Stratford's varied terrain — Mount Mellick hillsides, Keppoch waterfront grade changes, and the gentler slopes through Bunbury and Cross Roads — makes hardscape one of the most-requested services we run there. Engineered retaining walls, garden walls, fire pits, stone steps, columns, and drainage solutions, all built to handle PEI's freeze-thaw and the occasional Maritime windstorm.
Aderz Outdoors is based just minutes away in Charlottetown — Stratford is one of our core hardscape service areas, with same-week site visits and full-crew availability.
Every hardscaping service we offer is available throughout Stratford and the surrounding area.
What separates a hardscape that lasts 30 years from one that bulges and fails in five usually isn't the stone — it's what you can't see. Base depth, drainage backfill behind walls, geogrid reinforcement on engineered walls, and properly compacted lifts are non-negotiable on every Aderz hardscape build, especially on Stratford's varied terrain.
Walls 4 ft and over require building permits in PEI — we handle the design submissions and engineering when needed.
Every wall gets compacted gravel backfill and a perforated drain pipe to handle PEI's wet seasons.
Standard on every engineered retaining wall — pulls the soil mass into the wall to prevent overturning.
Capstones adhered with concrete construction adhesive — they don't fly off in a Maritime windstorm.
