Transforming Outdoor Living with Hardscapes: Why Williams Trusts Delgado Stone, Cambridge Pavers, and Trex Decking

Hi, I’m Kimberley Williams, SVP of Retail Operations and Marketing for Williams Lumber and Home Centers. As a family-founded business rooted in the Hudson Valley since 1946, we’ve always believed in helping our customers build better—whether that means a new deck, a beautiful patio, or a full-scale backyard renovation. And when it comes to outdoor living, nothing creates timeless, functional beauty like high-quality hardscapes.

At Williams, we proudly carry Delgado Stone, Cambridge Pavers, and Trex Decking—brands we’ve chosen intentionally because they align with our core values: integrity, durability, sustainability, and outstanding customer service. Our mission is to help homeowners and contractors find the best products for their specific needs, at the right price and with trusted guidance from our experienced associates.

Why Hardscapes?

Let’s start with why hardscaping matters. Adding stone, pavers, or composite decking to your yard doesn’t just enhance the look of your home—it adds lasting value and functionality to your property. Whether you’re thinking of a cozy patio with a firepit, a winding garden path, or an expansive deck perfect for entertaining, hardscapes are a cost-efficient and energy-efficient way to upgrade your space.

Unlike lawns or wood that require frequent maintenance and watering, hardscapes offer long-term savings, minimal upkeep, and increased durability. Plus, they improve stormwater management and reduce the environmental impact of traditional landscaping.

Delgado Stone: Natural Beauty, Expert Craftsmanship

We’re proud to partner with Delgado Stone, a leading name in natural stone veneer and landscaping stone. Each stone is quarried, cut, and shaped with care, offering rich textures and stunning visual appeal for walls, walkways, and outdoor fireplaces.

We’ve helped customers use Delgado Stone for everything from small garden borders to full outdoor kitchens. The wide variety of colors and styles—from rustic to modern—makes it easy to match your vision. And because Delgado sources responsibly and operates sustainably, it’s a choice you can feel good about.

Cambridge Pavers: Built to Last

If you’re looking for paving stones that combine durability, elegance, and ease of installation, look no further than Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec. These pavers are built to stand up to the harshest weather while retaining their color and finish year after year.

Cambridge offers complete outdoor living kits, which include everything from seating walls to fire pits and kitchens. Whether you’re working on a small garden walkway or an elaborate multi-level patio, our team at Williams can help you design and build using these dependable, high-performance materials.

We recently worked with a homeowner in Rhinebeck to redesign their backyard using Cambridge Pavers. What started as a muddy patch became an outdoor space perfect for family gatherings—proof of what the right materials and guidance can achieve.

Trex Decking: The Future of Outdoor Living

When it comes to decks, Trex is the name we trust. As a leader in composite decking, Trex offers the look and feel of wood without the maintenance. It’s made from 95% recycled materials, making it one of the most sustainable options on the market.

Trex decking resists fading, staining, and mold—meaning no sanding, sealing, or staining is required. It’s perfect for everything from a cozy wraparound porch to a large poolside entertainment space. With multiple styles and finishes to choose from, we’ll help you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and budget.
