Meet the Founders

It all started with two friends who had a shared passion - building and constructing outdoor living areas. Throughout high-school these guys worked for themselves, slowly growing a small landscaping company year-by-year.  In order to grow the company even further, the owners underwent intensive training seminars and certification classes to better understand interlocking concrete pavers. Both founders are now ICPI certified and yearly continuing education and hands-on training are a staple in their company. With hard work and dedication, and by taking on larger and more complex projects, the company has built a worthy reputation. By actively involving themselves in leading groups such as the Rochester Home-builder's Association and Better Contractor's Bureau, CG Hardscapes participated in several Home and Garden shows and won multiple awards. At the Homearama, CG Hardscapes won best in show two years in a row with Bella Homes, a builder they work closely with, as well as awards through some of their paver manufacturer's like Belgard's "Most Usage of Belgard Preferred Payment". The founders of CG Hardscapes pride themselves on the quality of their work, customer relationships, and ability to create breath-taking outdoor living spaces. They are consistently at every project no matter how big or small and stand behind all of their projects with an industry benchmark - 5 year guarantee.
