What drives the cost of hardscaping in Grosse Pointe
- Area and shape: curves and cuts take more labor
- Material: concrete pavers, permeable pavers, flagstone or natural stone
- Base depth and how much clay or old concrete must be removed
- Steps, seat walls, fire pits and lighting added to the design
- Access for equipment and how far material is carried
- Grade changes that need walls or extra fill
- The age of the home: the typical Grosse Pointe home was built around 1938, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time
Before you hire in Grosse Pointe
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Grosse Pointe was built around 1938. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.
Older plumbing and sewer lines
83% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.
Permits: check with the Grosse Pointe building department before work starts.
How to compare hardscaping quotes
- Compare base depth, stone type and compaction method in writing.
- Ask which paver line and color are specified, and who orders them.
- Confirm edge restraint, joint sand and slope away from the house.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Compare the workmanship warranty for settling and heaving.
