Excavation, Hardscapes & Landscaping in Roanoke
Full-service outdoor construction for residential and commercial properties across Roanoke and Roanoke County / City of Roanoke.
Why Ridgestone in Roanoke
Roanoke is our home base. We know the terrain, the soil, and the neighborhoods — from the steep hillside lots above Mill Mountain to the flat clay-heavy yards in Cave Spring and Hollins. That familiarity shapes how we plan every project.
The Roanoke Valley's clay soil holds water and expands, which means drainage has to be part of every conversation — whether you're building a patio, a retaining wall, or grading a lot for new construction. We've seen what happens when contractors skip that step, and we don't repeat their mistakes.
We work across both Roanoke City and Roanoke County, which are separate jurisdictions with different permitting requirements. We handle that coordination so you don't have to figure out which office to call or which forms to file.

Roanoke service questions
What areas of Roanoke do you serve? +
We serve all of Roanoke City and Roanoke County — South Roanoke, Grandin, Raleigh Court, Cave Spring, Hollins, Bonsack, and surrounding neighborhoods. We also cover adjacent communities like Salem, Vinton, and Daleville.
Do permits differ between Roanoke City and Roanoke County? +
Yes. Roanoke City and Roanoke County are separate jurisdictions with different permitting requirements, fee schedules, and inspection processes. We know both systems and handle permit coordination as part of the project.
How quickly can you start a project in Roanoke? +
Roanoke is our home base, so response times are fast — usually within 1 business day for an estimate and 1–2 weeks to start work depending on the season and scope.
What soil conditions should I know about in Roanoke? +
The Roanoke Valley has heavy clay soil that holds water and expands when wet. This affects drainage, foundation stability, and hardscape base prep. Every project we do here accounts for these conditions — proper drainage isn't optional, it's built into the plan.
Do you handle projects in both the city and the county? +
Yes. We work regularly in both Roanoke City and Roanoke County. The two jurisdictions have different building departments and permitting processes, and we're familiar with both.
