feel natural in all four seasons, including ice and snow. We install in natural stone, pavers, and brick with proper pitch and stable footing throughout.
- Front entry and approach walkways
- Garden and landscape paths
- Entry, terrace, and hillside steps
- Landing areas at doors and grade transitions
Outdoor Firepits & Seating Walls
A patio without a focal point is just a slab. A built-in seating wall gives the space structure and eliminates the need to drag furniture around every season. A fire pit area with proper setback, drainage, and surface preparation is a feature that gets used from the first warm night in May through the last fire in October.
- Fire pit pad design and installation with proper setback and drainage
- Built-in seating wall installation in natural stone, pavers, or block
- Material matching to existing or planned hardscape
- Combined patio, seating wall, and fire pit area design
- Pergola footing installation where applicable

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you work with? Natural stone, concrete pavers, brick, segmental retaining wall block, and boulders. We walk you through the options that make sense for your project and your budget during the estimate.
Do I need a permit for a patio or retaining wall? Sometimes. Retaining walls over a certain height typically require a permit and occasionally an engineering review. We will let you know what applies to your project before work begins.
What is the best time of year to install hardscaping? Spring through fall. We do not install when the ground is frozen. If you are planning a project for next season, reaching out over the winter gets you on the schedule before spring fills up.
Can you match existing hardscape on my property? We will source materials that complement what is already there. Natural stone varies by quarry so an exact match is not always possible, but a close match usually is.
How do I maintain a paver patio over time? Keep the joints filled with polymeric sand, reseal every few years, and sweep regularly. We walk you through what your specific installation needs before we leave the job.
