Apex, North Carolina

Old brick downtown, newer streets.

Historic Downtown Apex is brick, and the Union Depot sits there with a brick-walled terrace and steps.

Salem Street and the historic Town Hall give the old center a look that new work should respect.

Beyond downtown, the typical Apex house was built around 2008, and about three in four households own their home.

That mix calls for two kinds of work: brick and stone that match old masonry, and hardscape for newer lots.

We lay stone veneer, pillars and steps, paver driveways and patios, and outdoor fireplaces and kitchens.

With Salem Pond Park, Beaver Creek Trail and the American Tobacco Trail nearby, an outdoor space earns its keep.

We match the brick, the mortar joint and the scale of the house before we set the first stone.

Apex is about 23 minutes from our North Raleigh base, by way of I-440, US 1 and US 64 (Pope Memorial Highway).

Call (919) 625-3963 and we will walk the property with you and write up a free on-site estimate.

The ground we build on

Old center, new lots.

Downtown brick and a newer subdivision are not the same job, so we read the site before we write the estimate.

Near the old center, we look at what is already holding up and what is failing, then match it.

On newer lots, we check the grade the builder left, since that sets where the water goes.

Either way the base comes first: dug to firm soil, filled with base rock and compacted in layers.

Drainage stone, weep holes in walls and joint sand in pavers do the quiet work after that.

If your Apex street has an HOA, we can give you a plan and materials to send in.

  • Flagstone patio with a fire table and capped white seat walls against the woods

  • Outdoor kitchen and wood-burning fireplace in stacked stone block on a large-format paver patio

Can new brick or stone match my older house?

Usually, yes. We match the size, color and mortar joint to what is on the wall.

You see samples before you commit.

What goes under a paver driveway?

A compacted base of crushed rock, a bedding layer, the pavers and edge restraint.

We finish by sweeping joint sand in.
