Pavers, Water Features, Retaining Walls & Fire Pits in Reno

Proven Approach to Outdoor Hardscape in Reno

Reno homeowners who want pavers, water features, retaining walls, or fire pits that deliver year-round function-not just curb appeal-choose Longhorn Landscaping, LLC for installations built to handle 4,500-foot elevation, alkaline soil, and the Washoe Valley's signature wind gusts. Hardscape that looks sharp in October can crack, settle, or stain by March if the base prep ignores local hydrology and soil chemistry.
We've worked across Reno's diverse housing stock, from midcentury ranch homes near the university to newer developments in South Meadows, and every project starts with soil testing and drainage mapping. Reno's caliche layer sits just eighteen to thirty-six inches down in many neighborhoods, and breaking through it is the difference between a retaining wall that lasts decades and one that leans within three years.
Our process removes guesswork: you get a walkthrough of material choices, a timeline that accounts for weather windows, and hardscape that enhances your property value the day we finish.

From Booking to Follow-Up

Step one is a site visit where we assess slope, sun exposure, existing drainage, and how you actually use your yard-because a fire pit positioned for sunset views means nothing if prevailing wind blows smoke straight at your seating. We measure, photograph, and map utilities before a shovel touches dirt.
Next, we present material options for pavers, water features, retaining walls, and fire pits with upfront pricing that includes base excavation, compaction, and finish details like coping and accent lighting. You'll see samples, not just photos, so you know exactly what texture and color will look like in Reno's intense high-desert sunlight.

What You Can Expect

Timelines run two to five days for most residential projects, weather permitting, and we schedule around Reno's narrow spring and fall installation windows when soil moisture is workable but not saturated. Pricing reflects the extra base prep and material specs required at elevation, but it eliminates the service calls and repairs that plague shortcuts.

Clients routinely tell us their Reno hardscape has become the most-used part of their property-morning coffee by the water feature, summer dinners on the paver patio, fall evenings around the fire pit. When installation is done right the first time, maintenance is minimal and enjoyment is maximum, season after season.
