We own our own natural stone quarry and mill stone in-house, giving us complete control over quality and pricing. With 25+ years of hardscape experience, we specialize in natural stone retaining walls ($150–$300+ per linear foot), boulder walls, stone steps, patios, walkways, and complete outdoor hardscaping engineered for Kansas City clay soils.
At Freedom Stone + Pondscapes, we've spent over 25 years building retaining walls across the Kansas City metro. We've seen what KC's expansive clay soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and rolling terrain do to walls that weren't engineered for them — and we've built our entire process around getting it right. Every piece of natural stone we use in your retaining wall, patio, or staircase comes from our own quarry. We mill it, we cut it, and we install it. That means consistent quality, custom sizing for your specific project, and pricing that doesn't include a middleman markup. It's a different approach, and it's why KC homeowners trust us with their properties.

"Our backyard went from a basic patio to a space we actually live in. The pond sounds, lighting and stonework all feel like they belong here."

Sarah M.
Overland Park, KS
"We had three companies bid. Freedom was the only one who walked our property and explained why our slope needed specific drainage work before building. That level of honesty sold us."
