Who we are

One contractor who answers for the work

CoreStone Outdoor Living is based at 306 S McKinley Ave, Orlando, FL 32811. We build paver driveways, pool decks, outdoor kitchens and artificial turf for homeowners in Orlando and Central Florida.

We started CoreStone because most homeowners end up juggling a paver crew, a pool crew and a kitchen crew that never talk to each other. We plan the yard as one project, so the levels, the drainage and the finishes match from the driveway to the back fence.

The details

What makes the work last

  • Close-up of freshly laid paver steps

    A compacted base

    We excavate to the right depth and compact the base in lifts. Car traffic needs more than a walkway, so the depth matches the use.

  • Paver edge restraint meeting the lawn

    Edges that hold

    Edge restraints and polymeric sand go on every job, so the joints lock and the borders stay put through the rainy season.

  • Same side yard finished, with artificial turf, a gravel border and a white vinyl fence

    Drainage first

    Slope and drainage are planned before the first paver goes down, always away from the pool and the house.

  • Backyard pool surrounded by artificial turf and a black aluminum fence

    Clean transitions

    Turf, pavers and the pool deck meet cleanly because one crew builds them together.

  • Finished backyard with cypress trees, gravel, white pavers, a hot tub and pergola seating

    One plan

    Pavers, pool deck, kitchen and turf are planned as one project, so levels and finishes match from the driveway to the back fence.
