Company
Exterior construction rooted in the site
MEA Stone and Hardscape is an Arden-based specialty contractor serving Western North Carolina. Work centers on natural stone masonry, pavers, patios, walkways, steps, walls, drainage preparation, grading, and base work tied to exterior construction.
MEA works with homeowners, builders, general contractors, landscape contractors, designers, landscape architects, and property managers. Masonry, hardscape, and related site work are reviewed based on scope, timing, access, and site conditions. Much of the work depends on grade, drainage, base compaction, material edges, and clean transitions into existing conditions. Those details are reviewed before pricing or scheduling work across Asheville, Arden, Hendersonville, and surrounding Western North Carolina communities.
Types of work
- Natural stone, brick, block, veneer, and masonry repair
- Patios, paver surfaces, walkways, steps, and entrances
- Landscape walls, planter walls, and qualifying retaining walls
- Excavation, grading, drainage preparation, aggregate base, and site preparation
Site Conditions
What shapes the work
The same material can perform differently from one property to the next. MEA reviews the ground, water movement, edges, and how the space will be used before pricing or scheduling work.
Material fit
Stone, pavers, block, aggregate, and joint materials are matched to the feature, the site, and the expected use.
Written details
Proposals identify included work, exclusions, assumptions, and open items before construction.
Base preparation
Paver, stone, wall, and step installations depend on excavation, aggregate, compaction, and stable subgrade.
Edges and tie-ins
Foundations, doors, coping, walls, planting beds, and grade changes are treated as part of the installation.
