What's the difference between hardscaping and landscaping?

Hardscaping covers the built features of your outdoor space, like patios, walls and walkways. Landscaping covers the living parts, like lawns, plants, trees and beds. We do both.

Will my pavers shift or sink?

Not when they're installed on a properly excavated and compacted base, which is how we build every project.

Can you combine hardscape with new plantings?

Yes. We often design patios and walls together with new beds and plantings for a finished look.

Built From the Ground Up

Hardscape lasts only as long as the base beneath it. We handle excavation, grading and compaction in-house, then finish with drainage that moves water away from your home or building. That's what keeps pavers level and walls standing straight for years.

Commercial Hardscaping

We build hardscape for businesses too: outdoor dining patios for restaurants and breweries, courtyards and walkways for office buildings, amenity spaces for apartment and HOA communities and retaining walls along parking areas. Learn more about our Commercial Landscaping services.
