Hardscape Contractors in Central PA

Your backyard should be more than a backyard. It should be the heart of your home! A place where family gathers, friends stay a little longer, and life’s best moments happen for years to come. 

At A Plus Landscaping, we design and build custom hardscapes and outdoor living spaces that bring people together. From paver patios and retaining walls to outdoor kitchens, fire features, and complete backyard transformations, every project is thoughtfully designed around your home, your lifestyle, and the way you want to live outdoors.

As a family-owned design-build company based in Reinholds, PA, we’ve helped homeowners throughout Lancaster, Harrisburg, Hershey, Reading, Mechanicsburg, and surrounding Central Pennsylvania communities create outdoor spaces they’ll enjoy for years to come.

Hardscape Services

No two families use their outdoor spaces the same way. That’s why every project starts with understanding how you want to use your backyard before recommending the right solution, providing a great experience from the first conversation to the final walkthrough!

Paver Patios

Create the foundation of your outdoor living space with a custom patio designed for comfort, beauty, and long-term performance. Whether you’re creating a quiet retreat or a space for entertaining, your patio becomes the center of outdoor living.

Retaining Walls

Transform sloped or difficult spaces into usable areas while adding structure, dimension, and visual appeal to your property. Our retaining walls are engineered for stability while complementing your home’s design.

Paver Driveways

Upgrade one of the hardest-working surfaces on your property with a paver driveway designed for durability, performance, and curb appeal. Unlike traditional surfaces like asphalt, pavers can be repaired individually without replacing the entire area–a great solution for freeze-thaw stress and full-surface cracking.

Outdoor Kitchens

Bring cooking and entertaining outdoors with a custom kitchen integrated into your outdoor living space. Grills, countertops, storage, seating, and gathering spaces are designed to function together seamlessly.

The Difference Is Below the Surface

Long-term hardscape performance depends on proper excavation, drainage planning, base preparation, and attention to detail throughout construction.

Many hardscape failures aren’t caused by the pavers themselves, but by shortcuts taken beneath the surface.

Our installation process is designed to:

  • Improve drainage
  • Reduce settling
  • Minimize maintenance
  • Maximize durability
  • Protect your investment

Because what you don’t see during construction often determines how your project performs years later.

Designed Right Before It’s Built

Every project we build starts with thoughtful design and ends with craftsmanship focused on long-term performance because investing in your home is a big decision. Our design process includes 3D renderings, allowing you to visualize your project before construction begins. That means no surprises or guesswork– just a clear plan and shared vision FIRST!

The A Plus Design & Build Experience

At A Plus, we don’t just build outdoor space. We guide you through a clear, intentional process designed to help you arrive at the right decision for your home, lifestyle, and investment.

From the first conversation to the final walk-through, every step removes uncertainty, clarifies options, and gives you confidence in what you’re choosing before the work begins.

1. Personal Discovery Call

Within 1-2 business days, a dedicated Sales Professional will reach out to understand your vision, priorities and how you want to use your space.

This is not a sales script, but a focused conversation to understand what matters most to you. If A Plus is a fit, we’ll move forward to an on-site visit with all key decision-makers involved.

2. On-Site Design Consultation

We meet at your property to evaluate the space, explore possibilities, and begin shaping a solution. We’ll walk the space together, review inspiration, and discuss ideas in real time so you can start to see what’s possible.

This step brings clarity and most clients leave with a stronger sense of direction and confidence.

3. Design Development & Investment Proposal

From our consultation, we develop a custom design and detailed proposal that reflects both your goals and your property’s full potential.

For larger projects, this may include 3D-renderings and a visual walkthrough so you can experience the space before it’s built. Smaller projects receive a clear, well-defined proposal via email.

We refine materials, layout, and scope with you so by the time you approve, there are zero uncertainties. This is where decisions become easy—not forced.

4. Precision Construction & Execution

Once approved, your project moves into scheduled production where our certified foremen and skilled crews manage every detail from start to finish.

During this phase, your property will temporarily become an active construction environment with excavation and equipment on site. This is a necessary part of transforming your vision into reality, and is managed with care and respect.

You will remain informed throughout the build, with a team that stays accountable.

5. Final Walkthrough & Continued Support

When construction is complete, we walk the project together to ensure every detail aligns with the original vision and meets your expectations–ready to be lived in, enjoyed, and shared for years to come.

And even after completion, we remain available to support you, because our builds aren’t finished when the work stops. A Plus means ongoing ownership and your peace of mind.

We are open for new projects. Let's bring your creative ideas to life together!
