Hardscaping in Howard County, Maryland
Rhine builds the permanent elements that shape an outdoor environment—from patios and walkways to retaining walls, fireplaces, kitchens, decks and pavilions—while coordinating the surrounding landscape, drainage and site plan.

Hardscape Should Belong to the Property
The strongest hardscape projects do more than add stone or pavers. They establish circulation, gathering spaces, grade changes, transitions and focal points that connect the home to the landscape.
Rhine can coordinate hardscape construction with landscape design, planting and landscaping, drainage, and swimming pools so the project functions as one outdoor environment.
Built In-House
Rhine’s published hardscaping information notes more than 30 masons on staff, allowing the company to keep substantial masonry expertise in-house rather than relying entirely on subcontracted crews.
Rhine also publishes a five-year guarantee on qualifying hardscape work.
