Hardscaping in Severna Park, MD

Severna Park hardscaping projects we build are mostly in 1970s–1990s established communities — Benfield, Chartwell, Shipley's Choice, Round Bay, and along the Ritchie Highway corridor. Most colonials and ranchers in these neighborhoods have a basic concrete patio or stoop that's 30–50 years old, cracked, and ready for replacement. Waterfront-adjacent properties in Chartwell and Benfield often need grading and paver work alongside lot drainage corrections. Several neighborhoods are within the Severn River Critical Area.

Hardscaping for Severna Park Homes

Severna Park is one of Anne Arundel County's most desirable communities, with excellent schools and proximity to both Baltimore and Annapolis. Many homes here were built in the 1970s-1990s and need kitchen and bathroom updates for modern living. Even high-end new builds like The Reserve at Severna Park and Enclave at Oak Hill often need custom decks, screened porches, and built-in cabinetry that builders don't include. PRG works on projects ranging from kitchen remodels in established colonials to outdoor living spaces in planned communities throughout Severna Park.

Do I need a permit for a patio or retaining wall?

In Anne Arundel and Howard County, small patios at grade typically don't require permits. Retaining walls over 4 feet in height require permits and engineering. Walls that retain a slope, support a structure, or affect drainage may also need permits regardless of height. We'll determine permit requirements during your estimate.
