Hardscaping and Landscaping Greenville SC Properties Can Rely On
C&C Outdoor Solutions provides hardscaping and landscaping in Greenville, SC and throughout the Upstate, working from our base in Simpsonville within about 50 miles. Homeowners and businesses call us when they want a yard that looks finished and holds up through hard rain, clay soil and hot summers.
Many outdoor projects start with plants and pavers. We start with grade and water, because our roots are in stormwater management and drainage. A patio that tilts toward the house or a wall that leans after its first wet winter usually failed underground, long before anyone saw a problem on the surface.
That is why every project begins with a look at where water enters the yard, where it collects and where it can leave. From there we shape the ground, set the base and only then lay pavers, pour concrete, stack block or plant. The result is an outdoor space that stays level, drains well and keeps its looks season after season.
Hardscaping Greenville SC Yards Need, From Pavers to Plantings
Every hard surface and planted bed on a property changes where rain goes, so these services are planned together instead of one at a time. Paving, walls, lighting and lawn all share the same ground, and a design that accounts for slope and runoff keeps each one working longer.
-
Patio Installation
Paver and concrete patios planned around how you use your yard, set on a compacted base and sloped to carry rain away from your home.
-
Retaining Walls
Block retaining walls that turn steep, washing slopes into level, usable ground, built with the base and drainage that keep a wall standing straight.
-
Paver Driveways & Walkways
Paver driveways and walkways laid over a deep, compacted base so they handle cars, foot traffic and heavy Upstate rain without rutting or sinking.
-
Concrete Installation
Driveways, sidewalks and pads formed, reinforced and poured over a compacted base, with the grade set so rain drains off instead of under.
-
Landscape Design
Planting beds, mulch, decorative rock and flower beds planned around your soil, sun and drainage, then installed by C&C Outdoor Solutions, a family-owned company based in Simpsonville.
-
Lawn Care & Sod
Routine upkeep, spring and fall cleanups and new sod lawns from C&C Outdoor Solutions, planned around Upstate clay, sloped yards and the grass that suits your property.

Landscape Lighting
Path, patio and accent lights that make your yard easier to use after dark, laid out and installed by C&C Outdoor Solutions alongside the landscape and hardscape around them.
-
Waterfalls & Fountains
Natural stone waterfalls, pondless systems and fountains built to run cleanly for years, plus repairs for features that have stopped flowing, from C&C Outdoor Solutions.
Patios, Retaining Walls and Landscape Construction Upstate SC Homeowners Ask For Most
The projects we build most often are the ones that change how a yard is used. A new patio turns a patch of worn grass into a place to cook and gather, and it becomes the anchor for the outdoor living spaces many families add over time.
Retaining walls do the heavy work on sloped Upstate lots. They hold back soil, create level ground for a patio or lawn, and stop the slow erosion that eats away at a hillside after every storm. Each wall gets a compacted base, gravel backfill and a drain behind it, since trapped water is what pushes walls over.
Larger landscape construction projects combine both with grading, drainage, sod and plantings. Doing that work in one plan, with one crew, means the patio, the wall and the lawn are all graded to move water the same direction.

Build and Finish
Pavers, concrete, walls, sod, beds and lighting are installed, the site is cleaned up, and we walk the finished project with you.
Why Choose Our Hardscape Contractors Greenville SC Families Trust
Upstate soils often carry a thin layer of sandy loam over heavy red clay subsoil, and summer thunderstorms can drop a lot of rain in a short time. Hardscape built without allowing for both tends to settle, crack or flood. Our more than 25 years in drainage, grading and hardscape construction is the reason we plan for water first.
We are a family-owned company that builds lasting relationships with the people we work for. Our mission is quality work that improves both the beauty and the function of an outdoor space, using sustainable materials and methods wherever they fit. Estimates for hardscaping and landscaping in Greenville, SC are free, as they are on every service we offer, and small jobs often wrap up in a few days while larger projects take several weeks.
Serving Greenville, Simpsonville, Spartanburg and Anderson
We provide hardscaping and landscaping in Greenville, SC and across the Upstate. Homeowners in Greenville and nearby landscaping in Simpsonville, close to our home base, see us often. We also work east toward landscaping in Spartanburg and southwest toward landscaping in Anderson, along with the smaller communities within about 50 miles of Simpsonville.
Each town has its own mix of flat subdivision lots and steeper wooded properties, and our crews adjust the plan to fit the ground in front of them. A level backyard may only need a patio and fresh sod, while a hillside lot can call for terraced walls, steps and drainage before anything else goes in. Wherever the property sits, the first visit and the estimate cost you nothing.
Hardscaping Questions
Hardscaping and Landscaping Questions
What is the difference between hardscaping and landscaping?
Hardscaping covers the built, nonliving parts of a yard: patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls and other paved or stone features. Landscaping covers the living parts, such as lawn, sod, shrubs, flower beds and mulch. Most good outdoor projects use both, and planning them together lets the paved areas and planted areas share one grading and drainage plan.
Can you handle hardscaping and drainage in the same project?
Yes, and combining them is often the best approach. Our background is in stormwater management, grading and drainage installation, so we can correct a soggy yard, build a retaining wall and add a patio in a single plan. That avoids paying two companies and makes sure new surfaces send water where it can drain away safely.
Do you work on commercial properties as well as homes?
We do. Along with residential yards, we take on landscape and hardscape work for businesses across the Upstate, including walkways, concrete, retaining walls and grading. Commercial sites face the same clay soil and storm runoff as homes, often on a larger scale, so the same water-first planning applies. Call to talk through your property and schedule a free estimate.
When is the best time of year to start an outdoor project?
Hardscape and landscape work can be done through most of the year in the Upstate, though heavy rain or freezing weather can pause concrete pours and planting for a few days. Booking ahead of spring and fall gives you more choice of start dates. Your estimate includes an estimated schedule, so you can plan around family events and the seasons.
How much does hardscaping and landscaping cost?
Cost depends on the size of the project, the materials you choose, the slope of the property and how much grading or drainage work the site needs. A small paver walkway and a full backyard with walls and a patio are priced very differently. We visit the property, measure it and provide a free estimate that explains what drives the total.
