Hardscape Contractor in Northwest Arkansas
Turn your outdoor space into something that works.
Hardscaping is what makes a yard feel intentional. After the retaining walls are up, the drainage is in, and the grading is done, hardscape features bring it all together — safe walking paths, low-maintenance rock coverage, natural stone stairs that belong on the property.
GNG Underground installs stone staircases, decorative rock, full yard rock coverage, and natural stone features for residential properties across NWA and Southwest Missouri. We sequence hardscape work correctly — after structural work is done — so the finished features don't get torn up by later construction.
Full yard rocking is one of our most requested services. NWA properties with steep slopes, shade-heavy lots, or high-maintenance ground cover are ideal candidates. Remove the grass, install landscape fabric, spread quality rock — and you're done mowing that section of the yard permanently.

Our Process
Site Visit and Material Selection
We walk the property, discuss what you're trying to accomplish, and review material options. We source stone that fits the NWA landscape and, where possible, matches what's already on your property.
Site Preparation
Existing ground cover is removed, grade is assessed, and the area is prepared for installation. For rocking projects, this includes clearing any debris and verifying the surface is ready for fabric.
Landscape Fabric Installation
For rock coverage projects, quality landscape fabric is laid before stone goes down. This is what keeps the rock from sinking into the soil and the weeds from coming up through it.
Stone or Feature Installation
Rock is spread, stairs are set, boulders are placed. Stairs are set directly into the hillside for stability — not stacked on top of unstable ground.
Cleanup and Final Walk
Property is cleaned up, edging is addressed, and we walk the finished work with you before closing out.
Why Choose GNG Underground
Local Stone Sourcing
We source stone that fits the NWA landscape — natural colors and textures that look like they belong, not like they were imported from somewhere else.
Correct Sequencing
Hardscapes go in after structural and drainage work, not before. We sequence work so your stone features aren't disturbed by later construction.
Material Matching
If we built your retaining wall, we know what stone was used. We can source matching material for hardscape features on the same property.

Frequently Asked Questions
What hardscape services does GNG Underground offer in NWA?
We install stone staircases, full yard rock coverage, decorative boulder placement, stone pathways, flagstone features, and fire-pit areas for residential properties across NWA and SW Missouri.
What does full yard rocking involve?
We remove existing grass or ground cover, install quality landscape fabric, and spread decorative rock across the designated area. It eliminates mowing, reduces water usage, and looks clean year-round — especially popular on sloped NWA lots where grass is difficult to maintain.
What type of rock do you use for yard rocking?
We use locally sourced rock in colors and sizes appropriate for NWA properties — typically river rock, crushed gravel, or larger decorative stone depending on the application and the homeowner's preference.
Can you build stone stairs on a steep hillside?
Yes. We set natural stone steps directly into the hillside for stability. We build stairs regularly on the steep, wooded lots that are common in Bella Vista, Bentonville, and the surrounding NWA communities.
When should hardscapes be installed relative to other work?
Stone features and rock coverage go in after structural work — retaining walls, drainage, grading — is complete. We sequence projects correctly so hardscapes aren't disturbed by later construction.
Can you match stone to my existing retaining wall?
Yes. If we built the wall, we know exactly what stone was used and can source matching material for hardscape features on the same property.
Do you offer free hardscape estimates in Northwest Arkansas?
Yes — all hardscape estimates are free. We come out, look at the site, discuss your goals, and give you a straight quote with no obligation.
