As we hunker down for the chilly days of January, our minds drift toward the warmer months ahead. It’s an excellent time to plan outdoor improvements that will make your space more enjoyable come Spring and Summer. Among the many ways you can enhance your property, a custom hardscape project is one of the most impactful.
You may have specific ideas for how you want to elevate your outdoor space, or, like many clients, you may need help casting a vision. At your consultation, your Account Manager will listen to your priorities, taking into account your lifestyle needs, design preferences and budget. This will allow them to present customized options to begin transforming your space.
Let’s dive into the various hardscape elements that your custom project can incorporate.
Patios: Your Go-To Hangout Spot
A patio is the beating heart of your outdoor space—a place to relax, entertain and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you prefer modern options of industry-leading pavers or the natural beauty of flagstone, we’ve got you covered. Our goal is to craft a functional space that complements your home and landscape seamlessly.
Walkways: Where Style Meets Functionality
Walkways aren’t just paths; they’re an opportunity to add style and elegance to your property. Whether guiding guests to your front door or leading to hidden garden nooks, we design walkways that blend with your outdoor spaces. With a variety of materials available, these ensure smooth transitions between different areas.
Retaining Walls: Beauty Meets Strength
Retaining walls serve two essential purposes: they enhance the look of your landscape and provide critical structural support. These can transform a sloped area into a tiered garden, create terraced seating for outdoor gatherings and sometimes even help resolve drainage issues. Our retaining walls are functional, visually appealing and built to last.
Driveways: Where Curb Appeal Begins
Your driveway is the first thing guests see when they arrive. Upgrade your home’s entrance with a custom driveway that’s both durable and stylish. Whether you prefer the design options of pavers or the versatility of concrete, we create welcoming entrances that leave a lasting impression.
Fire Pits: Gather ‘Round the Fire
Extend your outdoor enjoyment into the cooler evenings with a fire pit. Gather around the warm glow, roast marshmallows and make lasting memories with family and friends. We offer various options, from traditional wood-burning fire pits to modern gas-powered designs, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your outdoor space.
Choosing the Right Materials
In addition to the various hardscape elements, your choice of materials plays a pivotal role in achieving the desired look and feel for your outdoor space. Here are some popular materials to consider:
Pavers: Versatile and available in various colors, patterns and styles.
Slabs: Clean and modern.
Flagstone: Natural and rustic.
Brick: Timeless and traditional.
Steppers: Ideal for creating informal pathways through yards or gardens.
Concrete: Durable and customizable.
