Segmental Systems Inc.

The state insures Segmental Systems under workers'-comp classes for grading, roadway medians and retaining walls, landscape construction, and brick, block and stone masonry, which says more about the work than the general contractor label does. Its public-works filings run from 2003 to 2024 for the cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Pullman and Deer Park, Eastern Washington University, Washington State University, Spokane Public Schools, Cheney School District, Spokane Transit and WSDOT, mostly as a subcontractor. The company says it also installs permeable pavers, natural stone, fire pits, hydrapressed slabs and custom-cut designs. The crew runs four to six people, and the firm dates to 1998. Most of that record is commercial and municipal, and the firm travels well beyond Spokane for it, to Wenatchee, Ellensburg, Clarkston and Coulee Dam. For a homeowner, the match is a project built around hardscape: a permeable paver driveway, a stone retaining wall on a sloped lot, a patio with a fire pit. Indoor remodeling sits outside its work, and so does planting-only landscaping with no wall or paving in it. Hardscape in Spokane runs on the ground's schedule. Frost keeps excavation and base work off the table through much of winter, and once the ground thaws in spring, installers' calendars fill quickly with patios and walls people have been planning since fall. A firm that also bids city and school work will have summer commitments on top of that. Getting a site visit and a design settled over the winter puts a job in line for an early slot. Late summer and early fall are also good for installation, before the freeze returns.
