Make Your Backyard Worth Spending Time In
Evansville summers are long enough to get real use out of a backyard, but most yards in this area sit empty because there is nothing out there pulling people outside. A flat patch of grass does not create a reason to stay out after dinner or have the neighbors over on a Friday night.
That is the problem a well-built outdoor living area solves. A fire pit with seating, a defined patio space, a low retaining wall that doubles as a bench ledge, these are the kinds of features that actually change how you use your property. Hausmann Outdoor Solutions builds fire pits and outdoor living areas in Evansville and the surrounding communities for homeowners who want a finished, functional backyard, not just more square footage.
What's Included
Every project is different, but outdoor living area builds with Hausmann typically include some combination of the following:
Paver patio installation to create a clean, level surface around the fire pit for chairs, tables, and foot traffic
Seating walls and retaining walls integrated into the layout so the space feels finished rather than just a ring of rocks in a yard
Landscape edging and bed work around the living area so the hardscape and plantings tie together
Grading and base preparation done correctly before anything goes down, because skipping that step is how patios crack and shift within a couple of seasons

Why Base Preparation Matters More Than Most People Realize
When a fire pit or patio starts to crack, shift, or settle unevenly within a few years of being built, the cause is almost always what happened before the first stone or paver went down. A proper aggregate base, compacted in layers to the right depth, is what keeps the finished surface level and stable through Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles season after season.
Skipping or shortcutting the base prep is one of the most common reasons homeowners end up redoing hardscape work they paid for not long ago. It is not a visible step. You will never see it once the project is done. But it is the step that determines whether the finished space holds up for years or starts showing problems after the first winter.
We excavate to the depth the project calls for, bring in the right aggregate, and compact it properly before any surface material goes down. That process takes more time and adds to the labor involved, but it is not something we skip.
Our Process
01
Site visit and conversation
Zach comes out to your property, looks at the space, talks through what you want to use it for, and takes measurements. No obligation at this stage.
02
Written quote
You get a written quote detailing the scope and materials before any work is scheduled. No surprises on the back end.
03
Design layout
Before breaking ground, we mark out the footprint so you can see the shape and size on the actual ground. Easier to adjust a line in the dirt than to move finished stonework.
04
Base preparation
We excavate and compact a proper aggregate base. This is the step most homeowners never see, but it is what separates a patio that lasts from one that needs repairs in three years.
05
Installation
Fire pit structure, paver field, walls, and any integrated landscape work go in. We work in a sequence that protects finished surfaces as we go.
06
Cleanup and walkthrough
The site gets cleaned up and we walk the finished space with you before we consider the job done.

How the Job Goes
For a new landscape install or hardscape project, Zach will walk the property with you, sketch a design layout by hand, and send you plant options to look at before anything gets ordered.
You see the plan before a shovel goes in the ground.
For recurring services like lawn mowing, fertilization, weed control, and seasonal cleanups, the process is straightforward.
You get a written quote, you agree to it, and the crew keeps your property on schedule. No surprises on the invoice.
For snow and ice management on commercial properties, the same principle applies
The scope and pricing are agreed on in advance so you know what to expect when a storm rolls through.
What to Expect on Price and Timing
Hausmann does not quote jobs over the phone without seeing the property first. A walk-through keeps the number honest for both sides. You will always have a written quote in hand before any work begins.
Timing depends on the season and what is already scheduled. Reach out early if you have a hard deadline, like a party, a sale closing, or a commercial property inspection. Zach will tell you straight whether the date works.
