Few home improvements have the potential to make a more dramatic and more visible statement than a well-constructed patio, outdoor kitchen or some other iteration of an outdoor living area. At Nyce Crete and Landis Block & Concrete in Souderton, homeowners and professional  contractors will discover only the highest-quality materials, as well as expert advice, needed to create an enduring feature that adds beauty, usefulness, and sophistication to any home. 

 “Homeowners come to us for everything and anything that has to do with outside exteriors, as well as interior stone walls and fireplaces,” says Jarrod Nyce, vice president of Nyce  Crete and Landis Block & Concrete. “Some people do their research and have a good idea of what they want, and others will come in for ideas and then see something here and say, ‘I want this in my backyard. How do I get there?’ We can show them how to get to the finish line.”

At Nyce Crete and Landis Block & Concrete’s spacious showroom, homeowners can peruse a near-endless lineup of materials and design  possibilities for hardscaping and masonry projects of every sort—from patios and stone veneers to pool decks and custom fire features. In addition to Cambridge wall systems  and pavers, which are available in dozens of colors and shapes, the company offers an array of natural stone, including Belgian block, fieldstone and distinctive Pennsylvania flagstone.  

 “Somebody can imagine what they want, but their vision becomes reality when they come in here to see and touch the stone,” says Nyce. “It’s sort of like going to a furniture store; you want to sit down on a couch before you buy it. We’re family owned and operated, and we’ve been around for more than 75 years, so we have a lot of experience. We want to make sure our customers are happy, and we always stand behind our products.”  

Nyce suggests most of his customers require the assistance of a qualified professional to bring their home improvement project to life. For homeowners who need guidance when choosing a contractor to complete the job, Nyce Crete and Landis Block & Concrete wants to help. Over the years, the company has cultivated a preferred network of highly skilled, reputable  craftsmen who specialize in hardscaping and masonry. 

On the other hand, Nyce Crete and Landis Block & Concrete prides itself on serving as a one-stop resource center for DIY customers. A team member can usher a homeowner through the facility’s thousands of square feet of displays to sort through the options. Team members do not work on commission, Nyce adds; rather, their only goal is to help homeowners find the right stone in the right color at the right price, while offering crucial insights that can ensure the job’s success.  

 “Realistically, homeowners who want to do a fire pit all by themselves can walk in here on a Saturday morning and have a completed fire pit by Sunday night,” he says. “Our team is well-versed in the basics of installation, so if a customer has the interest and is capable of doing it without a contractor, we can help them figure out exactly what they need. We’re also familiar with permitting and building codes, so we can help them steer clear of problems or situations they’re going to want to avoid.”  

No matter the need, Nyce says his company can help a homeowner complete a project easily and efficiently. The homeowner’s only constraints are budget, space, and imagination— “and all three have to be considered,” he adds. Although winter might not seem like a good time to start a home-improvement project to enhance one’s enjoyment of the outdoors, Nyce suggests  plotting out the details now can increase the likelihood that the project will be complete by the arrival of kinder weather.

 “May is right around the corner,” he adds. “Contractors book up fast, so start planning now. If you don’t have someone lined up already, we can give you three or four names of people to begin the process—and we’re always here to help you consider all of your options. If you want your outdoor living space to be ready by graduation day or even the Fourth of July, you don’t want to wait until the ground gets warm and the grass is getting green.”
