Paving Stones & Hardscapes
Nothing transforms an outdoor space quite like a beautifully laid paving stone patio, pathway, or driveway. At VanWyck LanDesign, our team includes a certified brick and retaining wall specialist, so every hardscape we install is engineered to last through Western North Carolina’s freeze-thaw winters and humid mountain summers alike. From sweeping circular patios that wrap around mature trees to contemplative stone pathways that guide guests toward your front door, we hand-select paver styles, colors, and patterns that complement your home’s architecture and the natural contours of your property. Our paving stone installations include proper base preparation, polymeric jointing sand, and precision cuts around curves and structures — the details that separate a patio that lasts five years from one that lasts fifty. As Certified Techo-Pros and an Unilock Authorized Contractor, we stand behind every installation with a two-year installation warranty, and the pavers themselves carry a lifetime transferable manufacturer warranty that passes on to future homeowners if you ever sell. We also install and repair gravel driveways and build custom retaining walls to solve grading challenges on sloped Blue Ridge Mountain lots. Request a free estimate and let us show you what a true craftsman-built hardscape looks like.
Water Features
There is nothing quite like the sound of moving water to turn a backyard into a retreat. VanWyck LanDesign designs and builds custom water features — cascading waterfalls and meandering streams — using native stacked stone sourced right here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We build exclusively on a low-maintenance pondless system: water recirculates through a hidden underground basin rather than sitting in open standing water, so you get all the sight and sound of a natural waterfall without the algae, debris, and upkeep of a traditional pond. Every installation is engineered for reliability first: properly sized pumps and filtration, freeze-protected plumbing, and rock work that looks as though it grew there naturally rather than being installed. Beyond the waterfall itself, we integrate landscape plantings, moss-covered boulders, and landscape lighting so the feature becomes a focal point day and night. Whether you envision a small courtyard fountain or a dramatic multi-tiered waterfall cascading down a hillside retaining wall, our horticulturally trained designers will craft a water feature that fits both your property and your budget — and every installation is backed by our one-year workmanship warranty.

The VanWyck LanDesign Difference
Degreed & Certified Craftsmen
Owner Dave VanWyck holds a Horticulture and Landscape Design degree from Michigan State University and is a Certified Nurseryman as well as a certified brick and retaining wall specialist. Our team is also Techo-Pro Certified and an Unilock Authorized Contractor, meaning every plant we select and every hardscape we build is backed by real horticultural science and manufacturer-recognized installation expertise — not just guesswork learned on the job.
Two Decades of Mountain Craftsmanship
Founded in 2005, VanWyck LanDesign has spent two decades building paving stone patios, pondless water features, landscapes, and retaining walls and outdoor lighting across Asheville, Hendersonville, and Western North Carolina. Dave brings 32 years of field experience to every project, so your property is in the hands of someone who has already solved the grading, drainage, and design challenges unique to Blue Ridge Mountain terrain.
Dependability Is Our Signature
We pride ourselves on superb customer relations, the highest-quality craftsmanship, and unrivaled dependability. When we say “We’ll be there,” we’ll be there. Always. Every project we build is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty, and our paving stone installations carry an additional two-year installation warranty plus a lifetime transferable manufacturer warranty on the pavers themselves.
