About COVIS
With headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina, COVIS focuses on hardscaping services and outdoor contracting solutions that create beautiful, cozy, and functional outdoor living areas. We provide customers with the stone patio installation, retaining wall construction, and other hardscape design and build services they’ve always dreamed of at a price they can afford. We call this “The COVIS Difference”.
For landscapers or contractors, the COVIS Franchise Program provides you with the opportunity to receive hardscape training and high-quality hardscaping materials to grow your business.
We also offer our franchise partners help by providing marketing materials and services that protect, promote, and preserve the COVIS brand. Contact COVIS to discuss your options and find out how we can help you with your landscaping services or outdoor stone installation needs!
