Services — Hardscape, Outdoor Living, and Landscape
Six core services. ICPI-certified installation. Belgard authorized. Every project supervised by the Finishing Touch team from estimate through final walkthrough.
What We Specialize In
Finishing Touch is a hardscape-focused contractor. Pavers, walls, outdoor living features, and the landscape design that ties them into the property. We don’t do everything — we do these things very well. That focus is what makes a 9-day patio install actually come in at 9 days, and what makes a retaining wall hold for 25 years instead of 5.
Every service below follows the same operational model: The Finishing Touch team estimates the project, designs the work, leads the crew, and walks the finished result with you before the final invoice. There is no salesman, no project manager handoff, no subcontractor chain.
Six Core Services
Paver Patios & Walkways
Custom paver patios, walkways, and driveways built to ICPI specification. Belgard authorized product line, polymeric sand jointing, proper base prep. 25+ year design life.
Retaining Walls
Segmental block, natural stone, and boulder retaining walls engineered for Missouri clay soils. Proper drainage tile and footing depth on every wall.
Outdoor Living
Outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, seat walls, pergolas, and patio lighting. Build a backyard you actually use — not one that just looks good in photos.
Landscape Design & Installation
Full-property landscape design with Missouri-climate planting plans. Trees, shrubs, ground covers, beds, mulch, and edging that age beautifully.
Landscape Construction
Site grading, drainage solutions, soil prep, and structural site work. The invisible foundation that determines whether everything else lasts.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting designed to highlight architecture, illuminate walkways, improve safety, and extend the use of your outdoor living spaces after dark with energy-efficient performance.
What All Six Services Have in Common
Owner-Supervised From First Call to Final Walkthrough
You’re not handed off through a sales-to-PM-to-crew chain. Finishing Touch runs every project under owner supervision. The team that estimates the project is the same team that builds it.
Manufacturer-Spec Installation
ICPI for pavers. Belgard installation guides for retaining walls. Manufacturer drainage requirements for fire features. We don’t freelance specifications — we follow the published standards.
Written Estimates with Itemized Materials
Every estimate shows materials by product line, labor, drainage details, and timeline. No vague line items. You can take our estimate to a Belgard dealer and verify pricing on materials.
Workmanship Guarantee
We back installation quality. Belgard backs material quality. If something we built has a workmanship issue, we come back and fix it.
