Hardscaping & Patios — Fox Valley, WI
Stone & Structure
Built to Last a Wisconsin Lifetime.
Quality hardscaping built to handle Fox Valley winters and look sharp for decades. Patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps, and outdoor living structures — all from the same family team.
Every Hardscape We Build Is Designed to Last
Hardscaping is one of the highest-value investments on your property. Done right, a patio or retaining wall outlasts almost everything else. Done wrong, it shifts, cracks, and costs you more later.
We've been building hardscapes in Fox Valley soil for over four decades. We know freeze-thaw behavior, proper base prep, and which materials hold up in Wisconsin. That's what separates a 30-year hardscape from a 5-year repair bill.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hardscaping & Patios
Q: What types of patios do you install in the Fox Valley?
A: We install concrete pavers, natural flagstone, bluestone, and poured concrete patios. During your consultation, we help you choose the material that fits your budget and Wisconsin's freeze-thaw conditions.
Q: How long does a patio installation take?
A: Most residential patio projects take two to five days, depending on size and complexity. We provide a detailed timeline in every proposal.
Q: Why do retaining walls fail and how do you prevent it?
A: Most failures come from poor base preparation. We engineer every wall for your specific site, soil type, and drainage. A properly built retaining wall should last 20 to 30 years.
Q: Do you build outdoor kitchens or fire pit areas?
A: Yes. We design and build fire pit surrounds, seating walls, and outdoor kitchen structures. These are quoted as custom projects — call (920) 422-3968 to discuss your ideas.
Q: Can hardscaping be added to an existing landscape?
A: Absolutely. We work with existing plantings, grades, and structures all the time. We assess the site first to make sure any new hardscape integrates properly.
Q: How much does a patio cost in the Fox Valley?
A: Pricing depends on size, material, and site prep required. Oberstadt provides free, detailed estimates for every hardscaping project — call (920) 422-3968 to get started.
