What to expect from our process, pricing, and 7-year workmanship guarantee.

Finding a reliable contractor shouldn't feel like a second job. At Enhanced Homescapes, we believe in clear expectations, honest pricing, and doing things the right way the first time.

Whether you’re looking for a custom paver patio in Stark County or professional drainage solutions in Summit County, our process is designed to save you time and provide total clarity before a single shovel hits the dirt.


Step 1: The Free Phone Consultation (Discovery)

Every project begins with a 15–30 minute complimentary phone call. This is the fastest way to see if we’re a good fit for your goals and budget.

What we cover on the call:

  • Your vision, timeline, and rough budget range.
  • Review of any photos or videos you’ve sent over (our favorite way to "see" your yard fast).
  • Ballpark Pricing: Whenever possible, we provide a reliable price range during this call so you aren't left guessing.
Pro Tip: To get the most accurate ballpark price, text or email us photos of the project area, including any access points (like gates or narrow side yards) and existing drainage issues.

Step 2: The $100 On-Site Consultation (Diagnostic)

When a project requires an expert eye, we schedule a formal on-site visit. We charge a $100 consultation fee for this visit, which covers up to one hour on-site.

Why the fee? Unlike "free estimates" that result in a price scribbled on a napkin, this is a professional site evaluation. We perform:

  • Precise measurements and grading checks.
  • Evaluation of soil, drainage indicators, and site constraints.
  • A deep dive into material options and project scope.

The Best Part: The $100 fee is credited back to your project if you move forward with us. If you don't, you still walk away with professional measurements and a clear direction for your backyard—the best $100 you'll spend on your home this year.


Step 3: Design Services (Optional)

Most standard patios or drainage fixes don’t require a formal design. However, if you have a complex multi-phase concept or want to see the "final look" before we build, we offer 3D Visualization and 2D layouts.

  • Investment: Starts at $500.
  • Timeline: Typically takes 2–4 weeks.
  • Bonus: Design fees are credited back on any project over $10,000.



Our Standards: Quality & Warranty

We aren't just laying stone; we’re engineering outdoor spaces that last through Ohio’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles.

  • 7-Year Workmanship Warranty: This is our standard. While others offer a year or two, we stand by our methods for nearly a decade.
  • Lifetime Material Warranty: We use premium products like Oberfields to ensure your investment looks great for a lifetime.
  • Minimum Project Size: To maintain our quality standards, we have a $700 minimum for all installation services.


Proudly Serving Northeast Ohio

We provide expert hardscaping and landscape drainage across:

  • Stark County: Canton, Uniontown, North Canton, Massillon.
  • Summit County: Akron, Hudson, Stow, Green.
  • Portage County: Kent, Ravenna, Mogadore.
