Elite Hardscapes.

The state insures Elite Hardscapes under landscape construction and lawn care maintenance, which matches what it advertises: excavation and grading, drainage, walkways and outdoor steps, planting beds, sprinklers, ponds and waterfalls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and pergolas. The crew runs four to six people and the work is residential. The company says it is locally and family-owned and claims a warranty on its base construction, tied to the base being built properly. The state lists Melvin Miller and Sara Miller as principals since 2024. Most of its work comes through referrals and repeat customers. That mix suits a homeowner planning a full yard rebuild, where grading, drainage, irrigation and the patio all need to be worked out together, or anyone adding an outdoor living area. It's a landscape and hardscape shop, so framing a new addition or running commercial electrical and plumbing belongs with a different trade. On a Spokane property, the repair-or-replace question for pavers and walls usually comes down to what's underneath. A few heaved or sunken pavers over a sound base can often be lifted, re-leveled and reset. Widespread settling, pooling water or a retaining wall that's leaning points to a base or drainage problem, and freeze-thaw winters will keep working on it until that's fixed. Ask any contractor, Elite Hardscapes included, to dig a test spot and show you the base before deciding.
