There’s no better way to boost your home’s curb appeal and functionality than with well-designed hardscapes. Whether it’s a new paver patio, a winding stone path, or a stunning retaining wall, hardscaping plays a vital role in how your outdoor space looks and performs. For property owners across Myrtle Beach, Conway, Pawleys Island, and beyond, custom hardscaping adds structure, enhances landscaping, and creates inviting outdoor areas for relaxing or entertaining.

At A.H. Herndon Landscaping & Maintenance, we specialize in designing and building hardscapes that fit your space, style, and coastal lifestyle. With over a decade of experience serving Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Horry County, and Georgetown County, we understand the unique soil, weather, and design needs of homes in this region. Our hardscaping services are all about blending function with beauty—creating outdoor features that last, perform, and look amazing.

Paver Patios and Walkways Built for the Coast

A paver patio is more than a place to sit—it’s an outdoor room, a gathering space, and the foundation for your backyard style. Whether you want a sleek modern design with large-format pavers or a more rustic, coastal vibe with natural stone, we can build the perfect patio that works for your space and your needs. Our walkways add charm and direction, guiding guests through gardens, around pools, or to your front door with eye-catching materials and seamless installation.

Our team starts every project with proper grading and base preparation to ensure long-term durability—something that’s especially important in coastal South Carolina, where heavy rains and sandy soil can wreak havoc on poorly installed hardscapes. We also help you choose the right paver colors, textures, and finishes to complement your home and landscape.

Retaining Walls That Do More Than Hold Back Soil

If you’ve got sloping areas on your property—or you’re dealing with erosion problems—a retaining wall can be both a solution and a style upgrade. At A.H. Herndon Landscaping & Maintenance, we build retaining walls that serve a purpose while also adding visual interest. Our walls can create level planting areas, tiered gardens, or even built-in seating around fire pits or patios.

We use high-quality block, natural stone, and segmental wall systems designed for the unique drainage and load-bearing needs of our region. From small garden walls to large structural builds, we focus on stability and style. And because we understand local codes and permitting, we make the process stress-free from start to finish.

Outdoor Living Features That Make Your Yard Stand Out

Want to take your outdoor space to the next level? Custom fire pits, seating walls, outdoor kitchens, and built-in planters can make your yard more functional and more enjoyable. Whether you’re entertaining guests on a summer night or relaxing on a cool fall evening, these features add year-round value and comfort.

Our team works with you to design the layout, choose materials, and build features that feel like a natural extension of your home. We pay attention to the little things—like wind direction, drainage, and foot traffic—to ensure everything works together seamlessly. These outdoor upgrades are especially popular in areas like Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, and North Myrtle Beach where the weather encourages outdoor living most of the year.

Why Locally Built Hardscapes Last Longer

South Carolina’s coastal weather can be hard on outdoor surfaces. That’s why working with a local expert like A.H. Herndon Landscaping & Maintenance makes a difference. We know how to install hardscapes that withstand the heat, humidity, salt air, and sudden rain. We also choose materials that are made to last and match the look of the region.

Being local means we’re also here for the long haul. Whether it’s a small touch-up, a seasonal update, or expanding your outdoor space later, we’re just a phone call away—and we treat your yard like it’s our own. Every hardscape project is a custom job, tailored to your goals and the specific conditions of your property.
