The Short List
Awards are a byproduct. The work comes first.
Since 2016, we've collected a few industry honors and certifications along the way. Our installers are ICPI certified, we're an authorized Belgard and Unilock contractor, and the Better Business Bureau rates us A+. They're a useful signal, but not the main point.

Certifications, explained.
Is Kansas City Hardscapes ICPI certified?
Yes. Our installers are certified by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI). ICPI sets the installation standards for concrete pavers, including how the base is dug, graded and compacted, which is what keeps a patio from shifting and sinking over time.
Is Kansas City Hardscapes accredited by the Better Business Bureau?
Yes. Kansas City Hardscapes is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and holds an A+ rating. You can look up our profile and history at bbb.org.
What certifications should a hardscape contractor have?
For paver patios and walkways, look for ICPI certification. For retaining walls, the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) certifies installers in segmental retaining walls, which covers how a wall is built to hold back soil. It also helps when a contractor is authorized by the manufacturers whose products they install, such as Belgard or Unilock, since those programs train contractors on their own products. Every contractor should also carry general liability insurance.
